Has anyone else had a problem with the "loop music" command? It simply didn't work for me. I've tried the music as an MP3, WAV and WMA and it refused to play it again. The songs appeared to be fine too. I even added a loop to check if the track was playing then play it again if it wasn't, but that still didn't work.

In the end I wrote my own "jukebox" routine anyway to read and monitor the lengths of the songs as it allows me to load and play a new track when one ends, but it was just wondering if I'm just being really stupid???

I remember I raised this issue before and I agree with you but I don't know why it works on the mp3 files that are supplied by the DBpro game studio.

I use loop music at numerous points in my game with no troubles... Are you running the latest version of DBP?

If memory serves, you need to have a 'SYNC' command in you main loop, that will update the music playing command.

Yeah, it's the latest update off here, but it doesn't work. Song ends, then nothing. Tried putting in a "if music playing (1)=0 then play music 1" check too - still nothing no matter what format I encoded it to. No idea.

Anyway thanks for the suggestions, but I wrote my own routine anyway, lets me choose another random track, load it, then commence right away. Working really well.
