The files will be named like they show up in the playlist, double files will be overwritten without any warning.

Wait a sec... Last time I used converted mp3s in a map.. it took about 5 minutes to load, and affected various other sounds, usually drowning them out.. maybe it was too loud... Burning Angel.. heh.. but Is it worth it? damn music making is so expensive...

Oh and MSI kicks ass...

Not true. I made most of my tracks when I was literraly broke. All of the software I have is free (legally too, no warez; fyi I now have better software).
All you really need to make modules is a tracker (there's hundreds of differnt kinds and most if not all are free). You may need a sound editor (mssound edit, cooledit, ect..) and thee's tons of free sample sites.

i have no problem getting the file to .it or .s3m format. i have a weirder problem that no one else it talking about. if i open up unrealed and go to the music browser it is blank. when i try and view all files, i just see the .ogg files. if i try and open one of those the editor crashes.if i try and import my 2.5MEG .it file it never shows up, and of course if i save the package it just doesn't exist. any ideas. patch i can't find? help

Well, i did all the afore mentioned stuff, my first file turned out 30MB coz i'd forgotten to record it on a lower quality and the second time when i did do it on a low quality i got a useless lump of staticy noise :eek:

So erm...any ideas on what i've done wrong/should do ???

Well, the best thing still is creating music directly in a tracker program instead of using one MP3, OGG or WAV which is converted to UMX.

I think the best ways to keep the UMX small have been mentioned already: Keep the song's length short, use 8bit and a lower sampling rate and maybe even use mono.

That kind of conversion shouldn't be automatic since a huge file size would result, unless of course it gave you options to control the sample's bitrate, Hz and so forth. It's not *that* hard, just Google some other programs... It can all be done in SoundRec32 (From windows), WinAmp and MadTracker or any other tracker... All of these can be found via Google, and SoundRec32 comes with Windows.
