You could use a programatic Music system with Loops .. That will help keep the size low and add dynamics to your music! ;)

As for the compression codecs other than ADPCM, they work in MMF2, but not in your Java builds. The problem with using codecs is that they have to be installed on your target machine, so with Java, you want compatibility, anyway.
Please do keep this conversation going with reports on tools and any problems.
I thought that I had functional results with my tests using SoundForge to compress and save the .aiff files at various settings.
I'm going to have to double-check that so we can find out what's up with the way the format is saved, by what program, and how MMF2 handles it in Java.
One of the Moderators mentioned something about an Ogg Vorbis class, but I don't know if it is feasible or how that would go. One would hope that Java would expand and improve to a point, over time, that would utilize newer technology.
Sorry Novabrain, but I don't see where we're going off the track here. You said:
And Melli and I, we're just investigating if AIFF really beats the uncompressed WAV as you stated above for usage with MMF2. You also said that we, users, should feel free to discuss this format, and that's what we're doing.. discussing the format, tools and trying to find a viable path of compatibility to MacOS in the sound area.Quote:

You folks are doing fine and I appreciate the interest. Sorry, if somehow my post sounded like I was suggesting any problems with the nature of the discussion. That wasn't my intent.
Cooling the temperature down a bit .. ;)
Just found bugs with the audio engine in java..The audio plays (though I'm not sure if it's in the correct channel) but ...
Using the Stop ALL Sounds action doesn't stop the audio.. It just keeps playing!
Posting example in a bit ..

THE AUDIO BUGS
If Francois can take a look at this that would be great! ;)
Problem: Sounds playing on wrong channels, and stop sound is not playing. Also will not play from external file (Though you may have fixed that now! ;) )

Corrected!
Great! ;)
Sorry if my post looked like it was "warming up" the temperature :P
Good Job finding the bugs Melli, and thanks François for fixing them :)
All good!
Everyone has to just remember that this is a text-based forum! It's very easy to misinterpret what is actually going on and it's happened to me loads of times! lol ;)
Let's keep bug-hunting! The faster we find them, the faster Francois and Yves can fix them! ;)
And thanks Francois for doing a great job! :)
