This sample is HORRIBLE. Besides the fact that it crashes under several circumstances, it is a great example of spaghetti code at its worst. Oh well.<br />

The ACM isn't as difficult to use as it may seem. I was able to do what you're trying to do with little effort, making use of the docs available in win32 sdk.<br />

The ACMAPP sample is too complex to your question.<br />
<br />
There is a more simple program in MSDN, &quot;conv&quot;, which can compress a PCM format audio to TrueSpeech format.<br />

Actually, I ended up using the Windows Media SDK to make a WAV to WMA compressor. The only problem is the inability to edit &quot;tag&quot; information after the WMA file is made. I'll have to look at that example, though, because I was looking into possibly doing MP3 compression in a WindowsCE device. Thanks.

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
