It's good to have more than one way of doing things. It's too bad that vista has
a different requirement to where if hosts want their palace sounds to work in
vista that they have to make the file size of their wav's to be about 1.11 mb or
less.

Of course making a wav file smaller is a lot easier.

mp3's in palace there is a program that is called a riff editor. What it does is
takes any size file and copies it, putting a header at the beginning of the
file. Then palace will only load 1.1 MB of the file (although you download the
full song) to play. 1.1 MB is important for those of us that use vista. The old
default size for windows xp is 1.4 MB. Vista will not load those from palace.

a seperate folder. Then use a program to convert the bitrate down to about 48
kbit. This should lower the size to 1 MB or less. After all that is done copy
all the newly converted smaller mp3's into a folder that you will be creating
next.

converting the mp3 to a lower bitrate that you make sure it's less than 1.1 MB.

convert .wav files to mp3 and then put a header on them as well.

there are the instructions and link for the program. It says trial but so far
it's fully working and tested.
