Music
I've been reading about programs to control music (start, stop, loop , etc) and I've only really messed with the mcisendstring functions.
It seems those functions want C-strings for commands though which makes me assume that it might not be the most up to date thing to use for C++.
Is there another music control interface thing I can learn that would be newer and more portable to linux or other types of OS's?
Does mcisendstring work on linux?

mciSendString is a component of the Windows API and is not inherently portable.
I would recommend looking into the libSndFile and RtAudio libraries for playing sound files. They're both portable across Windows, Mac OS, and Linuxes, and I have used them both in the past with good results.

Thanks for the recommendations.
edit.. I just wanted to say I decided to try out this library here after some research.
It's called FMOD and it seems to have a lot of support for many different OS's also.
