I discovered what it is.

Read carefully:  
_ **mp3 support - 11/30/2001 by Yrgol** _  
_I added Tim “Timbo” Angus’ mp3 to wav converter into bfp. It can be found at [http://tremulous.sourceforge.net/junk/cg\_mp3decoder/](http://tremulous.sourceforge.net/junk/cg_mp3decoder/)_  
_This will allow us to include more music in the download, since each music file will have a smaller filesize._  
_This will not allow you to play your own mp3’s. It is not an mp3 player, it is an in-game utility to convert mp3’s into a q3-playable format._

Reference: [Official Bid For Power Website - Developer Journals - Yrgol's Developer Journal](https://web.archive.org/web/20020205150340/http://www.bidforpower.com/journals/yrgol.php)

What that does is using a .mp3 file inside `music/` and converting into .menu extension (it could be .wav too). It creates a folder and the resulting converted file.

This converter feature works on Quake3e and Quake 3 1.32 - 1.32c vanilla version, but not on ioquake3 (idk why).
