How do you make your songs a certain size

I'm not exactly sure what an .ogg file is either, but you should be able to open the .sm file with Notepad/Wordpad. Just right click and click "Open With...".

Do you mean length or filesize? To shorten the length you need a music editor (Audacity, CoolEdit, etc.). As far as changing the filesize, shortening the song will make the file smaller, as will resizing any images you have in the folder. You could also compress it (which you need to do anyway to submit it) to make it smaller, though in case you're wondering, compressing a compressed folder doesn't make it any smaller.

.ogg is just another type of music file. odd, cuz i have some on my stepmania and the sms work fine. You might wanna convert it to an mp3 just to b safe tho. go to download.com and search for a convereter, they're usually good with those things. "AMR converter pro" is was I use, it's good and converts between AMR, MP3, WMA, WAV, and OGG.

Files ending in the .ogg extension may be of any Ogg media filetype, and because the format is free, Ogg's various codecs have been incorporated into a number of different free and commercial media players as well as portable media players from different manufacturers.

The term "ogg" often refers to the audio file format Ogg Vorbis, that is, Vorbis-encoded audio in an Ogg container. Other prominent components of Ogg are its video codec Theora, and the human speech audio compression format, Speex.

No ones understands that description, well some of yah... here is my description.
It is just another music format like .mp3 which can better or same or below quality of a regular .mp3. But, .ogg is awesome on Variable Bit Rates (VBR)... It can go all to HD or surround sounds, I think. I haven't explored that area yet. It commonly used for DVDs and Dual Audios .MKVs and .OGM.

If you don't know what .ogg, just stick to mp3 for mainstream music format.

If thats wrong, I tried

How do you make your songs a certain size?

Easy... Texas2089 said the length portion.

BITRATES is the key to your filesize.

32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 and 320 kbit/s <-- general bitrates. They are higher ones of course, but not on .mp3 though.
As you can see the smallest is your smallest filesize you can get, but Horrible the quality sounds as you set low...
And vice-versa with highest...

128kbit/s is that regular set for most .mp3.
With that bitrate you can get
a 1:30 song about 1.37MB
a 4:00 song about 4.00MB
Lets just say 128kbit/s is almost the digits of the length of the song.

I'm 99.99% sure that in this case KHz measures an amount of time (Hz measures frequency so the other .01% of unsureness is if of course you're not talking about frequency, which would probably mean you have no idea what you're talking about )

Ok thanks but i found it

We can convert .ogg into .mp3 but can we do the inverse? I wonder if at the ITG AC in the "Recreatheque of Laval" has some usb port...
