Is there any way to tell if a music is still playing?

I wanna include this mp3 in my game that I cut to peaces for better loops (start.mp3, when its done playing loop.mp3 and once the game is over end.mp3).
I dont really wanna count down the time in the game, thats to unflexible...

With what are you playing MP3 files? I thought Fenix couldn't handle that.

"With what" does sound slightly odd to my ears. I'd prefer "What are you playing MP3 files with?"

Wherewith is a serious mindfuck though, that's a bit too old-English for me.

Technically clauses (and sentences) should never end with prepositions such as "with." It's kind of an outdated rule that sometimes results in weird-sounding sentences though and few people follow it to the letter anymore. Sandman eats such scofflaws for breakfast.

Guys, it really doesn't matter. As an Englishman "with what" would be percieved as slightly archaic, but people wouldn't care.

"With what" isn't archaic. Just because you have bad grammar. ;-P

"What are you using to play mp3 files?" would solve all this grammatical talk.

Would a DLL for wma files be possible?
I'm considering an idea to let the user chose their own music from their PC to be played in game, and as I use wma files mostly (their smaller for heigher bitrate) `twould be good to be able to play them in fenix.

That's pretty cool but also impossible.

Hahah.

WMAs universally have the worst quality out of the "major" audio media formats, and that's without touching the FUCK YOU DMA packed into it.

Using WMA is a mistake.

Really? I find no quality loss when I rip a CD into wma, and to rip the same CD into mp3 without quality loss, it takes up more disk space. If I ever need to convert it back, I have multiple programs that can do that quickly. How is it as mistake to use wma?

Some people don't notice the difference until it is pointed out to them. You might not notice the difference due to compensation on your audio equipment or having low quality speakers but in general listening to wma is like listening to a transistor radio in a bathroom.

I haven't heard any difference between mp3 and wma, but I don't like all the license shits in wma and wmv.
