Just launch loadingsongadvanced.amxx. That's all.

[krededk99]

File precache ok, plugin running fine.

But theres zero sound when connecting to the server.

I'm seeing this error in the console: Missing RIFF/WAVE chunk

Gonna try with another file

*upd*

Same problem with 3 other mp3's. No sound, RIFF/WAVE error.

Missing RIFF/WAVE chunks

I've been looking at this thread for the past 1 hr and suddenly **magically** the sound started coming. I think i followed someones advice but now I've forgotten. Thanks, whoever you are (lol?)
This is what i did or this is the current situation of my folders
1) both .sma files present
2) both .amxx files present
3) only loadingsongadvanced.amxx is written in plugins.ini
4) in loadingsongs.ini, the first line is blank (for n00bs, i've first hit enter and then written the song names from the next line onwards). All the songs are after that newline

All volumes are cranked up
I'm getting random songs from the list. Btw, it's a home server

Missing RIFF/WAVE chunks is not a frigging problem. Even i'm getting it and everything is running fine!

OMG!
Well,
i think you're including mp3 files which were coded in 48khz, but CS can not play mp3 files with 48khz! Recode the with 22khz and it might work ;)

You can recode it with Audiacity and the LAME Plugin for Audiacity ;)

[Arkshine]

Don't use this plugin, use this one : Loading Music II ;)

The "Missing RIFF/WAVE chunks" error is because you try to precache the mp3 sounds with precache_sound() instead of precache_generic().

I couldn't get it to work. All I wanted was one song to play during loading and it seemed quite hard to find a simple answer so here one is, should that be really all someone may want.

This is how to play an MP3 when the client first connects (while they are in the loading screen while downloading):

public client_connect(id)
{
client_cmd(id, "mp3 play sound/misc/cops-Badboys.mp3");
}

The above does assume the client already has that sound file, so you also need:

public plugin_precache()
{
engfunc(EngFunc_PrecacheGeneric, "sound/misc/cops-Badboys.mp3");
}

If you'd like to play a WAV instead of an MP3, use this instead:

public client_connect(id)
{
client_cmd(id, "play misc/prodigy.wav");
}

and for the Precache:

public plugin_precache()
{
engfunc(EngFunc_PrecacheSound, "misc/prodigy.wav");
}

I have tested this code and it (and the directory structure) is correct.

Doesn't work!

is the file's name config or configs ?
