Because I'm a gigantic nerd, I'd like high-quality MP3 rips of the music from some Sega games, particularly the Sonic series (and Chaotix!), Rocket Knight Adventures, and ToeJam & Earl. Any idea where they can be found?

I have 5 CDs full of cart tunes recorded from a REAL Genesis (first model, no TMSS) hardware. It rocks hardcore. Other drivers get jealous of me when I listen to it in the car. They toss money at me in order to give them my CD-R.

Naw, yours relies on the ability of the software authors. These software authors are teenage hacker kiddies. I was going to offer Chaotix MP3s but I guess I won't now since they sound like ass, right?
There is a whole thread of music recordings, I have no idea if any files are still left. I could do recordings, but I'm not a fan of MP3, so you get OGG from me, and my conection sucks for (uploading) big files...
Just give him lossless IMA 4:1. Beats the hell out of wimpy OGG.
IMA ADPCM ? Its not quite as lossless, though it does not sound bad at all. Why do Mac people dislike OGG ?
What makes you think Windows people like it? The format isn't very well supported, that's why. I'd rather have a full WAV than an OGG.
low bitrate OGG sounds much much better than low bitrate MP3, and low bitrate means small file which equals MUCH less waiting for me when uploading, also I can have many more good sounding OGGs on my GP32 than MP3s... OGG seems to be the fav stuff for homebrew makers aswell.
OGG is a very good format supported by the Free Software community: http://www.fsf.org/news/playogg.html
Anyway, it can't really replace lossless formats like WAV/FLAC/APE/whatever, just like JPEG can't replace BMP or PNG.
EDIT: A site that hosts lossless recordings of real MD/G headphone recordings would be nice... :)
Are those whole game soundtracks or just a random favorites? I wouldn't mind paying a little something for a copy of those 5 CDs.Quote:
