Hey,

I've seen some cool music maker programs around, but they are using Noteblocks or Iron Noteblocks.
I wonder why noone uses Commandblocks plus the /playsound command.
Just wrap a command block and use the setcommand/runcommand stuff.

Sadly this will only work in Creative, but I guess it's a really efficent and easy way for making real music in minecraft.

The reason you probably haven't seen it done is because I believe /playsound was only just added to MC 1.6.1. But yeah it does make things considerably easier, and as a bonus you get to play sounds at whatever coordinates you like. Pretty sweet!

Edit: Oh and I believe you can change the pitch too.

Edit2: Ah hell just look for yourselves: Minecraftforum post because the wiki isn't updated yet

Cool thanks @svdragster, I'll update to 1.6.1 then!

Great minds think alike I see.
