from the manaul in the 'Music and Sound' section
------------
When the game loads, music 0 will be played if it exists in the game directory.
------------

also, a search on the forums would yeild such results.
any other questions? :)

I to had this very same problem and people kept telling me "It plays Music 0 on room load and stuff like that!"  But I know what your REALLY asking...  You need to save your music and sound effects files in the Compiled folder of your game!!!  I cannot believe the manual doesn't tell you that! But it DOESN'T !!!

So, save your music and sound effects in the Compiled folder okay...
Label them MUSIC1, MUSIC2, SOUND1, etc.

Music and sound files DON'T go into the compiled folder, unless you use the PlayMP3File function.

Put all files into the main game folder and the following will happen:

Sounds
will automatically be included into the game.exe

Speech
speech.vox will be created in compiled folder (optional speech pack)

Music
MIDI/MOD/XM/S3M will automatically be included into the game.exe.
MP3 and OGG: music.vox will be created in the compiled folder (optional music pack)

Edit:

Videos
FLI/FLC: will automatically be included into the game.exe
AVI or MPG: have to be put in the compiled folder
