Here's my 1.8 cents (exchange rates sap me dry... but anyways.) Remember what you all are here for: programming games. The average home-brew developer won't care if you import everything into, say, bp3 (BAM-p-3... shudder) so long as it works for him. Same with graphics (i.e., Mode-X). He JUST wants to make games, with no DETECTABLE loss in the graphics/sounds he imports.
So, if I were you, I'd make it easier on yourselves and support only OGG, with the run-time conversion of MP3->OGG as James/Keith suggested. Best of luck! (-> sR PS: You also catch conversion bugs earlier in the pipeline. (The developer complains "conversion doesn't work", rather than the player complaining "this sounds terrible.") --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > http://gilgamesh.hamsterrepublic.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=372 > > > > > > ------- Comment #29 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 2007-07-23 15:19 ------- > (In reply to comment #28) > > Um, we wouldn't transcode them on import.
