Programming with Quicktime in MacOS

[cchen]

I'm doing a software design project on MacOS that requires that play of mp3s. I decided to use Quicktime since it's fairly easy to implement. One problem with using quicktime is that I am unable to run the music in the background. What will happen is that quicktime will play the music and won't let anything else run...


IS the only solution to this problem to use threads?

Anyone know how I can get the music to run in the background?

use thread or fork off anohter process

does fork work on the mac? I read that it only works on windows systems or linux...
