Code:
area/teleport/Ezerath/EnterEzeratht
    Enter(mob/M)
        if(ismob(M) && M.client)
            M.client.edge_limit = "[1],[1] to [37],[37]"
        M.loc = locate(19,10,4)
        M << sound('music/dq5-town1.mid',1)
        M.Sound = null
        M.Sound = 'music/dq5-town1.mid'

area/teleport/Ezerath/ExitEzeratht
    Enter(mob/M)
        if(ismob(M) && M.client)
            M.client.edge_limit = null
        M.loc = locate(24,22,1)
        M << sound('music/dq6-world1.mid',1)


Problem description:

The sounds are suddenly overlapping. Now, i believe this is caused by the Byond Beta Version # but i don't understand how to stop the sounds from constantly overlapping and making a mix of completely annoying sounds.

This is happening because you didn't specify what channel to play it in, so it selects a free channel that's not in use. To fix it, specify a channel to play the sounds in.

M << sound('music/dq5-town1.mid', 1, channel=5)

M << sound(wait) before the sounds.

do i have to specify to stop playing the other channel? or does this switch the usr's channel to the new one and leaves the old one automatically?

You don't have to, since when you play a sound in a specific channel when there is one already playing in that channel, it will automatically end that sound, and play the new sound.

i changed my code so its more like...

area/teleport/Ezerath/JailEn
    Enter(mob/M)
        if(ismob(M) && M.client)
            M.client.edge_limit = "[45],[1] to [74],[14]"
        M.loc = locate(48,10,3)
        M << sound('music/dq6-flute.mid',1,channel=7)
        M.Sound = 'music/dq6-flute.mid'

area/teleport/Ezerath/JailEx
    Enter(mob/M)
        if(ismob(M) && M.client)
            M.client.edge_limit = "[120],[1] to [150],[40]"
        M.loc = locate(125,32,3)
        M << sound('music/dq6-castle1.mid',1,channel=6)
        M.Sound = 'music/dq6-castle1.mid'


but the sounds still overlap

Because they're still set on different channels, so they'll play at the same time.

You want them to be on the same channel, so they'll interrupt each other. You want channel=# to both have the same #.

Each client tracks that channel indipendantly. It will only change what they hear on that channel when you send a new sound instruction to them.

Let's say you use use channel 7 for all your songs and play an intro song on chan 7 for players when they log in. You can play battle music to player 3 on channel 7 without changing what the other players hear. When player 4 logs in and begins the start music, player 3 will still be enjoying his battle theme.
