ActiveX control developed by Multimédia Soft that makes it easy adding sound playback capabilities to applications written with the most widely-used development environments that accept ActiveX controls such as Visual Studio and Visual Studio.NET.
This ActiveX control, originally developed for the Jeux market, helps developers adding sound playback to Jeux or applications using the most diffused sound formats like MP3, WAV and OGG Vorbis. The most diffused MOD formats are managed also and, if the Microsoft Windows Media Player components are installed on the target PC, this ActiveX control can also manage WMA files and the sound frames of ASF and WMV files.
This control can retrieve the main information about the loaded sound files and it's capable of retrieving TAG information for MP3 files (ID3V1 and ID3V2), OGG Vorbis files and Shoutcast ICY and Metadata for Internet streams.
A set of dedicated methods allows creating, loading and using playlists and applying special effects (DMOs and EAX) over the playing sound.
The latest version supports tempo, playback rate and pitch change of the playing song.
