What you want to do is get a program to make midi's with. A decent, FREE program is Anvil Stuidio. I don't know of any others that are free.

You don't create it, you find it.

If you want to put a certain midi it would be:

usr << sound('nameofmidi.mid',1)

or if you want a player its:

mob/verb/PlayMusic(S as sound)
set category = "Misc"
world << "[S] is played by [src]."
world << sound(S)

Also this could help: http://developer.byond.com/hub/Sariat/Sound.

You see the find box where it has a search button if you type in 'Music player verb' it'd probly give you a music player verb.

Anyway i hope that helped answer your question.

Is there any way to upload music from your computer to it? Like say, Back in Black by AC/DC?

Edit: And where would i get Anvil Stuidio?

You can create your own MIDI files and wav files. All you need to create a wav file is a microphone, the windows sound recorder, and a real-world sound you're making to record. To make a MIDI file, you'll need a program that can make MIDIs. There are some free, and some non-free ones on the internet. For anything except simple MIDIs though, you'll probably need a piano or something.

You can't really take recorded sound or CD music and put it into a MIDI. A MIDI file is basically instructions telling the computer to play a certain pre-recorded instrument at a certain note. You'd probably want to use wavs instead, except that they can get pretty big.

Hell, I converted an MP3 to a wave. It went from 3MB to 32MB. WAVs are huge. So Then I tried just recording the MP3 into wav format. 30MB. -_-. SCREW J00 WAVs!
