Play an mp3 file without displaying it on screen

[glad_ir]

Hello

I wonder if somebody could help me please. I am using the code below to play an mp3 file but it displays the mp3 file on screen (in front of the workbook). Is there a way to play the mp3 file without displaying it or to position it behind the workbook out of site?

CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute "C:\Users\gladwell_ir\OneDrive - Pfizer\Desktop\boat.mp3"

Any help much appreciated!

thanks,
Iain

This will play the MP3 (change to your path) in Windows Media Player in a hidden window

CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute "wmplayer.exe", "c:\hold\sample.mp3", , "open", 0
