I'm not sure of something. Are you saving the MP3s as binary data in the
database? Or, are you just saving a filename (and maybe path) in the
database? It appears to be the latter. If so, are you sure the path and/or
filename of the MP3 is correct? Did you copy all the MP3 files to the
folder(s) as they are saved in the database?
Also, if all you need to do is play these, I wouldn't recommend using the
MCI control. You can use the Win32API to play them without the MCI control.
