Question

I’m looking for a way for playing an MP3 file without any 3rd side playing it(Media Player, etc) Is there any way for doing it?
Thank you.

Answer 1

I have written an open source library called NAudio that can do this:

private IWavePlayer waveOut;
private Mp3FileReader mp3FileReader;

private void PlayMp3()
{
    this.waveOut = new WaveOut(); // or new WaveOutEvent() if you are not using WinForms/WPF
    this.mp3FileReader = new Mp3FileReader("myfile.mp3");
    this.waveOut.Init(mp3FileReader);
    this.waveOut.Play();
    this.waveOut.PlaybackStopped += OnPlaybackStopped;
}

private void OnPlaybackStopped(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.waveOut.Dispose();
    this.mp3FileReader.Dispose();
}
