MP3 files are more than just ripped tracks from Led Zep III.
How about an ambient music track, with strong wind sounds and a distant slide guitar in the background? That's not something MIDI (or mod files) can deliver. If I want to player to hear the specific trance patch that I have on my synth at home, I need to MP3 support.
A MIDI file is merely the sheet music to a song. An MP3 is a performance of the song. This is an important difference and one worth understanding.
Personally, I'm much more sensitve to the sound elments of an RPG than visual, so you'll have to forgive me beating a dead horse on this.
Also note that I'm not suggesting that MIDI support be removed from Dink. I'm looking for more dmod developer tools.
Thanks,
