Seeking with an MP3 file

I was wondering if anyone knew how to seek to a specific MM:SS:FF of an MP3 file to play from the specific seek point. Additionally is there any way to represent the loaded MP3 as visual data that I could mark points on based on Seek info (if that last bit makes sense?? hehe)

Thx in advance

For the represetation of amplitudes you may try the Bass DLL. Seeking MM:SS:FF may be possible with MCI sendstring (as seen in the code archives / userlibs)
Not so easy. Personally I would rather use a commandline tool, run it hidden, that will convert the MP3 to uncompressed WAV, then decode the wav to a bank (see archives: reverse wav) and accurrately access the amplitudes.
