Zophar Music Section MP3s now?

[dashrem]

This is new, like as in today or late last night - that or my browser just wasn't getting it.

I've been converting the game music (SPCs, PSFs etc) to MP3s for awhile now, so I surprised when I went to get Diddy's Kong Quest SPCs and saw MP3s there.

If anyone from Zophar see's this, please don't remove the original game files and only use MP3s. They are kinda low quality and would be hard to work with. I don't just do a pure conversion. I tune them up, change EQ, and add some mild reverb. Here is Smiles and Tears from EarthBound for example:

Well, the SPCs are still there and will always be available. No worries. Just click "Download original music files".

The point of the new section is to give people more options, either get the original format files, or listen to the music in the browser, or download MP3s so you don't have to rip them yourself.

It also gives me more options for the future. For example, I'll be able to add features such as playlists and adding individual files to playlists, and sharing your playlists with others.

If you want to publish better quality MP3s on here I can replace the ones on the site with yours, that way you can share your edits with the wider world. Just email a link to the files to webmaster@zophar.net or message me here and I'll put them up.

I don't keep all the tracks. Basically anything that's not a song gets deleted. Is that okay?

[Edman]

You mean you get rid of the sound effects? That is ok. I would think most people are interested in songs.

Or do you mean you only keep a few songs you like?

[dashrem]

I mean I get rid of sound effects or really short musical blips. Generally anything under 30 seconds, though there are exceptions if it's part of a bigger sequence.

[Edman]

That's OK then, I would say most people are interested in the actual songs, and if they want the sound effects, they can always get them from the original SPC, NSF, etc file.

[dashrem]

Okay then. Here is what I have so far. Where should I start? Gonna take a while to upload. Do you have a popular downloads list or anything?

Not yet! I want to make a popular downloads list sometime later on. I just got this section out and its been months of work already It really doesn't matter what you start with

[dashrem]

If I email webmaster@zophar.net does that go right to you?

[Edman]

Yes, it forwards to my personal email.
