Putting Song onto the Game
Have a few questions about putting an mp3 sound fie into the game i am making. Any help would be appreciated.
Do I need to compress my mp3 file so that i can add it into scratch?
Will putting an mp3 make the game run slower? How can I avoid this?
Thanks

Just make sure the mp3 file is saved on the computer you are working on.
Then go to the sound section of a sprite or the stage and click import.
Then find the mp3 file, click on it, an press "OK".
The song will now be imported into the Scratch project you have open.
No, you do not need to compress the mp3 file, just import it how it is.
Putting it in will not make the game run slower. (At least it has not happened before)
And if it does go slower, then try compressing the mp3 files.
If the problem continues, try lessening the amount of sound files you have imported into Scratch.

You might need to compress the mp3 later, but that's another issue.

Re: Putting Song onto the Game
Squeak usually compresses the file slightly, and converts it mono (basically to the same sound for both sides of speakers)
If you want to compress the file further you can do it from scratch-
How to compress sounds in scratch
Version number 1. Click on edit at the top
go down and click compress sounds.
Version number 2. When uploading when you enter user and password check the box i the bottom left hand corner.
Hope this helps!

You could play the song, record it, and use it for the game/animation.
