Plays the given mp3 file.
PlayMusic(soundFile);
Parameters
Arguments
- soundFile
- String - path to a MP3 file, relative to your World of Warcraft\Data folder.
Example
PlayMusic("Sound\\Music\\GlueScreenMusic\\wow_main_theme.mp3");
Result
Current music fades out, login music plays.
Notes
- You cannot pause the playback.
- 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).
