Would like to know how to can I play music or any kind of sound using Windows API's?

Look up PlaySound(...);
and there are libraries like BASS and FMOD for mp3 and ogg playback.
just google them.

No, you don't need any library for MP3 (no external library on Windows, never) : everything is native in Win32

Hi,
I have started the coding of a multimedia player.
Untill now I have done little work, but it reproduces an audio or video file.
If you are interested, I can create a project in sourceforge an upload my code.
It uses directshow. It is really not difficult.
Tell me something.

Hi,
I think that you are not still interested in play a music file, but if someone want to view code to play a multimedia file, you can search in sourceforge my project joseplayer. It plays audio and video. Of course, with the executable there is the sourcecode. It uses only apis from windows.

I hope that this could be useful to someone.
