Background Music
Author
What is the best/fastest way of loading and playing(repeating) a background music in Directx ?
I have tryed directsound;
Has limitation for filetypes.. (only wav? no mp3)
AudioVideoPlayback (mp3, no repeat?)
DirectShow (havn't found out how to get this working/ Help?)
Or any other suggestions with little example?
I'm pretty sure you need a licence to play mp3 files. But on-topic I think the fastest would be just to load it straight through directSound. As all you need is basic background music. No listeners or anything.

Yes my point was that it can't play mp3 files because you need a licence (http://mp3licensing.com/help/).
Looking through FMOD ex and it does support mp3.

FMOD is indeed wonderful. Oh, and on the mp3thing...you only needa pay (a LOT) if you're gonna do more than 5000 copies.

I find Audiere in conjunction with ogg vorbis to be an excellent choice for sound and music playback.

Question here:
Do i need a 'licence' to use my OWN music in MP3 format in my games? O.o;;
If so, I'd rather switch to ogg.. ><

Ogg vorbis is easy to use anyway, the API is pretty simple and works nicely with DirectSound.
