It’s pretty hard to make good music with this makecode system, I was wondering if there was a way to maybe import mp3s into the software? Asking cause I suck at using the makecode music program -\_-

Mp3’s take up too much space.

So far from what I’m aware of there is no way or extension to import mp3 files.

Nope, importing mp3s or any type of audio file isn’t something makecode can do.

There’s a converter tool that converts MIDI files to makecode music, but it can be hard to find a good MIDI conversion of a song.
