hello, im having a program with getting playmusic(filename$) to work

Is there a reason to why or has anyone had this problem before..?

muiscbg = playemusic(filename$) is what im doing..

well, apart from the spelling "playemusic....", instead
for background sound try this...use your own wav file of course!!! :

MusicBG=LoadSound("windy.wav")
LoopSound MusicBG
PlaySound MusicBG

This came up a few days ago in the beginners forum!

.mid should be supported according to the docs:

PlayMusic (filename$)
Parameters:
filename$ - name of music file. Formats supported: raw/mod/s3m/xm/it/mid/rmi/wav/mp2/mp3/ogg/wma/asf

It might be your soundcard / drivers that don't work properly?

If you've got 3d music setup (createlistener, etc) - PlayMusic only plays the music around world center 0,0,0 - if I'm not mistaken. If it's not PlayMusic, it's one of the other ones :(

hope this helps,
