C# Audio Tutorial 2 – MP3/WAV File with NAudio

In this short tutorial I’ll open and play an MP3 file using the NAudio class library in Visual Studio C#. This project builds upon tutorial 1 and extends the functionality to include loading audio compressed using the MP3 file format. I finish the goals of the tutorial so quickly that I continue on to explain how to load either MP3 or WAV files using NAudio.

Sample code and a demo wave file are available on my website. http://www.giawa.com/tutorials

Tutorial 3 will progress to converting MP3 format to PCM, and then writing the uncompressed PCM audio data to a wave file using NAudio.
