speeding up music

| I am using the LoadSound:TSound and PlaySound:TChannel commands to load and play music from an .ogg file but it is taking a long time (for a computer - around 15 seconds) to load and start the music.  I want it to load and start the music much faster (perhaps loading it as it is being played). Is there a faster way of doing it? Jason |

| There is no way to stream music in BlitzMax natively.  Currently the only way of doing this is by using an external library such as FMod, Bass and a few others.  Not sure if there are any free ones. |

| Maxmod? |

| Sorry, current version of maxmod is out off action until blitzmax 1.28 (email me if you would like an older version that still works) awaiting a fix to the pub.directx module. testers wanted... http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=74048 |

| Other then FMOD (which is way to expensive to use for commercial projects) what other streaming libraries have BlitzMax wrappers (and preferably good documentation)? Jason |

| Another vote for Maxmod. |
