Playing Music in a Custom Map

[ManyFaces1999]

Hey Guys. So, I've Imported a music for my map and it plays. How can I turn the music to auto-repeat?

And another thing, can I use music I get from youtube? I mean, I'm using a Final Fantasy Music and it was on youtube so can I use this or I'll be sued or anything. If I can't, then please tell me what kind of music I can use?

About the music from youtube - It doesn't matter if the music is on youtube or anywhere else - author's rights still go to the one who created the music, not the one who uploaded it somewhere.

I don't know if anyone will sue you - most likely, if they had problem with it, they would just tell you to put it away, etc.
However if you use custom music, then no matter what, add the author in credits - do not take credit for other people's work.

define "Custom Music"

And what About the Map Loading Screen? Does copyright apply to it too?

in this case, custom music is music which is not part of WC3 - thus any imported music is custom music.

Loading screens... practically everything you add in your map which is not your own or from WC3 should be add credits (as in you should add the author of the thing you use in credits).
Nobody won't be bothered by you using someone else's stuff if you properly add him in credits and you won't earn money from that map.

Oh, Btw, Where should I put the credits? I'm putting you and everyone else that's helped me in my map as well as the authors of the custom music I'm gonna use :3 So should I put it in the loading screen? Or in the beginning/end of the game ?

There are more ways to do this, however if you don't know how to, here's a tutorial about crediting: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/crediting-tutorial-83923/
