alanchow Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Best way is to convert to wav and use it as an announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a looped sound you want to 'listen' to, just add it to the system, make sure it's on it's owm 'album' or add it to a playlist then under the room desired, go to room, select Media - and choose that album or playlist.Want it in more than one room, after the first, find "Digital Media" in your system (auto added 'driver' , usually in a room with a controller) and select that first room, add rooms as you like.

Cyknight Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Gotcha.Easiest is to simply edit the MP3 to last quite long - say 15 minutes - 30 minutes.From there, create a playlist, and add that song to the playlist as many times as you need. <- this is why you want to edit that sound file to repeat itself internally or you're adding it a million times.

alanchow Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 You can actually program digital media to repeat in a room. Do this after the initial playback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
