I am trying to master my win32 api skills so I will try to make a skinnable audio player. For this project I will get some experience in making custom regions and skins. I would like to hear your suggestions about which library to use to play audio files. That library needs to play wma, cda( not necessary) and mp3 ( also read the mp3 tags ). So, is there any good free library for this propose?

What lang you using? C++? Most likley, well if you used C#, it would be a breeze...

I don't have neither the skills( don't know nothing about direct sound or whatever it is used to build a sound library) neither I have time to debug it, because I want to concentrate on the GUI of the program.

To bad that fmod C++ interface doesn't support minGW. I have to use the old C interface
