WPL not playing (2.1 Beta2)

Hi! I had the 2.0.8 version, with the wpl on the folder music and named music.wpl and everything, and it played the mp3 songs correctly.
Now, with the Beta2, the songs don't play... What's going on?
Code: Select all
[game]
path=.
track1.mp3
track2.mp3
[menu]
path=.
track2.mp3

I think you need OGG files of the songs, as mp3s aren't supported anymore. Just convert those files to OGG with an mp3 converter

Libmad (which decodes the mp3 files) was removed.
Unsure the exact reason.
It would be better to use a external player anyway though.

It was removed because it wasn't maintained anymore. (Due to patent issues perhaps?)

Yes, it surely would be, since we're making a game, not a music/media player. Which
might be a reason for removing playlists altogether in the future.

Terminator, I am curious why you don't like a external player? Is there some issue we are not aware of by using a external player like winamp & the game?
