using MP3 like in Mario Builder would be useful for Platform Builder Pro

Nice idea, I asked Ting Thing about it. He said that it wasn't possible. I did wonder why it was possible for MB, yet not possible for PB. ??? I just asked him why via e-mail. Search for mp3 to ogg file converters and convert the files.

I wish I could do it, but I can't.

It's an unfortunate side-effect of the new way that Game Maker 2 handles sound. Mario Builder was made with Game Maker 1. There might be a work-around extension which I am unaware of. If anyone finds a way of streaming mp3 with GMS2, let me know!

I had a feeling that that was the case. Since MB is old. :(
