im having trouble doing this, it either repeats when clicking new,load,or delete and the song overlays or everyone hears it when someone logs in
code is 
mob/Login()
    src<<sound("Bleach2.wma",0)
    src.loc = locate(9,9,1)
    src.client.view=8

I'm going to assume that your login system uses two types of mobs, one for performing the login process and one for playing the game. mob/Login() is called every time a client connects to a mob, which means that each player hears the WMA file upon initially connecting to the server, and again after fully logging in.

As such, the solution is quite easy -- client/New() is called exactly once when the player first connects to the server, and seems like it would be a terrific place to play music for a login screen.

You might also want to investigate the sound datum's channel var, so you can have an easier time stopping the play of login music later.

Don't post the same topic in two different forums. Stick to the Code Problems one, since this isn't really a How-To question. You already have working code, but it's not quite right, so this is a code problem, not a how to problem.
