Any idea how to keep background music playing?

The background music you select in Edit Backdrop does not play at all on my quest. I implemented Sounds for background music, but they stop playing after a while. The only thing I can think of to get around this is making different sounds to play background music separately for each objective. Has anyone figured out a way to keep their background music looping without using multiple sounds? I'd hate for someone to step away from the keyboard between objectives and lose their background music just because it times out. Also, it sort of limits the number of objectives I could put in a map without it eventually becoming silent.

    Not that it matters much right now anyway. Music only works in Foundry preview, not in published quests. This is why most Foundry content is eerily silent and lacks atmosphere right now.

    I'm hoping I figured out a way to get around that, I spent a lot of time working on the atmosphere of my map. Got lots of nature sounds, and frequently changing music.

    No way around it.

    Actually, there is a way around it (to a certain degree), but it's a bad choice for any map except one-room maps. If you have one of those (which I had in A Hidden Blade, hence the use of music in the first and last map there), you can attach music to the room background. Do not do this for multi-room dungeons as the music is likely to "bleed" to other rooms, creating a horrific cacophony of noise.
