I store all my sounds and music in ogg and flac format, because they compress better and because they are open formats.

Adding them should not be too hard and I see no reason to not do this

Support. OGG is way better than WAV.

Support. The only issue that comes up is consistency across all sounds hosted in projects, but I can't see why that would be needed.

Support. It's inconvenient to have to convert sound to other file formats every time you want to add some type of music/sound effect.

I'm also pretty sure that .mp3 files are allowed in 3.0

yeah but a lot of people want an easy way to have sounds under 10 megabytes so they can actually add it to their project without sacrificing sound quality!

when green flag clicked
stop  sound [mpeg.mp3]
forever
play sound [nighttime sounds recorded from my garage.flac ] until done
end

stop  sounds [mpeg.mp3]

MP3 at 192 Kbps for stereo, or 96 Kbps for mono, is basically transparent to my ears - what that means is that I hear no audio quality degradation, and the amount of compression is massive. There's really no reason not to use MP3 - I really don't get why everyone always exaggerates the amount of quality loss caused by compression to such an extreme degree.

Also, in the future, please press the Quote link on a user's post when you are quoting someone else. That will lessen confusion when that person reads your post.

As for the suggestion itself, support. I'd like to be able to import many kinds of compressed audio into Scratch without converting it to something else. It would be especially nifty if Scratch supported Opus, which is basically the best audio codec in existence at the moment.

i converted a .wav of nighttime sounds to .mp3 and a lot of the nighttime sounds were not audible in the .mp3

when I receive [ full audio format support v]
stop all sounds
repeat until <end of full audio format support>
play sound [nighttime_sounds_recorded_from_my_garage.flac v] until done
end

Safari doesn't support playing OGG files, so it'll have to be converted to a different format

Of the browser versions listed in the FAQ, it seems Edge 15 and old versions of MacOS don't support FLAC files

NOTE:
I am 100% sure that Scratch doesn't support OGG! Use WAV like I do, and your sound will work.

kk will do,tnx

Workaround: You can name the sound [SOUND NAME].mp3 instead of [SOUND NAME].ogg, that should work. I tried it myself.

The suggestion regarding OGG files is a duplicate, https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/206680/ . Thus please discuss that in the link provided. Thank you.

Support. I have this copy of Pokémon Essentials which contains rips of actual Pokémon music but in various files, but I can't use anything except for the cries!

Don't do that. Changing the file extension won't magically change the data format.

Can't OGGs also contain video footage and text?

Im Doing Friday Night Funkin Ost And I Only Have The Ogg Files

Support, I rather use sounds that loop instead of it fading way and starting over again

I wanna import Friday Night Funkin' music, but there's a problem: the music files are .ogg files and Scratch does not support .ogg files. Could you make Scratch support .ogg files, please?

Bump. Lossless (FLAC) is better than uncompressed (WAV)
