 Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2003 6:32 am Post subject: Playing MIDI files from memory |
 |
|
In my program I have to deal with a number of MIDI files and play them. The
MIDI files are stored in memory streams though. At the moment I first save
them to a file and then use the Media Player component to play them but this
results in a clear interuption because of the saving and loading of the
files.
So here is my question: How do I play MIDI files directy from a memory
stream. Can I use the mediaplayer component for this, or the MCI interface,
or do I have to do something else? (I do not want to use anything based on
DirectX version higher than 6 because of other compatibility issues, so e.g.
no DirectMusic at the moment.)
Help would be very much appreciated.

Use the low-level MIDI API functions in mmsystem.dll
