**highlightsong** · 15th July 2008, 13:00

HI

im trying to play mp3(or other sound format except .wav) using QSound.

but when i looked a book about Qt,

it was written that only .wav file is available when use QSound in Windows.

so i wonder whether playing other sound format is possible or not.

plz help me

You can search for Phonon in Qt 4.4
There is also a media player example which probably plays mp3 files

But Phonon requires DirectX SDk installed if u are using windows. Be sure phonon is installed on ur system first

So I wonder about MY Qt

No, it is not possible to play MP3 files with QSound.

irrKlang currently plays back the following file formats:

* RIFF WAVE (*.wav)
* Ogg Vorbis (*.ogg)
* MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (*.mp3)[2]
* Amiga Modules (*.mod)
* Impulse Tracker (*.it)
* Scream Tracker 3 (*.s3d)
* Fast Tracker 2 (*.xm)

In addition, it is easily possible to extend the playable file formats using plugins. If you need irrKlang to playback a file format it doesn't support yet, just contact us and we can add it for you.

Very easy library from the author of 3D engine Irrlicht. It has free non commercial and commercial licenses. Downloaded, added and playing ogg files for 3minutes.
