Is there anyway to make imported music smaller? I imported some music that was 2mins long and it's 21mb's and for some reason it's really quite in the editor and ingame, tips?
Wow, 1998 wants its damned webpage templates back. Okay Gimmie a sec Ownagg I'll try to find you a converter that isn't stuck in the previous century and runs in a real operating system.
You can convert x to y blah blah without much issue. I'm sure its shareware of some form or another but it did the job and hasn't made any various malware detectors angry in the meantime so I'd say its okay.
So basic thing is typically for channels stereo is good enough (2 speakers, left vs right) and for music for a game honestly mono is also quite okay. Bitrate determines how the quality of the song goes, anything over 96 should sound 'okay', 192 is what a CD typically sounds like so its pretty much taste/size upto the person doing the conversion.
I'm using MP3 files but its kinda expensive too
2mb for a 2min file, I wonder how "efficient" is .ogg
Does it cost much less but have an acceptable quality?

Maybe provide more information? Like the format you used?

.wav
OGG seems to be the format preferred, try editing the bitrate & channels to achieve balance of size that's usable vs acceptable to one's ears.

I have no idea how to do that. ;<

SourceForge (and opensource) is your friend.

Luckily I have sound forge :3
Hmm, how the hell do I install it? lol

SourceForge, not soundforge. Just visit the link.

Misstype, I've downloaded it at the link and all I get is a bunch of files?

Aight this is the particular one I'd used a few weeks ago and well it seems to be harmless enough: http://www.freemp3wmaconverter.com/
