is it possible to have actuall songs onto your rpg or do they all have to be bam. music? ... i was hoping i could put songs that my freind mix's for flash games but..
also when i asked if it was possible to have speech (people talking during text) i was told yes but how can this be?
Really confused

(yes i have loads of people who are willing for voice actors Raspberry!

)

You need to be using the nightlies for those new features you've heard about. Here's a list of all of the nightly versions:
You can use one from this list or this one if the list is too confusing.

In the hasta la qb version,all you can use is BAM,well that and MIDI...
however if you got a (buggy but cool,and new) WIP version you could have support for much more formats of music,as well as sound effects...
of course the EXACT name of the supported formats,I dont know...MP3 I think... IT as well....hmmm....sorry,thats all the help I have... Neutral

oh yeah! voice acting,no can't be used (unless its in wav. MP3. or OGG)

edit:whoops! I replied a little to late...hehe...

Sure thing.

Let's see now...
This looks like a pretty safe bet: [Click].

Or pretty much anything on the list that ends with _native has exceptional music capabilities.

If by exceptional, you mean "they will currently import most sound files except MP3s," then yes.

They don't import mp3s no more? Neutral

Not right now. Whether they will again in time for the next stable release is up in the air. If you have MP3s imported in your game already, they will continue to play, which says there's probably a hacky way to sneak them in still.

The problem with MP3s currently is that certain sampling rates will crash GAME. Eventually, they're going to make it so that you can import MP3s but they will immediately be converted to the ever-so-popular OGG format.

All music backends behave the same with regard to MP3 playing/importing. You need to download madplay+oggenc to import MP3s, because there is only going to be full support for OGGs from now on.
