create a file called music.lua and add this to it

function startMusic() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
    song = playSound("music.mp3",true) 
  
end 
  
function makeRadioStayOff() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
    cancelEvent() 
end 
  
function toggleSong() 
    if not songOff then 
        setSoundVolume(song,0) 
        songOff = true 
        removeEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
    else 
        setSoundVolume(song,1) 
        songOff = false 
        setRadioChannel(0) 
        addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),startMusic) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVehicleEnter",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
addCommandHandler("mkmap1_racetheme",toggleSong) 
bindKey("m","down","mkmap1_racetheme") 

Place your music file in the same folder as the map and call it music.mp3. Next you need to add these 2 lines into the meta:

  
<file src="music.mp3"></file> 
<script src="music.lua" type="client"></script> 

Then you're done

I did the same but i can't here the song when i'm playing the map at map editor is that normal ?

It should work in the map editor too. Are you sure the music file is in mp3 format and placed inside the map folder? If so then there may be a syntax error. Open up the debugstring with /debugscript 3 and see if the resource loaded correctly.

the file you said i should name it music.lua i made it as text document and copy same code and added the 2 lines inside meta after i opened it as a notepad and i'm sure the the music file inside my map folder and named it music.mp3

well here is a better choice create a speaker anywhere and it will play the song.

Client

function onResourceStart() 
    local sound = playSound3D("song.mp3",X,Y,Z, true)  
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), onResourceStart) 

Server

createObject ( 2232, 2495.1, -1689.9, 17.2, 0, 2, 182 ) 

create same file of the music .mp3 or whatever

In what way is that a better way of doing it? It is miles worse, that created a sound element in a 3D Environment. Only people close to it will be able to hear it unless you use setSoundMaxDistance. Which is a big inconvenience if you want the song to play for everyone when the map is being played.

I made a improved music script for maps a while ago, I'll see if I still have it around. I'll edit this reply if I do.

Edit:

Found it, copy and paste this to a file. You can name it whatever you want. I would suggest "Music.mp3" to simplify things.

If you need any help to make changes to it, don't hesitate to ask me. I'd be glad to help! Make sure you name the music file to the same as the script or the other way around. Also remember that it is case-sensitive!
