PopCap games usually store all music data in one little .mo3 file. This is NOT a standard MP3 and it will not play in a standard music player app.
MO3 is a special tracker file.
Open in OpenMPT. It will convert to IT, S3M, or XM, because MO3s cannot be edited directly. Available at openmpt.org
Encode back to MO3 using the MO3 encoder available at www.un4seen.com/mo3.html
MP3 and OGG compression in MO3 requires separate encoders which are also available at that site. These formats are used in MO3s to further reduce file size. If you do not download any of these encoders, you can only use the Lossless compression option.
Note that there are specific tracker order positions in which games start playing each track. You can take note of these positions from the status bar at the bottom of the OpenMPT app. In the new file, arrange the music's order in recognition of the specific positions. Also modify any Bxx commands in the patterns to make sure they still loop properly.
More details may be released soon.
