Chris,
I wrote a jukebox program for my ArcadePC cabinet using Visual Basic. I chose to use Winamp as the MP3 player. It makes it so easy because I didn't have to program the queue routine. I just clear a playlist and add files to it. Then, the created playlist becomes the queue. There is a Winamp.ocx on the Winamp site. It lets you control all of the major Winamp functions from your VB program. I've only tested it on a few machines running Windows 98SE. My friends and family love it.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Dan
