CloseOk, now I want to use MP3 files for my RM2K3 game as they are much better quality. Now, by games end the filed size will push 250MB. Is that even a big deal to anyone?

1) People tend to encourage it these days because different sound cards handle midis differently.
2) You can shrink your mp3s by re-encoding them to 128kbps/44Hz with no noticeable quality loss. That should get the size from 250MB to <100MB, unless you're making Everlong 2.

Thanks for the tip lol and that was a wonderful game.
I am aware that many developers here seem to favor Ogg Vorbis for audio files, although I don't know what they use for encoding or playback for their games. A quick search of the drive where I install my RM games turned up a total of over 15,000 files. Tbere are appear to be some practical advantages:
Ogg Vorbis
Perhaps somebody who knows more about this format can enlighten us about that choice.
Regarding the download size issue, I would say for most it isn't an issue, but in my particular case, most of the time I don't have the benefit of high speed internet due to monthly download caps. What I do then is let a larger game download overnight. Definitely, smaller downloads helps me.

Five years ago it was. Now? Shouldn't be any problem.

It was short lived, back to midi files. I can't fix the "not implemented" error on mp3s

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

As long as you don't use too many MP3s (such as I have), it shouldn't be too much of a problem. 250 MB seems reasonable enough I think anyways. But that's me since I have plenty of space on my computer and don't mind big downloads. Everyone's going to be indifferent to that I suppose. ^^;
I don't mind games being more than 250 MB's since I have a brand new computer and download speeds are pretty fast.
You can lower the file size of your MP3's, like Dyhalto said, by re-encoding them. I use Audacity to re-encode my files with no real difference between the complied song and the original file. It's pretty easy to use and it's free.
