Basic Music Player Application in C

Introduction

This basic music player application is written in the C programming language. The objective of the project is to demonstrate how to create a simple, functional music player using C. The program allows the user to select and play an audio file from the system. While this example may not include advanced features like playlists, advanced UI, or real-time audio processing, it lays the groundwork for creating more complex music player applications.

Objective

The main goal of this project is to:

• Understand the basic concept of a music player.
• Learn how to interact with audio files programmatically.
• Implement simple file I/O operations and audio handling in C.

Code

// Function to play the audio file using system’s default player
void playMusic(const char* filename) {
char command[100];

// Format the command to open the audio file with the system’s default audio player
sprintf(command, “start %s”, filename); // For Windows
// sprintf(command, “open %s”, filename); // For MacOS
// sprintf(command, “xdg-open %s”, filename); // For Linux
