Comment on Lets find obscure VG OSTs that deserves more attentions

  Hmm interesting that you say that.

  I tried a few years ago to extract the soundtrack, and my result was utter failure. The codec in the WAVs seemed to be some kind of fucky version of PCM I never managed to decode cleanly. Some attempts produced recognizable outputs, but with lots of noise.

  Maybe some the codec has been included in the common libraries in the meantime or the player you used recognizes the format while the ones I tried didn’t. What player did you use?

    Ah, no I actually had the same issue with the GoG version. I have an original disk which contained the working version. Do you also have the GoG version? And does it play correctly in game for you?

    Either way, I can send you the .flac or .wav if you’d like.

      Oh interesting. I have both, but I don’t remember which I tried on. The music works fine in game, so I thought it was simply a proprietary format they used to mush it all onto one disk, as you did back then.

      I’ll give it another try just for the challenge tonight, but otherwise I’ll happily take you up on your offer, thank you! I’ll let you know!

        Ok, good to know. I’ll try diffing the .wavs from my versions and see what might have gone wrong.

        I checked my two versions and found this helpful site https://green-sky.github.io/anno16_docs/files/music8/

        The conversion works, but the waveform looks odd and they sound a little worse to me. Maybe I did something wrong though
