Playing .ogg

For my game I picked the .ogg music format because of it being free

Ive hear about some sort of "thing" (people in RL tend not to have very large vocabularies so I cant make that any more specific) which may mean that I have to pay licensing fees or something to someone anyway

So, being that I have no more information then that, due to the ammount of words in the initial rescription being replaced with incoherant babble I will ask a straght question

If I sell a game made in Blitz Plus and use the .ogg format, will I have to pay any of my money I recieve to anyone else?

I found this in the faq section

http://www.blitzbasic.com/faq/faq_entry.php?id=14

in short:

- I'd say to use the technology to play ogg files is royalty free

- is your tune written by you? if so see the above answer
else it depends on who wrote the tune

bear in mind though I aint no legal eagle!

The music is not made by me, but it was made specificly for my game, the person doing it says he doesnt want any money, but hes so good at it that I refuse to let him get away without any

As far as that FAQ is concerned the .wma format should also be free, however my research indicates that his format would result in me having to give money to microsoft, so for that reason I'm not relying on it

Ogg Vorbis is 100% royalty free, no strings attached.

Keep yer eyes out for NCA v2.0

Awesome, thanks guys

Quick edit:

I coded this to experiment with music:

Graphics 800,600,0,1

chnBackground = PlayMusic ("ThisIsDifferent.ogg",1)
Text 400,300,"Hi"
While Not KeyHit(1)
	WaitKey
	PauseChannel chnBackground
	WaitKey
	ResumeChannel chnBackground
Wend

ok, Problem 1 is that the text hardly ever shows up, and I dont know why

problem 2 is that despite the 1 being present as the help document indicated it should be for looping, the music still does not loop

any help is apreciated

try doing a 'flip after the text, so the backbuffer gets copied to the front.

Thanks

I'll try that when I have another free minuet
