For example, we are restricted to only uploading mp3 files. Ogg files, in particular, are ideal for the purpose of making audio loops. Mp3 files add empty space at the beginning and end of the file, making it un-loopable. Ogg files don't, and supporting oggs on roblox would make all loop developers happy.
These are two ogg files I disguised as Mp3s that got approved and play perfectly in game:
http://www.roblox.com/In-the-Room-Loop-item?id=138091612
http://www.roblox.com/Focus-Loop-item?id=136786547
If you play these in game, you'll notice that there is no gap between the repeats.
Unfortunately, disguising ogg files as Mp3s doesn't always work. These are 3 Ogg files disguised as Mp3s that were rejected due to a mod using Winamp without the ogg-player-extension to view sound files:
http://www.roblox.com/Wave-battle-Ride-on-Loop-item?id=142291859
http://www.roblox.com/Demolished-WWW-Area-ShadowMan-Stage-Loop-item?id=142291846
http://www.roblox.com/Mega-Man-X-8-Title-theme-Loop-item?id=142291725
To clear up confusion, one moderator was using Winamp with the ogg-player-extension, and the other wasn't, so those sounds were deleted.
Making this update would take 10 minutes or less, even better the reason to do it. |

"Un-loopable"
When you insert the sound ingame there is an option to loop it.
But I still support because the more options the better. |

What I mean by "un-loopable" is a perfect loop - the loop that you hear when you test it in audacity. There is a property on the "Sound" object called "Looped", and no, that's not what I mean. :p
Thanks for the support, Zeph. |

I hate those silent gaps in MP3 loops. I totally know what you're talking about. Yeah, ogg files would be awesome to have. |

It would be allot better for those gaps to be gone in those files. and possibly more better roblox reputation.
Without ogg support:

At this point, when we allow audio to be 2 minutes long, is there really a need to loop songs for longer than 2 minutes? |

@Gordonrox24
I think you meant to post on the 6 minute sound request thread. (Indeed, we have no need for sounds longer than 2 minutes.)
We're talking about ogg files, how they loop SHORT sustained sounds better than MP3s. |

Looping two minute songs, such as simple guitar playing can be nice for just background music in a game, as well |
