Note:

1. Compression and Encryption: RPG Maker MZ typically compresses and encrypts audio files in its original audio folder. This is done to protect the game's assets and reduce file sizes. However, this compression and encryption process alters the format of the audio files, making them incompatible with many custom plugins.
2. Playback Issues with Custom Plugins: The "Simple Music Player" plugin, like many others, is designed to work with standard audio file formats (such as .mp3 or .ogg). When RPG Maker MZ compresses and encrypts these files, it changes their structure, which prevent the plugin from properly reading and playing back these files.
3. Alternative File Storage: To avoid these playback issues, it's mandatory to store your audio files for the "Simple Music Player" in a separate folder, in this case, /media/player. This ensures the files remain in their original, unaltered state, allowing the plugin to access and play them without any compatibility issues.
4. Maintaining File Integrity: By keeping your audio files in a standard, uncompressed format in a dedicated folder, you maintain the integrity and quality of the audio, which is essential for ensuring the best possible experience for players of your RPG Maker MZ game.
5. Custom Plugin Compatibility: Storing audio files outside the original audio folder of RPG Maker MZ is not just a workaround but a recommended practice for better compatibility with custom plugins. This method ensures that your audio files are readily accessible and playable by the plugin.
