This is a question about editing SRB2, so it belongs in this section.

Torgo, that has nothing to do with reducing filesize, except for one sentence:

It helps to convert your MP3 to an OGG so your WAD's filesize will be smaller.

Unfortunantly, I'm no expert on music, so I have no idea how.

Oh, right. Well audacity is a pretty good free music editor I guess. You can use audacity to convert the music to OGG format. You can adjust the quality in the options of the program.

Here is a link to the program. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

ok i know that much (i think) but i used WXE for a sepret wad and it goes up to 50,000 kb even in ogg format (i used something else to convert to ogg) also when i clicked the music it said ogg format so uh yeah help there.

i already put the regular wad in a zip folder and the music is also in it's own folder (thats when its 50,000 kb)

so i might cut the music wad into acts for the original wad (for example sonicandfriends music act 1) but thats just in case i don't get it later or i get fustrated

Memory = RAM
Disk space = amount of space a file takes up.

Anyway, try using something like Audacity to convert it to OGG, it'll most likely reduce the filesize more than what you used.
