PlayMusic only loads one song at a time. And using PlaySound to play music uncompress the whole file to memory (not nice to have a 3Mb MP3 expanded into 30Mb of RAM)
With this lib you can have several MP3s opened at the same time, play every one of them when you want, without having to load all of them at once, and without stopping your program until the file finished loading.
Just try the sample, you'll see. It's not something that could be done with PlaySound/PlayMusic, otherwise I wouldnt even waste any time coding this.
