How I can play audio in C# console application?

Question

I would like to know if it possible just play some kind of audio file in C# Console Application.

I don't find any answer on this question.

Many Thanks

Which version of .NET are you using? What type of audio file are you trying to play (what is the extension? .wav? .mp3?) I'll try to help. — james, May 26 '19 at 15:55
One more question. Where do you want this to run? On a Windows computer, mac, or linux? — james, May 26 '19 at 15:59
I am trying to play MP3 on Windows computer. It should be just console application. Thanks — Pete Zíťák, May 26 '19 at 16:42

In command prompt you can play an audio file by typing it's name from location folder:

c:\my_Music>track1.mp3

This opens the file with the format's associated progam so there will be a pop-up of an external program. Set program by using right-click on a file and choose "Open With".

I've not tested this in a console app. But you should be able to type a String into the console app and then trigger an ENTER press event.

Option 2:

Use SoundPlayer class. A good tutorial for beginners.
