Playing Media File with C

Hii can anyone tell me how to play a media file with C, i mean suppose i have a mp3 format file stored in my character is there any way to play that media file by C???

 

or if you can tell me how to play the file in DOS that may help too

 

from internet i got this code but it's not compiling in my compiler

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
PlaySound("windowsding.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME|SND_LOOP);
  return 0;
}

PlaySound function does not exist in my compiler
