' Declare the following API Declare Function mciSendString& Lib "MMSYSTEM" (ByVal lpstrCommand$,ByVal lpstrReturnStr As Any, ByVal wReturnLen%, ByVal hCallBack%) 
'Add the code below to appropriate routines 
Sub cmdPlay_Click ()   Dim lRet As Long   Dim nCurrentTrack As Integer 
  'Open the device   lRet = mciSendString("open cdaudio alias cd wait", 0&, 0, 0) 
  'Set the time format to Tracks (default is milliseconds)   lRet = mciSendString("set cd time format tmsf", 0&, 0, 0) 
  'Then to play from the beginning   lRet = mciSendString("play cd", 0&, 0, 0) 
  'Or to play from a specific track, say track 4   nCurrentTrack = 4   lRet = mciSendString("play cd from" & Str(nCurrentTrack), 0&, 0, 0) 
End Sub   
' Remember to Close the device when ending playback 
Sub cmdStop_Click ()   Dim lRet As Long 
  'Stop the playback   lRet = mciSendString("stop cd wait", 0&, 0, 0) 
  DoEvents  'Let Windows process the event 
  'Close the device   lRet = mciSendString("close cd", 0&, 0, 0) 
End Sub
