Hi there,

Am I right in thinking that playing a music file whilst in a game loop isnt going to happen?

I have started an mp3 playing using playmusic, and then have entered a backbuffered loop with ONE drawing operation, to draw the mouse pointer. The result i get is like noise. Yes, the music is Definately outside the loop. If i delay the loop, it puts jumps into the track, playing X amount of song before scrambling each time the loop goes round.

Suggestions?

Thanx

Some Code might help me help you.

But if you play the music out side of the main loop

Erm, when I said "in a game loop" I didn't mean actually calling the playmusic command in a loop, that's mad. The issue comes from playing a music file, then entering a game loop in window mode.

Make the game full screen, and the problem goes away. Go figure. I have decided to do the game full screen now, as the music plays fine whilst the game is in motion.

Thanks Anyway,
