A suggestionn to musicians:
Saturday, December 13, 2014 - 04:25

A suggestionn to musicians: Don't use mp3 for games. The format is great, but, it has licensing fees. If you use an mp3 file for a game that has been distributed for over 5000 copies, if the mp3 patenters notice this, you will have to pay 2,500$ just for using the format.

 Also, I heard that MP3 has 10 milliseconds of emptiness at the start of each file, making the format terrible for loops, but I don't know how true that is.

And nobody likes converting every music piece they have to OGG.
