− | + | '''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.
