How can I use two functions at the same time?

Question

Example:

while (a > 1)

{
PlaySound(TEXT("1.wav"), NULL, SND_ASYNC;
}

PlaySound is a Windows.h function, it's used to play .wav sounds.

I want to use a song as my game's background music, but I don't know another way to make it play infinitely without using while. But, if I use while, the program just don't keeps executing while the music don't stop.

I know there is multi-thread in C++, but I don't know how can I use it.

Sorry for the bad English, I'm Brazilian.

Thanks!
