i have a solution (i think) for songs with partial loops and other cool stuff

this is another thing, where i’m not sure if i’m doing a no-no just willy-nilly opening up a bunch of threads when the game starts to load all these .ogg files (i don’t know much about threads, i just know it makes things go fast cause multiple things are happening at the same time). i have a pretty good computer so it’s hard to tell when i’m doing dumb performance stuff sometimes. on a weak computer if i open a bunch of threads like this will their computer explode? or is C# smart enough to not do that?

Experimenting with multithreaded code when you’re not sure what you’re doing can be risky. Thanks to race conditions and such, your code might appear to work fine one time and then seemingly randomly crash another time, without you having done anything noticeably different. It’s also really hard to debug multithreaded code, I think. I stay away from multithreading because I don’t know what I’m doing with it. As far as spinning up a bunch of threads on a weaker computer, no, it won’t explode. The worst that could happen to the computer would be 100% CPU usage, and that would just mean the computer would become sluggish.

it was extra hard since i really don’t know anything about reading files, or whatever the heck bytes are.

Was that sarcasm? =P A cursory glance over your code makes it hard to believe you don’t know what bytes are.
