Song Looping

[eXo]

Is it possible to disable song looping when you have music playing in an emulator menu. I have the SMB theme song from the old cartoon play in my nintendo emulation menu, but then it just keeps repeating... and repeating... gets old fast.

Also - it continues playing once I drop back to the main menu. only way it stops is if I go into an emulator menu that has a different song defined.

it would be really great to be able to "confine" songs to a particular menu.

Edit it in an audio editor and add a couple of hours of silence after it.....

only joking....

i have no idea!

I was going to suggest combining it with another song and/or silence in an editor, but greatfish already suggested it...

Ya, I suppose that is one way to handle it. Although I'm interested in knowing if there is much demand for this, or if I'm the only guy who cares. It would be really nice to simply have a toggle in the config as to whether or not I want looping on.

Also - adding the silence doesn't solve the problem of the song playing even when i back out to the main menu. To me, the entire point of having a song play when you enter a menu is because you want it associated with it. having it play even after you back out sort of defeats that. So a toggle to confine the song to the emulator menu it is called by would be really clean.

I was close to what they said, I was going to suggest a moment of silence to be played in the emulators that don't have tracks. That way it would just loop through that. (or you could just put a set of noise canceling headsets on your monkey)

I do think it's a good Idea, and you should post in feature request's.

a blank mp3 is a great idea for the ones that don't have songs. Although i'm not sure I can define one for the main menu. So while it would sotp songs from bleeding into emulators, it wouldnt keep them off the main menu. feature request it is!

If you spend a little editing time, I bet you can get a perfect loop that sounds fabu! Maybe I should work on that...

For me its just a matter of having a quick song (typically from a cartoon or commercial based on a major game in that emulator) playing when you enter a menu. While a clean loop isn't a bad idea, it would still get annoying hearing the super mario bros theme song over and over and over.
