_SNDSETPOS

The _SNDSETPOS statement changes the current/starting playing position in seconds of a sound.

Syntax

_SNDSETPOS handle&, position!

Description

• Changes the current/starting playing position in seconds (a SINGLE value) of a sound in memory.
• If position! is past the length of the sound, playback will be interrupted.
• Function cannot be called while a looping sound is being played (see _SNDLOOP).
• In versions prior to build 20170811/60, the sound identified by handle& must have been opened using the _SNDOPEN to use this statement.

Example(s)

To check the current playing position in an MP3 file, use _SNDPLAY with _SNDGETPOS printed in a loop

SoundFile& = _SNDOPEN("YourSoundFile.mp3") '<<< your MP3 sound file here!
_SNDSETPOS SoundFile&, 5.5   'set to play sound 5 1/2 seconds into music 
_SNDPLAY SoundFile&  'play sound 
Do: _LIMIT 60     
   LOCATE 5, 2: PRINT "Current play position> "; _SNDGETPOS(SoundFile&)
LOOP UNTIL _KEYDOWN(27) OR NOT _SNDPLAYING(SoundFile&) 'ESC or end of sound exit
