Is there any way to import .midi files?

[iron_warrior]

Because they are a jillion times smaller than .mp3. The sounds/music are only around 10-20 KB, which is usually 10 times less than any model, so it'd be nice to have them in. I've heard you can do it, and I found some tutorial using the search function but it was really...odd and didn't explain itself well.

Thanks in advance,

afaik, the only supported music files are mp3 and wav. If that's not true, I'd be glad to see this tutorial

I really didn't get the tutorial so I was hoping for a better way .

Unfortunately, it seems the editor only supports .mp3 and .wav sound files, as Eleandor just said.

I agree though, that .midi files are much better, specially when you have a 4MB size limit for hosting at Battle.Net.

If you're going for a multiplayer map, you probably can't use it because you can never know if someone "installed" the mod or not. Asking everyone to install it will ceertainly decrease popularity.
If you're going or single player: hey, just use mp3 then, it's way easier

Ahh, after re-reading the tutorial, I noticed it wasn't a multiplayer thing. Originally I thought it was an addon that would be DL-ed when the map was.

Shucks, thanks for the info.
