− | + | '''Playing music''' in mIRC is really a very simple process, easily accomplished through the use of the [[/splay command - mIRC|/splay command]]. mIRC can also be enhanced by other sounds, not just songs, as well. Depending on how you want your own, custom mIRC experience to be, whether you are a newbie or an advanced scripter, sounds are often added to events in mIRC by some scripters. Creating games in mIRC is an advanced type of script where sounds can greatly enhance a user's experience. | |

In order for you to be able to play music or any other type of sound in mIRC, you must first enable sounds. Sounds can be enabled simply by going to the options dialog (Alt+O), then clicking on the 'Sounds' option in the left-hand side list, and then placing a check mark into the ''Enable Sounds''. Below is a screenshot of the options window with the ''Enable Sounds'' option ticked. | In order for you to be able to play music or any other type of sound in mIRC, you must first enable sounds.

− | Multiple file formats can be played at the same time | + | Multiple file formats can be played at the same time, but you '''cannot''' play multiple files, of the same format, at the same time. For instance, you can play a ''.wav'' file at the same time as an ''.mp3'' file, but you cannot play a ''.wav'' file and another ''.wav'' file at the same time. The second ''.wav'' file will take precedence if you're not queuing the file: the first ''.wav'' file will be stopped and the second one then played. |

− | * | + | * -wmp - Indicates that the function (only Stop or Skip can be used with those) will be done on the specified format that are playing where -w indicated a WAVE format, -m a MIDI format (-m), and/or mp3 (-p) file that is currently playing. You can specify more than one switch at the same time for Stop but not for Skip. |
− | + | * -q - Adds the file to a queue for that format, first file in the queue for that format is played when a song of that format ends its playback. | |
− | + | * [filename] - The file name for the mIRC file. | |
− | + | * [stop|pause|resume|seek|skip] - Allows further control over existing playing file; their titles are their respective functions. These are discussed, in more detail, further down. | |
− | + | * [pos] - This optional parameter is used to point out the location in the music file, in milliseconds, for your sound to either start from or seek. | |

If you have only one format being used (only one queue) you can ommit the -wmp switches, and if you provide a list of switch that is invalid for Skip (for example specifying -wp), mIRC will skip the format that has been used in first to play the file (the oldests playing file) | ||

+ | * Resume - <code>/splay resume</code> allows you to resume the paused music file. | ||

+ | * Skip - <code>/splay skip</code> allows you to skip the currently playing music file. | ||
− | + | Using <code>-w,-m, or -p</code> will allow you to use the file type switches to control only specific kinds of files. For example: <source lang="mIRC">/splay -w stop</source> will stop only the ''.wav'' file that is currently playing. | |
