Hi,
Wea are currently evaluating Unity to find out whether we can use it (free or pro license) to create our game. While the initial tests all worked out well, we have encountered a problem:
There seems to be no way to load mp3's from a users hard drive. Why is that? I have found a lot of questions on this topic but none gave an usable solution. Some suggest using the WWW class and give it OGG as an AudioType, that removes the "Streaming of 'mp3' on this platform is not supported" error, but the returned clip is still null.
We don't even want to stream the mp3s, just load them into memory. Is it a legal issue? Can it be solved by aquiring specific mp3 licenses? Why does it work on mobile devices, but not on pc?
Some suggested using different versions of Unity, or setting the stream-flag to false, but so far nothing worked. The Assetfolder Pro feature will be no help, because we need the user to load files from his/her harddrive.
greetings
