Kevin, thanks for the information.  I'll look into MCISendString.

What puzzles me however is that it seems the app will play MP3 without
QuickTime in some situations - eg on a bog-standard PC running normal
Windows XP - but not in another - ie my target device running XP Embedded.
Can you shed any light on this?

(BTW this is quite a fun project, and Rev is performing splendidly well.  If
we make it out of prototype and into deployment, I look forward to giving
Rod a case study.)

Cheers,
