repeat background music after it ends cocos2dx?

In my app for android, i want to play a music in the background throughout until the game quits. The sound is of length 1 min. What i want is that the sound to repeat automatically when the track ends. any idea?

Update I figured out the solution myself. If someone else have the same problem, here is the solution SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine()->playBackgroundMusic(std::string(music_file_name)),true);

The true in the end tells if the sound will loop or not. True: sound will repeat once it has ended. False: Will play just once.

You can copy paste the .mp3 or .wav file in the resource folder than add the file in project than use this line as follows:

CocosDenshion::SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine()->playBackgroundMusic("background-music.wav", true);

and to play sound effect you copy paste the .mp3 file or .wav file in resource folder then add that to project and use this line as follows:

CocosDenshion::SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine()->playEffect("pew-pew.wav");

make sure you write(without the first ")

"#include "SimpleAudioEngine.h"

at the start of file

and include the corresponding libraries.

CocosDenshion should have a loop parameter that will handle this for you.

See here for an example

Make sure you use PlayBackgroundMusic("file", true) for music and playEffect('file') for sounds though; I seem to recall that playBackgroundMusic has the ability to stream an mp3 from disk (whereas effects have to be loaded into RAM first).
