This is probably stupid, but since I'm completely new, I don't care.

Problem is that it doesn't open the files when i click open in the dialog.

I assume that opnMusic is a OpenFileDialog control. Well, ShowDialog() only displays the dialog box and returns a value, which says that you clicked OK or cancelled.

If you want to open a file with default program, then you need a Process class from System.Diagnostics namespace.
Process Class (System.Diagnostics)

//I write from memory so errors are possible.

using System.Diagnostics;


Process.Start(opnMusic.FileName);

Wow... I simply forgot adding that "using System.Diagnostics;".

Thanks for helping out even though it was such a simple matter... :)


If I then wanted to play song directly from my program, then how should I do that? I read something about needing a codec to read the data of the mp3 files, and then save the data in a variable, right? I just don't have any idea how I should start, or even what codec to use.

I wrote two tutorials for you. I hope they will come handy. :)
