The wav to mp3 would be great for vehicle packs. It'll be cool if a tool was created to update the vehicle scripts txt files sound paths.

should be simplehttps://github.com/CFC-Servers/gm_addon_optimization_tricks/blob/main/sound_compression/wav_to_mp3.py#L77

can be easily added in here if needed

Do mp3 files have any noticable downsides in gmod compared to wav?

[smoky jackal]

I'm having trouble using wav>mp3, I tried to run the script as user and as admin but I got this error

? What do you want to do? .wav to .mp3 (lowers filesize) (skips looped/cued files)
