+1 for using .OGG files over MP3 for QB64 playback. When making my music apps in QB64 I did extensive testing to decide which format to use. OGG had the better quailty to size factor to my ears. Also, some MP3's wouldn't always play correctly. The free program Audacity, like Terry mentioned, does a good job spitting out low size .OGG files that still sound decent. I sometimes use the PortableApps Audacity version found here. I also use a program called 'Acustica Premium' which make better sounding .OGG files at lower file sizes (I think at least).
Another thing cool with using .OGG in QB64 is that you could attach data to the end of the .OGG if wanted without having any sound playback problems. QB64 will ignore that extra data when playing the OGG sound. That's how I did the .QBV video maker - the .QBV files were just .OGG+Video Data, with a footer marking were in the file the added data begins.
