<h2 id="load_MUS">load_MUS</h2>
<div id="load_MUS_CONTENT">
<pre> my $music = SDL::Mixer::Music::load_MUS( $file );

</pre>
<p><code>load_MUS</code> loads a music file into a <code>SDL::Mixer::MixMusic</code> structure. This can be passed to <a href="/SDL-Mixer-Music.html#play_music">play_music</a>.</p>

</div>
<h2 id="hook_music">hook_music</h2>
<div id="hook_music_CONTENT">
<pre> SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music( $callback, $position );

</pre>
<p>This sets up a custom music player function, so you can pass your own audio stream data into the SDL::Mixer.
The function will be called with <code>position</code> passed into the first parameter when the <code>callback</code> is called.
The audio stream buffer has to be filled with length bytes of music (2nd parameter).
The music player will then be called automatically when the mixer needs it. Music playing will start as soon as this is called. 
All the music playing and stopping functions have no effect on music after this. Pause and resume will work. 
Using a custom music player and the internal music player is not possible, the custom music player takes priority. </p>
<p>To stop the custom music player call <code>hook_music()</code> without arguments.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: NEVER call <code>SDL::Mixer</code> functions, nor <a href="/SDL-Audio.html#lock">SDL::Audio::lock</a>, from a callback function.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: At program termination also call <code>SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music()</code> to stop this callback.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> sub callback
 {
     my $position = shift; # position (first time its 0, on each call $length is added)
     my $length   = shift; # length of bytes we have to put in stream
     my @stream   = '';

     printf(&quot;position=%8d, stream length=%6d\n&quot;, $position, $length);

     for(my $i = 0; $i &lt; $length; $i++)
     {
         push(@stream, (($i + $position) &amp; 0xFF));
     }

     return @stream;
 }

 SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music( 'main::callback', 0 );

</div>
<h2 id="hook_music_finished">hook_music_finished</h2>
<div id="hook_music_finished_CONTENT">
<pre> SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music_finished( 'main::callback' );

</pre>
<p>This callback is called when music called by e.g. <a href="/SDL-Mixer-Music.html#play_music">SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music</a> or 
<a href="/SDL-Mixer-Music.html#fade_in_music">SDL::Mixer::Music::fade_in_music</a> stops naturally. 
This happens when the music is over or is fading out.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: If you play music via <a href="/SDL-Mixer-Music.html#hook_music">SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music</a>, this callback will never be called.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> my $music_is_playing = 0;
 my @music            = qw(first.mp3 next.mp3 other.mp3 last.mp3);
 sub callback
 {
     $music_is_playing = 0;
 }

 SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music_finished( 'main::callback' );

 foreach my $this_song ( @music )
 {
     SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music( $this_song, 0 );
     $music_is_playing = 1;

     SDL::delay( 100 ) while( $music_is_playing );
 }

<h2 id="get_music_hook_data">get_music_hook_data</h2>
<div id="get_music_hook_data_CONTENT">
<pre> my $position = SDL::Mixer::Music::get_music_hook_data();

</pre>
<p>Returns the <code>position</code> (first) parameter that will be passed to <a href="/SDL-Mixer-Music.html#hook_music">SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music</a>'s callback.</p>

</div>
<h2 id="play_music">play_music</h2>
<div id="play_music_CONTENT">
<pre> my $play_music = SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music( $mix_music, $loops );

</pre>
<p><code>play_music</code> plays a given <code>SDL::Mixer::MixMusic</code>.
Passing -1 to <code>$loops</code> will loop the music infinitely. </p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> my $music = SDL::Mixer::Music::load_MUS( 'music.mp3' );

 unless(SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music($sample_music, -1))
 {
     print(&quot;Something went wrong!\n&quot;);

<pre> my $music = SDL::Mixer::Music::fade_in_music( $mix_music, $loops, $ms );

</pre>
<p>Same as <a href="/SDL-Mixer-Music.html#play_music">SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music</a> but you can specify the fade-in time by <code>$ms</code>.</p>

</div>
<h2 id="fade_out_music">fade_out_music</h2>
<div id="fade_out_music_CONTENT">
<pre> my $fading_music = SDL::Mixer::Music::fade_out_music( $ms );

</pre>
<p><code>fade_out_music</code> fades out the music with a duration specified in <code>ms</code> in milliseconds.</p>
<p>Returns the the number of channels that will be faded out.</p>

</div>
<h2 id="fading_music">fading_music</h2>
<div id="fading_music_CONTENT">
<pre> my $fading_music = SDL::Mixer::Music::fading_music();

<p>Returns one of the following:</p>

<h2 id="volume_music">volume_music</h2>
<div id="volume_music_CONTENT">
<pre> my $volume_before = SDL::Mixer::Music::volume_music( $new_volume );

</pre>
<p><code>volume_music</code> set the volume in <code>$new_volume</code> and returns the volume that was set before.
Passing <code>-1</code> as argument causes only to return the current volume.</p>
<p>Volume is between <code>0</code> (silence) and <code>MIX_MAX_VOLUME = 128</code>.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> # set the music volume to 1/2 maximum, and then check it
 printf( &quot;volume was    : %d\n&quot;, SDL::Mixer::Music::volume_music( MIX_MAX_VOLUME / 2 ) );

<h2 id="set_music_position">set_music_position</h2>
<div id="set_music_position_CONTENT">
<pre> SDL::Mixer::Music::set_music_position( $position );

</pre>
<p>Set the position of the currently playing music. The position takes different meanings for different music sources. It only works on the 
music sources listed below.</p>
<dl>
	<dt>MOD</dt>
	<dd>
		<p>The double is cast to Uint16 and used for a pattern number in the module.
Passing zero is similar to rewinding the song. </p>
	</dd>
	<dt>OGG</dt>
	<dd>
		<p>Jumps to position seconds from the beginning of the song. </p>
	</dd>
	<dt>MP3</dt>
	<dd>
		<p>Jumps to position seconds from the current position in the stream.
So you may want to call <a href="/SDL-Mixer-Music.html#rewind_music">SDL::Mixer::Music::rewind_music</a> before this.
Does not go in reverse... negative values do nothing. </p>
	</dd>
</dl>
<p>Returns: <code>0</code> on success, or <code>-1</code> if the codec doesn't support this function. </p>

</pre>
<p>Returns <code>1</code> if the music is playing sound, otherwise <code>0</code>. It does'nt check if the music is paused.</p>
