      I haven't search CP to see anything exist but in addition to that you can import Windows Media Player ActiveX in your project and use it. Mazy "A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it." - Bob Hope

          RealAudio streams use a proprietary format and require that you have an ActiveX control to play them. RealPlayer has an ActiveX control that you typically find in web pages. If you right-click on the Toolbox in VS.NET and customize, you should see the RealPlayer ActiveX control (or something like that) if you have it installed. When you deploy your application, you must make sure that the clients have RealPlayer installed and that you also ship the interop assemblies that are created when you create the RCW (runtime callable wrapper) for RealPlayer.

              Yes. It's often embedded into web pages just like Windows Media Player. You can use this in Windows Forms applications as well.
