Is this system eror?

[NatDav]

hi guys, i wanna ask something. When i imported a song, with a format mp3 i can't play that sound.

the sound tester just will go not responding and must be closed. When i put the song sto the BGM in map Properties, is same to first the game is lag then the game is not responding. is this a bug? or system eror? (For mp3 Format) Because it's so waste of time if i had to change all my bgm to ogg format

ITs because mp3 is not a universal format. It can say mp3, but depending on how it is encoded it may or may not run in RPGMaker. Therefore, I'm afraid you do need to convert them all to .ogg because then it will run.

Correct. I know a few more things on encoding, because I make music sometimes, so I was interested.

mp3 files vary. There are mp3s that have fixed sample rates and there are mp3s that have different sample rate during the encoding.

sp mp3 files vary according to the encoding methods, thus decoders vary too.

VX Ace does not support all formats.

ogg is better anyway. Smaller files, loops better. I've heard many people say when they use mp3, it doesn't loop properly - there's always a very slight pause.
