This entity is used to play music within a level. The difference from Ambient Generic is the volume being controlled via the CVar 'mp3volume' instead of 'volume'. Plays everywhere, is not affected by 3D positioning, reverberation, or filters. Mappers can adjust volume of individual music tracks by "volume" key value, but the final volume is determined on the client-side based on a value of "MP3Volume" CVAR. Music will play even for players that joined after the entity was triggered. Playback will start with an appropriate offset for them. Music can be looped.
