[Trigger] Decreasing Music Size?

[CHA_Owner]

I want to insert music into my map as in like 3 songs that continually go in a playlist but whenever i insert music into the map it takes the map size to 2mb per song how can i drasticly decrease the music files?

Take a music converter and convert the song into the same filetype but with lower quality?!

And I think there was a post with exactly the same question. I think that guy got a link to a program as an anwser but I don't know which one it was.

Convert the music and dramaticly reduce their sound quality with a file converter program. Just google something like FreeRip. and dl it. Most file converters come with the option to set the bit rate

Edit: Oops someone else already posted...my bad

Ty and ill tell you if it works +rep!

EDIT* nope it didnt work it made it smaller but was still too big for a warcraft 3 map someone please find out how for me

I think nothing u can do to make the size lower if u already low the bit those mp3 but still BIG 4 ur map, unless u cut it time like 180sec song to 20sec song and other 160sec u cut it. But remember other 160sec will not be played if u cut it..

You reduce the bit rate....that decrease the file size

So how does busterkomo do it in his map?

Humans vs. Orcs

He reduces the bitrate and quality of the song even more so it does fit.

Oh, and make sure it's .mp3 and not .wav.

Well I actually don't think that reducing the quality so much that 3 songs fit into the map is a good idea...

1. The songs will sound aweful!
2. Why the hell do you want 3 songs in your map?
3. There will be no other place for imports -.- bigger models for example

Thats right, we play the map not to listening the music..

You should only add music to your map if it would increase gameplay fun dramatically...
