background sound throughout block

Hi (again),

Another question from the n00b: How can I get a sound file to play continuously in the background throughout a block of test items?

Eternally grateful for the help,
Freddie

Thank you! That was actually easy; I got it working on the first try!

You use the respective <block>'s /bgstim attribute to do this:

<block someblock>
/ bgstim = (backgroundmusic)
/ trials = [....]
...
</block>

with

<video backgroundmusic>
/ items = ("somemusic.mp3")
...
</video>
