Speeding up LoadSound?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Speeding up LoadSound?

I'm using LoadSound to load both my sound effects (generally as wav files) and for music (ogg vorbis). This works fine, but the music files are bigger and take a while to load. I put up a "loading..." message while I load the music, but even with only a handful of songs, it's already too long a delay to ask anyone to sit through.

Alternative approaches?

I've also noticed that nothing happens while the sound files are loading. If I could do something else while they load, that might help.

TIA,

Use REDi's MaxMod to stream audio.
