Im not particularly keen on MP3's for D-Mods.
Ive got several reasons:
Size: The few MP3's I have on my computer take up a lot of space. If you were to put 10 Midis in your D-Mod it might take up 300 kb MAX. 10 Mp3's however would take up to 1 MB each making downloads take forever. Playing them throughout the game would also make gameplay alot slower.
Vocals: Midi's, I think, were mainly intended for a background to the game. I do not think that if the main game had no midis it would have put fans off. MP3's have vocals which would draw attention from the game.
Home-made midis: Alot of people make their own midi's, and probably wouldn't feel as comfortable singing for a song that would be posted for hundreds to see. Alot of midis chosen are not neccessarily the songs topping the charts right now. The midi system has been around for a while and has a larger variety of music. It could be tough tracking down songs. Some songs like halloween themes and the classic "Dun...... dun dun dun dunnnn dun" dont have any vocals. I doubt anyone understood that, but I think my point is made that there is no point restoring a small bit of the sound quality and in doing so quadruple-druple-ing th size.
And lastly:
Who cares?: I play Dink for the game and don't always have the speakers on.
I hope Ive made myself clear.
