What's wrong with Google ? ... There's rarely anything new that's not been
done before and it's really just a matter of composing the appropriate
search text string to get the answer and this can be tricky sometimes but
.... if you enter "Delphi Background Music" as the search text then you'll
find lots of potential solutions and the groups section of Google has many
threads on this subject.
If you want a good recommendation for a commercial audio player then we use
bass.dll from www.un4seen.com - that's probably an overkill for your needs
and I'd suggest looking at Torry's site for some examples / components or
maybe
http://www.carlosb.com/

Sheez! Why are so many people replying like this nowadays? These newsgroups
are a perfectly legitimate place to ask questions. |

Because these questions have been answered in the past ten years and Google
has the archive of this and all other newsgroups so it would be faster to
get the answer, than to ask and wait.
Also,
Google has a "Code Search" engine specifically designed to find source code:
http://www.google.com/codesearch
But I guess it's OK to just come and ask and be lazy and expect everyone to
do your research for you... |

Thanks Todd ... I was going to ignore it ...
Todd is correct but there are other benefits to be gained through Googling
.... seldom does any newsgroup provide fully documented code whereas other
site webmasters have the time to share their knowledge with others and to
provide not only well documented code and components but also a wealth of
reference material and other links.
And as Todd has already pointed out when a subject has been 'done to death'
then it's easier to search for these previous discussions.
Perhaps John has the courage to continue this discussion in the
non-technical group ?

Sorry for troubling you!!!!!
I see your point but there is no point being rude, i am knew round here and
just starting out, you could have just pointed me in the right direction or
you didn't need to reply at all. I am by no means lazy and for someone to
say that about me who has only seen one of my posts is just wrong.
Thanks for your help
