The best overloaded method match for has some invalid arguments?

Question

I am trying to loop my background music in my game however am receiving the error above when putting this if statement in the update function:

if (!songStart)
{
    MediaPlayer.Play(backgroundMusic); // error occuring here
    songStart = true;
}

when I put this into load content the error dissapears however I need it in the update so that it is constantly checking if the song is not playing (!songstart) .

I currently have this in load content to load the song:

Song backgroundMusic = Content.Load<Song>("backgroundMusic");
MediaPlayer.IsRepeating = true;

EDIT: Just noticed I am also having the follows error, may this have something to do with it?

'Cannot convert from 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.SoundEffect' to 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media.SongCollection'

Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't think you need that bool to check if the audio is already playing, you can use:

if(MediaPlayer.State != MediaState.Playing)

And for your error, you probably have two variables named backgroundMusic , I think that your class variable is a SoundEffect (as I read in your previous question), and you have a Song variable with the same name declared in your LoadContent . You should remove the first one.
