title: Is there a way to pause/stop a mp3 file playing with mcisendstring with the "wait" option?
body: <p>I am currently trying to create an mp3 player with the commands offered in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/31975785/4787510">this</a> answer.</p>
  
  <p>Actually it's working pretty great, but right now I am trying to implement a continuos play with </p>
  
  <pre><code>mciSendString("play mp3 wait", NULL, 0, NULL);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This command is supposed to play an mp3 file from start to finish and wait until it has actually finished playing.</p>
  
  <p>This is working correctly, however, I was convinced before trying it out, that pause or stop commands which work with usual play would work here as well:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mciSendString("pause mp3", NULL, 0, NULL);
  
  mciSendString("stop mp3", NULL, 0, NULL);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, every command seems to be unresponsive towards the running mp3.</p>
  
  <p>There are no error messages or anything, it just doesn't work the way I have it right now.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to accomplish this? Any additional parameters I would have to send with my pause/stop commands?</p>
