Request Theme music transition

[Michael DiFilippo]

I suggest the theme music should be seemless between in and out of the initial menu and playable table screen(before starting game).
(going between tables, music obviously changes), but why does it have to repeat after pressing start on home menu? If when loading the table, to play, loads resources then i understand.

My guess:
when you're at the menu it is just a music file that is being played.
When you press start, the whole table is loaded, which in most cases mean the original table rom is loaded. The table (or the rom) is then the master of everything, including playing the music from the emulated roms and chipsets.
So it's not really possible to have seamless music.

Wrong, there's no attract music. The music is something which Farsight have placed over the top.

Yeah, the music actually stops when you press start the second time (after the table loaded)... so my first idea is obviously wrong.

I think the General forum thread has some further info about this. http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/949-Music-Overlap-on-Tables?highlight=music+overlap

It's also discussed in the Funhouse forum, which is where the "canned" attract music issue was first encountered. http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/863-Overlapping-music-tracks?highlight=music
