.wav files still need to be converted to ogg, so, that probably won't help. =P (and back to .wav, after that >.<)
I'll have to think of what I'm doing wrong with the alcscript. =P


Wav is totally gapless, and ogg either doesn't have the gap or has built-in gapless support. The format of mp3 always puts blank data in the beginning of the file, and it's up to the playback software to detect and correct this. So, wav-to-ogg should be more likely to work, not to mention better source quality, and no quality loss from transcoding.

I have a history of grumbling about this kind of stuff... :P

Yes, but, the version in the age right now is an ogg >.> But, i'll convert the wav, and see how she goes. =P

EDIT: btw, I trust your judgement, and will do it, but, i'm not sure if that's the exact issue.. i set the, um, music to "looping" in the prp, though, not entirely sure what that does. =P

Anyways, i'll let you know what happens, when I set up the new version. =)

EDIT2: but, definitely, better source quality will be very, very nice. =P

EDIT3: Thanks, Dustin!

good lordy! That is LOUD!

I just checked my sound settings, virtually /everything/ was on low. O-o

No wonder everyone had problems. =P

Well, i've toned it down a /LOT/. As for the Imager sounds, I can't seem to make them nearly quiet enough, so, for now, I'll remove the sounds for those =/ (I'd hoped I'd manage to get them done for this new release.. I just can't get them anywhere near suitably quiet... they're currently sitting on "volume: 0.005" and they're /still/ not quiet enough. =/ They're actually painfully loud, atm, still :< Yet, Cyan's are at 0.1 or so, and use the same sound file O-o

annd.... time for a release!

Sound issue should be finally fixed -- no imager sounds, though, sadly :<
