BlitzPlus Docs -> 2D - A-Z -> P -> PlayCDTrack

PlayCDTrack( track,[mode] )

Parameters:

track = track number to play
mode = 1; play track once, 2; loop track, 3; play track to end of CD

Description:

Plays a CD track and returns a sound channel.

The optional mode parameter allows variations of playback. Remember, the playback happens through the CD cable inside the computer that attaches to the sound card. Many computers (for some reason), don't have this cable inside properly attached. If this is the case, you will NOT hear CD sound even though you hear other sound effects and music.

Example:

; PlayCDTrack example

; Get a track to play from user
track=Input$("Enter a CD track number to play:")

; Play the track, assign a channel - just play once
chnCD=PlayCDTrack(track,1)

; Figure out what time it is now
oldTime=MilliSecs()
; Play until the channel is over or ESC
While ChannelPlaying(chnCD) And (Not KeyHit(1))
; clear and print the time elapsed
Cls 
Locate 0,0
Print "Time Elapsed (sec):" + ((MilliSecs()-oldTime)/1000)
Wend

; Stop the channel
StopChannel chnCD

What I always missed in the version of Blitz I have is a command that detects how many audio tracks a CD actually has...
