I hope this is the right place to post this. It seemed the most appropriate even though it doesn't technically relate to a full mod.
Basically, I have occasionally dabbled in tracked music. A group of friends and I all decided that we're going to make February a Dwarf Fortress month, where we all play the game together at once (mostly to get us all over the hurdle of trying to learn how things work). To celebrate the epic occasion, a friend of mine made some tilesets, and I myself set to work on making a big piece of tracked music to use as BGM (which I will happily make available here if there's any interest). It eventually came out as a very dwarfy-sounding 9 minutes of tracked music using some custom samples, and I recorded the output to a .WAV, threw that into Foobar2000, and converted that to .OGG. Hooray!
So my issue is that this file doesn't seem to play in DF. The stock music plays fine, and I'm overwriting the correct file, but for some reason the game doesn't like it. It's confirmed by others that the issue exists on their end as well. I'm using (I think) the latest version, 0.28.181.40d9, and my .OGG has been tried as a variety of things, but is currently a 2-channel file at 44100 Hz, bitrate of 96. I've tried lowering various quality values to no avail, and at this point the only thing I can seem to think is that maybe the game doesn't like the length? Otherwise I can't detect any difference between my file and those included with the game, or those I've downloaded that others have converted for use in the game.
Any help would be very much appreciated, and as stated, if there's actually any interest in the song itself I'm happy to post it up here for general use (though I don't know where the appropriate place to do that would be).
Thanks, and my apologies for all the noobishness.
EDIT - Note also that I did do a metric crap-ton of searching on this issue and came up empty. Apologies if the information is out there and I just couldn't find it, but I had a cronie working on it as well and neither of us managed to find anything of substance about the problem.
