Chapter 7: Adding Sounds to Your XNA 3.0 Project (12 pages)
Even the game with the best game play doesn’t feel like a lot of fun if it doesn’t have any sounds. If you add a suitable sound to your visual effects together with a background score, your game will immediately feel a lot more finished.
This short chapter shows you how easy it is to add sounds to your XNA project and to manage them.

7-2. Play MP3 or WMA Sound Files
XNA 3.0 supports MP3 and WMA sound files, which you can use to add a background score to your game.
7-3. Play Simple .wav Sound Files Through XAct
This recipe introduces you to XAct the sound management utility of the XNA 3.0 Framework. You learn the simple steps on how to import sounds, and create an XAct project.
