When I was developing and debugging my game, the game.PlayMusic("somemusicfile") lines worked fine.
With the compiled game, these script lines take a lot of time (five secons or so) to run. May it be because the music files are too big (and they're compressed on the music.dcp file)  It will work faster with these files uncompressed?
The original music files are ogg files, from 5 to 15 MB. What's the best file format and file size for a better efficiency?

I think the size of music files doesn't matter, OGG files are the best for WME (IMHO).

You shouldn't compress music files inside the package that contain the ogg files (in ProjectManager go to menu Project->Project settings->Filters tab), you could see there a text field named 'do not compress'. You should have a text like this "*.wav;*.ogg;*.png" (without quotes). Try to see if that's your problem.

you shouldn't compress png files? Are there any other files that should be skipped in the compression process like this?

[odnorf]

Well, png files are already compressed so there is no need to try to compress them again. The same applies to other files like jpg, ogg vorbis, ogg theora etc

Thanks a lot.
