Gramophone (music formats, codecs)

I've been trying to get some mp3s to play in the Gramophone without success.

I have heard the game should accept mp3s, wav and ogg files. What codecs does it use? I have the only fraunhofer mp3 layer II(?) codec, though no ogg codecs. That leaves PCM wavs, and I don't want my gramophone folder hogging my HDD with gigs of uncompressed music!

in sh3 I think the devs recommend against using mp3's as they
tend to skip. ogg is the common one, as for the codecs, ill defer
to someone with more knowledge.

Not sure about codecs. I use mp3s and .ogg files and don't have any trouble (touch wood ). The best thing to do IMHO is to download Media Coder and batch convert your mp3s into 'ogg format. It allows you to set the average bit-rate, so you have some control over file size / quality.

If you have the time and patience to work on a track-by-track basis I recommend Audacity - it's a free open source audio editor, very sophisticated. I use it for cleaning-up and editing OTR programmes. You can export each file / track as mp3, WAV or .ogg, with sull control over bit-rate.
