Like I mentioned in a previous post, declares+libmikmod wouldn't be too difficult to get going. I realize you're a relative newbie but that could be a good learning exercise :)

Then again, if you grab my FMOD Wrappers: <http://developer.chaoticbox.com/> it can be as simple as this (error checking aside):

        f = GetFolderItem("mymusic.mod")
        myMusic = f.OpenAsFMODmusic
        myMusic.Play

Full documentation is available online: <http://developer.chaoticbox.com/documentation/fmodwrappers/>, check out the "Installation & Quickstart" and "FMODmusic Class" sections for more info.

Of course, you have to make sure FMOD's licensing fits your needs, but it's free for freeware, and I personally find the shareware licenses to be extremely reasonable, considering you get the same audio engine used in the likes of World of Warcraft and FarCry.

But, when I try to run the program, I get this error:

        Application Launch Failure:
The application "My Application" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "<main><main><fmod><>"

You might want to read over the "Installation & Quickstart" part of the manual again.... You haven't installed FMOD - go to <http://fmod.org/> and download the appropriate package for your platform. Grab the shared library or DLL and put it in the same directory as your REALbasic project.

I did actually, I run Mac OS X, so I put the Shared Library (fmod_cfm.shlb) into the same folder as my project file. That's why I was wondering what was wrong because I have done everything according to the manual so far.
