I’m attempting to make background music that loops forever… However, I can’t manage to get the music looping. I tried searching on google but couldn’t find a good answer.

Hi @salty_pie  
If I am not wrong you are calling the function in it’s definition, that might cause your app to crash, I think a forever loop could work?

Hey @backscratcher2007

I tried doing that but it just made the music really laggy.

Does it play the music till the end? If not try wait(time of your music track).
