Okay, i've tryed to use a MP3 file under sauer, to one of my maps. Sauerbraten can't read it !

I've understand the fanatic's music is in OGG. How convert my mp3 in an ogg file ?

First off, there was no need to create a new thread, also you could have tried reading the manual, its all there. Next time post this question in the General thread.

Ok, MP3s from my understanding do not play in Sauerbraten. I think they used to when it used fmod but it now uses SDL_mixer.. so you will need to download a copy of Audacity. Open your mp3s in there and export em as oggs. rename them numbers, if you have less than 15, cool, if not then you have to modify the default_map_settings. also my advice to you is, dont bother. save some hard disk space and fire up your favourite media player and play the mp3s in there. then in sauerbraten just type music into console and fanatic's music will stop playing.

Although Passa is of course absolutely right I need to add :

linux sauerbraten does play MP3s - no probs.
I've also written a Script-PAK which handles all music to be played; gives you control to skip ahead and back, change playback-method (fwd, bck, rnd) and the likes.
It also does Keyboard-Layout switching ... I wrote it for myself but have published it on quadropolis.us - http://www.quadropolis.us/node/218

So if you'd prefer to keep control over the music in sauerbraten you might try it out - but be warned : there still are a lot of limitations to this approach -
files must be reachable via a subdirectory of $sauer$/packages/ for example.
Again linux life is easy - soft-link them.

The limit of "15" Passa mentions is just due to the "playasong" alias - see default_map_settings.cfg and adapt to include your files.

concept:
alias song_names "file1 file2 file3"
alias playasong [
alias tix (+ 1(rnd 18))
if (< $tix 16) [
concatword "fanatic/" $tix ".ogg"
music $s playasong
] [
alias myx (- 15 $tix)
at $song_names $myx
concatword "mysongs/" $s ".ogg"
music $s playasong
]
]

Open Audacity, then go Edit>Preferences>File Format tab and look at the middle of the dialog. It will have the OGG Export Quality. The default is 5, change it to 3 or 2.

1) Do you want to serve/start a new game or just join? I don't understand.

2) No, there is currently no way to import MP3s into the game. Just turn off the must in Sauer and run your player at the same time.
