Lately I've been getting into using MP3's for my games because they sound a load better then Midi's, I'm still looking for a good program to concert them into small .OGG files though, so if anyone has any idea's, I'll be willing to listen.

It's called 'OggDrop' and you can get it from the Vorbis website...

I prefer winLAME
As a boy, I wanted to be a train. I didn’t realize this was unusual—that other kids played with trains, not as them.

I download everything that looks good. But downloading a 25MB Punch-It!-game is something that I don't wanna do.

no lose is lame, win is good
ogg music is smaller than mp3? nice i didnt know that.
i use a program called waver to make mp3s, you can change everything about the wav file you convert, so a two minute wav can be taken down to 350k and still sound good if you mess about enough.

If I'm interested in a game I download it, whether it be 1mb or 100mb. If it's shite, no big deal, at least I found out.
At first I only used midi's, mostly because they're easy to get and very small. Now I'm using MOD's instead. I my opinion MOD's is best for games, because most MOD's sound like gamemusic should sound like. Especially CHIP music. Plus that they are relatively small.

Have you ever heard Virt's prog-rock-chip Contra medley? It's the greatest thing ever.

well its a problem I face at the moment with my project scorn game totals around 10 mb EXCLUDING all sound effects and external files the 3 exe files it has are just massive around 3 mb each so all exes make up about 9 mb and concidering its not finished I suspect ALOT more mb shall follow soon! a way to cut down files size *slightly* is raring all your files... cause ZIP SUCK!S!

I have so many mods on my computer id be a fool not to use them, People don't make very good original midis anymore.
Anyway filesize shouldnt be too much of a bother for anyone unless there is a limit to their internet use.

Filesize always mattered to me when I used 56k. I'd get a game up to about 5mb, but only any bigger if it was hyped up (like Eternal Daughter and Triumph War), and even then only if it was smallish (10mb roughly).
Now I'm on 512k I don't worry so much, but I still don't go downloading files around 50mb unless I need them.
10mb - at 512k, this is my limit for general stuff (games, music, etc).
50mb - something I actually want, like a freeware application or a movie trailer.
100mb - something I *need*. It's gotta be important for me to download a 100mb file.
I rarely download anything bigger. In fact in the time I've had broadband, I don't think I've downloaded a single file anywhere near 100mb, let alone over.
Like Muz said, a (really) big click game is usually a sign of a bad designer. Some decent screenshots and description will usually account for the filesize.
eg: if someone shows good-looking pixel graphics like ED and comments that the game uses MP3 music, then you can immediately understand it being 25mb or thereabouts.
On the other hand if you have one which says "get this game it is t3h leet!" and the screenshots show some dreadful abberation with millions of external bmp files, and the file weighs in at 35mb, you know it's SO not worth the download.

Yeah, and games are only worth getting if they have good graphics.

Personally I won't download a game below 2mb. If the game designers didn't put enough work into their game to make it over 2mb, then why is it worth me downloading it?
