I got 4 songs in .wav format.. And I need help for how to play them one after each other (play 1st song, play 2nd song, play 3rd song, play 1st song..) and so on.. I just need to know how to perform the check in DX7 when the song ends I''ve looked in functions, there is a function GetLength() or something like it, but it doesn''t work.. PLEASE HELP!!

Really lazy approach : Concatenate all the wav''s into one big chunky one, and have DirectSound loop it.
Use GetStatus() which will return the status of the passed DirectSound Buffer, when it returns a stop state increment some sort of song counter, load that song and play it, when it stops, increment the counter.... get the idea?
Good luck!
See ya,
