Need to tell it that your midi file is a file, not a variable.

So instead of City Music.mid, write 'City Music.mid'.

How does one listen to an icon, anyway?

You've that code some where else, you only should have it once, normally I place sound triggers under area/
I don't give it an icon, and use Entered(), and Exited() to turn it on and off.

area/Music1
Entered(mob/M as mob)
M << sound('MyMusic.mid')
Exited(mob/M as mob)
M << sound(null)

Then you just place this on the map as an invisiable layer. But I'd expand this and make 2 areas, 1 for Entered and 1 for Exited. That way you it doesn' restart as soon as u leave that tile.
