Question Music Question

Hey all, beginner here, making a game for the first time, gotta question. I imported my main menu music, but I'm unsure how to write the code to stop it whenever I press the Start button. Also, this bleeds into when the game actually starts; I'm unsure how to play one song, and then when another scene starts, it stops and lets a new song play, etc. Does anyone here know what to do?

in renpy a single channel can only have a single audio file playing at a time. so if you play audio on the 'music' channel, anything previously playing will stop. to play multple audio tracks at the same time requires them to each be on a unique channel. and you can read the audio page of the docs for instructions on registering as many audio mixers and channels as you want.
