  Thank you for your help, however, this is a homework assignment and we are not allowed to use the media player.

  you should really stay away from using mciSendString and move on to newer better methods. Why don't you embed WMP into your application and use that to play your CD

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsmedia/downloads/default.aspx

  To do this, right click your toolbox > Choose Items > COM Component, Windows Media Player

  then drag and drop the component onto your form

  to play a file use the url to specify the path of the file

  you can also control the CD drive and play files via the ctlcontrols property and the next() method (previous to go back of course, stop() to stop and pause() to pause)
