Remove MP3 support from Play Song events #4

Please Check

What problem motivated you to submit the suggestion?

Many new creators use MP3 files when they first start making levels, as it is arguably the most common audio format. RD has had issues with MP3 support for a while now, and recently the editor began autoconverting MP3 files to Ogg Vorbis. This conversion can also be buggy, and produces very inconsistent results.

Suggestion / Solution

My suggestion is that the importing of MP3 files is disabled completely, with a pop-up notifying them that the file must be converted first.

Alternatives & Workarounds

Notifying people in the Discord server about the issues with MP3 files """works""", but often happens too late, after progress has already been made on the level, making the issue more tedious to troubleshoot.

Cross-suggestion, what if instead of disallowing MP3s entirely, the OGG conversion process still happens, just that it happens right when you import one (probably with a prompt), getting rid of the issues people have with desync during export entirely

oh that's actually a great idea, yeah
