I've seen games with several custom theme songs in them. (ie: shadows over mystera) but even if I put ONE mp3 in my map it says: Map file is too big, please select a diffrent map. Is ther a way you people are compressing the files to make them smaller?.. How do you people put several of them in there?!.. :confused:

Damn... What the hell was blizzard thinking when they allowed you to put mp3s?.. I can't seem to find anything under 3MB... WHats the point if your gonna put in 10 second theme songs?!

Some songs loop really well so that people don't even realize the same fragment is being played over and over. Like this one:

Hmmm, that's weird. I was just fooling around and I put like 6-10 (mp3) songs in one of my maps. Worked just fine, but took a while to load, and I am positive that all of them were over 3 mB. Oh well...

i thought they shoulda had also the use of midis. sure they not quality, but u can find a whole lotta songs and some sound pretty good. maybe mp3s and midis, give some choice. But midis are nice and small and they can be quite long. I wish we could just use them...

I completely agree.. i have so many midi files and they are so much easier to get and are way smaller than mp3s.. You can add A LOT more midi files than mp3s.. because the 1 mp3 i wanted to add was 5.6 mb.. but on the midi file format its only 67kb!!!! I think its rediculous what blizzard has to offer for custom music...
