4.5.1 Mix_LoadMUS

Mix_Music *Mix_LoadMUS(const char *file)

file

Name of music file to use.

Load music file to use. This can load WAVE, MOD, MIDI, OGG, MP3, and any file that you use a command to play with.
If you are using an external command to play the music, you must call Mix_SetMusicCMD before this, otherwise the internal players will be used. Alternatively, if you have set an external command up and don't want to use it, you must call Mix_SetMusicCMD(NULL) to use the built-in players again.

Returns: A pointer to a Mix_Music. NULL is returned on errors.

// load the MP3 file "music.mp3" to play as music Mix_Music *music; music=Mix_LoadMUS("music.mp3"); if(!music) { printf("Mix_LoadMUS(\"music.mp3\"): %s\n", Mix_GetError()); // this might be a critical error... }
