Use GreenfootSound.playLoop(). Like this: GreenfootSound backgroundMusic = new GreenfootSound("your sound file path"); backgroundMusic.playLoop();

Do I add that in the world as its own method or do I just put it in? Thanks though :)

It is probably better to put the first line in as a world instance variable and put the second one in the constructor of the world.

"Unclosed string literal" what does this mean?

It means you used a double quote somewhere, but did not have a matching one.

add this into the world class:
?
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
public void stopped()
    {
      bg.setVolume(0);  //change bg to what you declared the file as
    }
    public void started()
    {
       bg.setVolume(100);    //change bg to what you declared the file as
    }

What tylers is saying will set the volume to 0 and to the maximum again, but to really pause it, do this:
?
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
public void stopped()
{
     bg.pause();
}
 
public void started()
{
    bg.playLoop();
}
This will pause the music, and let it play again when the world is started. I hope this helps.

No, just Frogger.mp3 Why would you add .code to it?
