Hello! I just dropped by to say that the first post is incredibly informative (yet brief) and that all threads in the Q&A forums should be like this one.

About the music, I've seen quite a few people mention .ogg as a great extension.

Its 2011, almost 2012, 100 mb is no big deal, hell, even Yahoo allows you to email 100mb files now for free. Make the game the way you want it. WHy cut corners, its not 1990.

Checking the omniscient manual, it states that

</h1>

<h1>Changing resources
This functionality is only available in the Standard Edition of GameMaker.

so external resources are not available in Lite, unless the manual is wrong, or someone forgot to prohibit those functions.
A weak workaround this would be executing a premade command line application made in another language to play a given sound, as MCI_command() is not supported in lite either.

I should think about that.

BTW, is there a way to open external mp3 without using default music player?
