Hey do not use the PureBasic MODULE lib with commands like "LoadModule()", this plays XM mods too and its free, you dont have to pay so mutch money for a license... Btw FMod is free as long as you dont make a comercial game i.e. - else you have to pay the license...WolfgangS wrote:

I do believe Blitz uses FMOD, and there are still many sound issues with Blitz (especially surrounding tracker files). I'm not sure if this is Mark's implementation of FMOD, or if its something to do with the FMOD system itself.
I just know a lot of pros that are unhappy with the existing sound system in Blitz (one guy is writing his own to wrap within Blitz because he's so fed up with it).
Certainly if there is a better system already in existance, I say we go for it

By sheer co-incidence, I received an E-Mail today that had this info inside.
Don't know if it helps, but it may be something to consider...
"Instead of hard-coding the soundtrack, I just load an m3u
(data/playlist.m3u). The code just cycles through the tracks and plays them.
The tracks have to be ogg vorbis encoded... Windows ogg vorbis software
is here:
http://www.vorbis.com/download_win.psp
(vorbis doesn't have the patent restriction mp3 does. It's got better
compression anyway... I've been encoding songs I rip from CD with it for
some time.)"

I found some public and free tracker replayer sources for windows on the net without any copyright or license... Maybe mark used one of this and modified...?

MP2 doesn't have as good of compression as MP3; however, MP2 is a royalty free distribution AFAIK unlike MP3. I use MP2 a lot.
