You should not use streamed music (aka .mp3, .m4a, .ogg) in your games because it's utterly inappropriate, slow and inefficent. ASlib is a ridiculously outdated library that should never be used in new projects.

Maxmod supports MOD, XM, S3M and IT; all of which are tracked music formats. It is impossible to convert streamed music to tracked formats, because the latter needs information about the notes, effects and samples.

"MOD, XM, S3M and IT; all of which are tracked music formats"
