| Play MP3 Music SUMMARY: Besides displaying images and photos, IrfanView can also play MP3 songs.
Even though IrfanView is an image viewer and editor, with the right plugins it can also play your favorite MP3 tunes! Plus, IrfanView supports MP3 playlists created from tools such as WinAmp.
1. First, download the IrfanView plugins. You can either install all of them at once, or just install the "Mp3.dll" plugin found in "iv_mmedia.zip".
2. Restart IrfanView.
3. Click "File" - "Open".
4. Click the "Files of type" pull-down and select "MP3".
5. Select an MP3 file to load, either by browsing your hard drive or entering an Internet URL, and click "Open".
6. A new "IrfanView - MP3 Player" window will appear as your music plays. You can adjust the volume, stop, play, jump forward, jump backward, or skip between tunes as desired.
Note that a new window is open, you can continue to use IrfanView to view or edit image files while MP3 music plays.
7. If you wish to play many files, click the arrow pointing up and select multiple MP3 files. Or, you can select an M3U playlist such as those created by Winamp.
8. You can also create M3U playlists from the currently loaded files. These can be read by IrfanView and tools such as Winamp. Click the arrow pointing down and follow the prompts to create an M3U file.
9. Click the "Close" button when you are done playing music.
