Music Help

[seph ir oth]

I want music from my CD's onto my map, working. Unfortunately, they are neither MP3's, so I am looking for any advice on how to make CD music available for WC3 maps.

You need to rip the CD..
to "Rip" means to take the songs from CD and make them into mp3 files.

To do this you need software...

I highly recommend Http://www.musicmatch.com

Its free and records quite well... once you have the mp3 file, you will also notice that it can be quite large..

In order to reduce its size, you will want to lower the quality of the recording.

If you have software that can change bitrates etc thats greate.. I recommend VBR or Variable Bit rate as it reduces the most and maintains good integrity of the music.

Remember...... Google is your friend

Thx

Alright, thx. Got some tight music (FF7's one winged angel, Linkin Park's origional Numb) on my music list, and it only takes up 4.2 mbs (compared to the 10.7)!

4mb of music is no thx.

Yeah the dl will take forever....

Not to mention the map would be impossible to play on BNet.

4.0 is the limit although it might possibly accept 4.1 or 4.2. But 4.2mb is the music alone, and when you add on the actual map size then that's definately not playable on BNet.

How can you tell if your map is above 4.0?

 

[Demonfaze]

Well, you can either go to BNet and try to host it & see if it comes up an error.

Or you can go to your file within the folder (non-warcraft. I'm talking about something similar to "C:\\Program Files\Warcraft III\Maps\Download" and right click the file and go to properties. In there, you can see its exact filesize.

He hasnt been here that long... The posts per day thing will gradually go down the more posts he gets, more than likley. At least thats what I think.
