Setting the “IsLooped” property before calling Play configures the instance as a looping sound.

// this will play a 2D non-looping sound effectSoundEffect effect = Content.Load<SoundEffect>(“GameSoundEffect”);SoundEffectInstance instance = effect.CreateInstance();instance.IsLooped = true;instance.Play();

Just wanted to say thanks for the post on audio.

I'm about 10 months into my first XNA game. The two areas I find the most challenging are programming the audio and input issues. Everything else is coming along nicely. I'm always running into problems with the audio implementation in code.

I've used both soundeffect and XACT. Now that XACT has superior compression, I've tried to convert most of my audio to using XACT. But man I have a killer time trying to figure out how to use presets etc. in the XACT application and then utilizing that stuff in code.

Anyway, thanks again for the post. I look forward to more.
