I have a sound file playing during the Character Creation process of my login, how do I stop the music when the player logs in? This is what I have.

var/sound/s = sound('LoginTheme.mid')
client/base_num_characters_allowed = 5
mob/BaseCamp/ChoosingCharacter
    ChooseCharacterMenu(list/menu)
        var/menu_rows = ""
        for (var/item in menu)
            menu_rows += {"<tr><td align="center"><a href="?menu=choosing_character;choice=[item];src=\ref[src]">\[[item]]</a></td></tr>"}
        var/page = {"
        <body bgcolor=black font color=white scroll=no>
        <center><img src="Earths Special Forces Banner.png"></center>
        <center>
        <font color=white>
        <h2>Earths Special Forces</font></h2>
        <font color=white>
        <b>Choose a Character</b><br><br>
        <table border=1 cellpadding=3>
            [menu_rows]
        </table>
        </center>
        "}
        src.loc = locate(8,8,2)
        src << s

Just says how to start it, not stop it.

Really? You sure you didn't skip past the part that said "play a sound once"?

That doesn't stop it upon login though.

usr<<'blah.wav'
Really, something like that isn't playing it once? Then I guess the ref has a typo.

Well yes, its playing just once. But unfortunatley the song is like 3 minutes, and I want it to stop after Character Creation.

Have you tried anything like outputting no sound to them after character creation?

Well then, hmm, why are you playing it at all if it's WAY too long for what's needed?

The song fits so well.

I'm sure some random song you don't own does fit well, but look at the edit I made in that post.

What like src << null or something?

I'm thinking src<<sound(null), but I've never worked with sound-related procs before.
