Using system() to open a *.mp3 file

Fatal Exception (15)
I am using to the system() command to open a *.mp3 file I have but when it runs it is run using Windows Media Player so the window pops up in the middle of the screen. Is there any way to keep it minimized?

system("cd C:\Dev-Cpp\8th Grade Project");
system("start SoundTrack.mp3");
getch();

Did you look at the help for START?
It shows a /MIN option.


D:\start /?
Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
[/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
[parameters]


So, the following should work:
 
system("start /MIN SoundTrack.mp3");

I am still having the same problem D: It doesn't seem to have any effect.
