I want to add music to my game. I have found a few songs I like, but I can’t figure out how to get them into the game. Here are the methods I have tried:

1. I tried to use a makecode music import tool, but it came out as one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. Nothing like the song I put in.
2. I tried to embed the game on a Google Slides and then add music to that slide, but that doesn’t work. Is there possibly another platform that supports this?
3. I tried making it in the built-in music maker, but I have no knowledge of how music is made, and I couldn’t recreate it. Is there something I can put my song in, and it will tell me what to put in the music editor?

Finally, makecode devs, could you guys please add a way to import music to games? I don’t care that it won’t follow the “style” of the engine; I just want music in my game

Nothing will sound exactly how it’s supposed to when ported into MakeCode, because there are inherent limitations to the sounds that are possible to produce with the built in sound generators. If you want music, you have to use a different game engine such as Scratch, which uses a similar block coding program to the one in MakeCode, so it will be easy to learn. If MakeCode did not have limitations, it would just be Scratch, so if you want MakeCode without limitations, use Scratch!

I like most of the limitations, just not the music.

btw I am (slowly) trying to add PCM sampling to makecode, and a parser. This will basically allow small sound files to be played in the simulator. (please note though that I am in NOT in the makecode team and don’t know the mods at all.)
