Does anyone have or know where I can find some music files that I could use for my programs? ???

You can use the shell command to run other programs that play the music for you. You can also use basic tunes from qbasic directly. In a program for learning, mainly vocabulary, I describe at http://wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Get-back-world-respect and that is discussed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk: ... ld-respect
you can see examples of it, it uses winamp. There is also a download for the learning project.

What kind of programs? Where can I download them? Can they play midi files

Just check the page

The external programs you can use are described there, there are links to where you can download them, the audio program does support midi files, and there is a qbasic code downloadable you can use to see how to program it.

Here's where to get what's what in the QB world..

...and just click on FILES...

Almost everything you could ever want for QB is here.


It sounds like you want DS4QB++ though. If you can't get it going from the example files...email me, or goto...

...and post in the programming help section.

Thank you all for your suggestions...while im on the subject...how could you get programmable audio streams to come out of attached speakers?  This could be hard but could possibly open up a path for multiple audio streaming in QBasic.

Download DS4QB++ from Piptol's site and start messing with it. Make sure you read the manual and stuff though. ;D
