I don't particularly like background music so very rarely add it. When I ha
ve, I just select either a wav or mp3 file and add it in the program. Never
had any problem getting it to play. I never installed a codec for xat and
it always works. Wav's take up such a lot of space that I like to use mp3 f
iles and the quality is pretty good. You can cut a wav size down to a tenth
by converting to mp3. I convert my wavs with a program called "dbPowerAMP
Music converter". Can't remember where I got it from but a web search shou
ld find it.
