The engine does not support any audio format aside from OGG and M4A.

Technically it supports WAV too, but you probably don't want to use this.

WAV isn't so bad for SEs in my opinion, but yeah you'd want to stay away from using them for other audio.

You humans make no sense to me, it's just a file type, I can hear the MP3 music just fine, so whats the problem? I dont get it, why change or update something thats not broken... when you humans "Evolve" does your brain start breaking down and cant hear MP3s properly anymore? Pathetic...

If you're still using MP3 in 2016 I have really bad news for you.

The rest of us have ascended. You are the only one remaining. Perhaps you will create your own legacy.

It is not "just a file type", it is a particular method of compressing sounds by leaving parts out. With that come disadvantages. And in the decades since it was devised we have developed better methods that allow for smaller files, more efficient decoding, less distortion. Some of them even don't cost you license fees.

That is not even talking about RM relying on other software and needing to deal with what that does and does not support.

Because better codecs exist that support file sizes just as small, if not smaller, than MP3 without sacrificing as much audio quality.

Get your files in a better format. This isn't 2007 you don't need to download YouTube mp3s

stick the word 'save' in your YT URLs (instead of youtube-dot-com/watch?v=blah, do saveyoutube-dot-com/watch?v=blah) and download the m4a unless you want to somehow hack mp3/wav support into something that was not designed to support it in the slightest.

Alternatively, download the MP3s and convert them

This is not MV's issue, this is an issue with HTML5

Convert your MP3s to a supported format. Not sure what the best program is, but this appears to support batch conversion: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lamexp/

Yeah Construct 2 also have this limitation (due to HTML 5 as TehGuy said): only OGG and M4A.

By the way, It seems that Construct 2 need also OGG even if you have the M4A version.
M4A is for some browsers that not are compatible with OGG.

If you want to deal with the PITA of MP3 royalties, go ahead: http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/

Since you mention Construct 2, they have a pretty good post on the subject: https://www.scirra.com/blog/64/why-you-shouldnt-use-mp3-in-your-html5-games
