FMOD is a wrapper that allows working with Firelight Technologies FMOD libraries.
These libraries support many audio file types including MP3, OGG, WAV and more.
The FMOD libraries can be used for free for noncommercial applications.
Before using these features you will need to download FMOD 3.75 Programmers API.
For the desktop download the Windows32 bit version and for the device download
Windows CE version (version 3.75).
Make sure to download FMOD 3 Programmers API version.
Inside the zip file, find fmod.dll (desktop) or fmodce.dll (device).
Copy the file to Basic4ppc folder.
On the desktop it is usually: c:\program files\Anywhere Software\Basic4ppc Desktop
On the device: \program files\Basic4ppc
When distributing your applications, this file should be copied together with the compiled
file and the FMODDevice.dll or FMODDesktop.dll.
Example:
'Add an FMOD object named fmod first.
Sub Globals
End Sub
Sub App_Start
form1.show
fmod.New1
if OpenDialog1.Show <> cCancel then
fmod.Play(OpenDialog1.File)
end if
End Sub
