Play Sound in a game..

hi,

i'm making the game battleship..and i have used the playsound function to include .wav files in my program...

for example...an explosion when a ship is hit, etc.

BUT i wanted to know how to use this function to have say a song play the entire duration of the program. I assume theres a way and it would just loop the song over and over again correct?

If someone can help me w/ this it would be great!

i use windows XP, and microsoft.net console applications in C++.

THANKS!

Vanished just asked this question a couple days ago.

i know this, i'm friends w/ vanished...my question is a little different..maybe i didnt' explain it enough..

i want to have say a song play throughout the whole program..and loop over and over. The problem is, there are other sounds that may interrupt this original sound.

What i need to know is if there is a way to still loop that song over and over and also have other sounds occur during that same time slot?

HELP!

Whats wrong with
play_sound(file,SND_SYNC) and
play_sound(songfile,SND_LOOP | SND_ASYNC)? The only problem with that I know is that play_sound only play .wav files.

Could you post how you're using PlaySound(); ???
You should be able to play a sound without intterupting
the other sound(s)
