How to optimize sound/music size

[DivineLight]

someone know how to optimize sound/music size? so i can put 3 or more music in my map?

Just cut the music to 30-40 seconds or whenever the music loops. Or you can reduce the quality using any file converter. Low quality music still sounds good in-game.

how to cut the music?

You can do that on any file converter applications. I highly recommend YoutubeDownloader.

Audacity ------> Export file ------> Options ------> bit rate = 96 ------> Ok ------> Export as mp3

bit rate = 96

I find a bit rate as low as 48 still sounds good. Considering the importance of low file size, and the fact that you don't normally pay too much attention to music when in the middle of gameplay.

Here is the Audacity link for you:

You can also try using MIDIs, can't remind whether or not they work in war3.
