Hi, just saw this link:

Gizmodo Link to Mp3 Licensing dropping

What does that mean for 3dgs, and packing Mp3s into rescources?

It means that the patents around mp3 decoding have expired (note, there are still patents on _encoding_ mp3!). You can now legally ship a mp3 decoder in your game without paying licensing fees to Frauenhofer.
