Sound editing in melee

[Zeus_Da_master]

I've been out of the modding game for about 6/7 months. whats the newest way of doing custom audio editing, has a new easier way been found?

is there an easier way of converting mp3s to hps or ssm files?

have we learned a way to increase the quality n size of the audio files?
