How would I be able to include the facilities in which my program would be able to run .wav or .mpeg files?

Any program can play wave audio using PlaySound or the more complicated MCI fuctions. I don't know about MPEGs. (In Windows, that is.)

It depends on:
a) which operating system you're compiling for, and b) which compiler you are using. In some cases, you will need an external 3rd-person library such as Allegro. In other cases, namely if you're programming simply for the Windows API, you can just use built-in functions such as PlaySound. Mike [mnansgar@hotmail.com]

Im using the win32 api (win 9x), and using a standard ansi compiler
(ming32, cygnus) along with Borland's C++ Builder 4. This question is more in regards to active-x plugins, and the such.

BCB4 Includes a component that will play MPEGS, Mp3s and Almost any other format you could dream of.

Try Microsoft's DirectShow, (now) a component of DirectX 8.0 (standalone for earlier DX versions) - it makes it all simple [http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx].

If you want an example of using MCI to play wave files and display waveforms check out my wave editor under my homepage, portfolio section @ http://famousguy.cjb.net I did it as an assignment.
