PlayMusic -Documentation by Holo-


PlayMusic("mp3");


Plays the given mp3.


Arguments


("mp3")
mp3
String - This is the complete path to an mp3. It is relative to your World of Warcraft\Data sub-folder!

Example


PlayMusic("Sound\\Music\\GlueScreenMusic\\wow_main_theme.mp3");
PlayMusic("website.com");

Details


This function plays the given music file (file format has to be mp3, I think. I have not tried others.) You cannot pause the playback. You can stop it with StopMusic.
If any of the built-in music is playing when you call this function (e.g. Stormwind background music), it will fade out.
The file you specified will loop until you call StopMusic.
This Function can be used with website url's such as those used by Internet Radio Stations.
(Not verified): since World of Warcraft uses the FMOD sound engine, it is very likely that other file formats than mp3 are supported. For example OggVorbis (.ogg).
