The mp3 format is a collection of many different encoding configurations. Which settings work with Warcraft 3, and which don't?

Answer:

There are some ~120 different mp3 encodings and effectively an infinite number of ways to tag metadata on an mp3 file. I don't know of any list of working and non-working formats accepted by Warcraft 3, but:

  • VBR 110-150Kbps with forced mono channel mode does work for me in patch 1.36.1.21015 x86_64
  • This thread (MP3 File doesn't work) seems to indicate that 64Kbps -- presumably CBR + stereo -- does not work.

I would like to add that ''Flac'' sound type also generally works without issues but is often heavy on size. :peasant-thumbs-up:
