Yeah, of course, using Ogg Vorbis is a nice option. No matter how people
generate music, it can be rendered 8-) The only issue with it is the
size of the files (can considerably increase the size of a package).

But... I (and most players) will prefer 2Mb songs than no songs at all 8-)

Well, the idea with Csound was:
1) I'm interested in it so there's a chance that "some day" I get the
energy & time to get something out of it
2) composing with Csound is very close from programming, things like
changing the music when there's a fierce fight, adding instruments when
new players come in, can be possible. And that's cool.
3) as with .MOD and midi files, it's very lightweight.

Well well well, I'm just, at this very moment, listening to them. No I'm
not just listening, I'm enjoying them ;-)

Thanks and have a nice day,
