Make sounds SMALL! How?
I'm trying to use music in my project, but it takes 10MB, but its 1MB in Windows.

Oh I thought they stopped it.
You can compress sounds and pictures before you upload something. I don't know of any other way to reduce how big a sound file is. Maybe cutting out parts you don't need?

I think that may be what you're experiencing.
You can try compressing the sounds, however.
Speaking of which, I added some words to a picture that was 1MB big, then it jumped up to 2MB. Are letters that big?

It could have been verging on 2MB, because I think letters are only meant to be about 2 bytes each, which, you know, isn't a lot. It may differ in Scratch, though.

How big are the letters and what colours? The more colors the bigger the image size.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Actually it was around 1200 kb and it jumped up to 2300 kb

I guess that's it. The letters were size 48 and white (all of the colors together)

Re: Sound HELP!
Sounds in .wav format (and some others) are reallllly huge! Convert them to mp3s and you can shrink them way down. If they won't load in Scratch after shrinking, convert them to mp3s again but at a higher bit rate.
aka Pain from DragonSpires, Delrith Online, BotBattle, Urban Dead etc etc lol
