About custom music

Hello guys. Is zdoom nor gzdoom support a cue that embedded in a .wav file?
Cuz I have a music that want to be looped from a specified time.

[wiki]Audio_loop[/wiki] may be helpful. Looks like it's only for OGG Vorbis and FLAC, both of which are acceptable alternatives to .wav.

Ah yes, I see some of my custom mus. is .ogg vorbis mus. They need to be set a LOOP_START and LOOP_END tag command in the file. Could you give me an example how to write those commands correctly without the tag being ignored by ZDoom nor GZDoom?

Any program that can set tags for MP3/OGG/FLAC can do it, just like editing Artist, Title, Track, Album, etc. Most audio editors, most music library managers, some media players, etc. Mp3tag is one such program which also works for OGG and FLAC. The way I understand it, you will need to define custom tags called LOOP_START and LOOP_END, and inside those tags you'll put the appropriate values as noted on the Wiki page.

I personally have not done this before so I'm not sure what problems you might run into. Read the manual/help for whatever tag-editing program you decide on, experiment with different values, etc.

Please consider using a compressed format before you upload your project!

Ok thanks for the info bro.
Btw I've already try to experiment it with my custom music (.ogg) that used Audio Loop looping method.

Maybe you can try my music on zdoom or gzdoom. Is it accurately looped?

[Oberron]

MOD music files work. I actually tried it. Yes, you can have music from Unreal (the 1998 game) if you want to, but I'm not gonna give you the music itself. Look for it yourself. Trust me.

This is how I did it for one OGG song in Reelism using Winamp's "View File Info" command:



The timecode was grabbed using an audio editor (Goldwave) and translates to Hours:Minutes:Seconds.Microseconds.

Personally, when I'm making a loop in Audacity, I just note where it starts in samples and toss that into the Metadata before exporting. Can't get a whole lot finer granularity than samples.

Cool, I didn't know LOOP_START/END accepts sample position as its value (I thought only time code was accepted), I can just drop a marker at the exact measure where the song repeats and my DAW can export the exact sample that the measure was on!
