I just wanted to thank you for your full soundtracks with Synthesia. They help me greatly in learning things on guitar as I don't have the best ear for notes but can read the notes off and use the visual reference.
Foobar rocks, a lot of the songs I listen to have only been uploaded to TH-cam ONCE over a decade ago, so the audio quality is really starting to show Getting a GBA plugin on Foobar was one of the best decisions I've made
Great video! I'm not completely clueless how digital audio works but I still learned something about filesizes, support and something I never thought about: tagging. I don't listen to a massive amount of game music, yes there's some songs here and there but I do want to start building a library in the near future. I feel like this is a good start towards that goal
I get that Japanese culture is different and they’re super protective over their rights but Nintendo needs to understand the reason we keep uploading their music is because we actually want to listen to it and not pay $120 for overseas shipping or buying at third-party where they don’t get the money to begin with
I have a good video idea. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, some tracks returing from Melee (Princess Peach's Castle, Rainbow Cruise, Brinstar Depths, Green Greens, Mother, Icicle Mountain, Super Mario Bros. 3, Fire Emblem, Dr. Mario, and Battlefield) were edited from their original versions, with varying degrees of changes. All of these changes were reverted in Smash 4, although in Ultimate, Battlefield (which was missing from Smash 4) still uses the Brawl version. It would be fun to see you give your thoughts on all these changes
for any PC game that uses modules to store its music, it's always better to play them back through a module player or an actual tracker XMPlay is good if you just want a simple drag and drop player, but if the game has logic that modifies the music based on in game events, you won't be able to listen to them properly OpenMPT is a tracker that can play most PC module formats, including some compressed formats as well, with little to no playback issues it's mostly drag and drop as well, with a few options to fine-tune your experience
No way I just took 7min to write a comment about this, only to 1 second later see that someone already wrote the same thing 3 days earlier xd Thanks for mentioning it here!
8:00 that exact problem made me write a complete list of all the songs I like (every one of them yes) neatly ordered in a txt file. I still have to add them back in my playlists but at least I know which ones are missing
there's a website called "quite a playlist" that can help you identify which videos have been deleted! I spent way too much time managing my playlists here on TH-cam but it's definitely much less of a struggle now... Not sure if it works with private likes but you can either send a whole playlist or just the missing video link ✌🏼
the only thing i hate about youtube game music is the fade out, i would 100% prefer if i just ended, so i could loop it forever withouth needind the extended videos as it occupes memorie of my phone, yeah, i downloads them
Not a tech support post but well over half of the foobar2000 components can't be installed on the latest stable or preview versions. Edit:I thought about what I was doing wrong for 5 seconds and figured it out. I'll keep the post up as a sign of shame though.
The .song files in Tales of Symphonia on GameCube still have never been transcoded ehoch is ashame, because the soundtrack is different than the way the remasters arranged them.
Its a custom sound engine iirc. People rarely ever wanna crack sequenced formats. GC's JaiSeq is still being worked on, Wii NW4R still needs to be recorded using SoundPlayer (also applies to 3ds, WiiU, and Switch), and DS was a fluke since a game left SDK files in its binary which allowed for the 2SF format in the first place.
I'd rank sound types like this (highest being best): 5.) Streamed/ CDQ 4.) PCM/Sample based 3.) FM Synthesis 2.)Wavetable 1.) PSG 0.) Beeper/PC speaker
I use either TH-cam Music or Apple Music (former is free but slightly worse, later is paid but slightly better) so that way I can rip music in streamed format and upload them to my library. The library is cloud synced and I can play it back wherever I go without storing the files on all my devices. On YT Music, the files are lossy (20khz) but the cloud storage more than makes up for it. Once the music is in my library, I can add it to playlists and do whatever I want with it. I can even add the music to my Liked Songs playlist and have it shuffle with regular artists like Future, JPEGMAFIA and De La Soul. Best of all the music worlds all for either free or 10 or so bucks a month.
It does, though I believe you need to have premium. You'll have to add them to playlists and download said playlists to listen to them across all devices.
Any reason why? They are a fair amount larger than flac for identical sound quality and have little to no tagging support. I find wavs to be fine as an intermediate step between ripping and cataloguing but that’s about it.
Great video!! I like listening to the Unreal (1998) OST in OpenMPT so I can see how it's composed (and steal the samples) but I love the note you ended on. 😚🤌
Dublincalif making high quality essay type videos is a game changer
yoo its the real serponge! funny seeing u here

Foobar2000 is my favorite music player, especially on mobile. I have my entire FLAC collection on my iphone through it.
same, sadly I updated the app a few months ago and it deleted all my playlists, shame

You're underrated AF. This video was actually helpful, and the editing was clearly high effort. Thanks for this vid!
Me and the boys recording music playing through our headphones onto our DSes using the video camera to listen to later:
And now we can listen to VGM on Nintendo Music!
The GOAT of vgm is back

i use the internet archives 'High Fidelity Emporium - Soundtracks' if I really wanna hear vgm in its best quality
i like this, but please also upload piano tutorials too
What are the best place to download VGM? I’m talking broad spectrum old and new?
I would say khinsider for sure, has pretty much everything and is being added to daily
Probably KH insider
Don't respond to the FBI agent
@@Treeman3 Ya got me ✋😅✋
@@joris1111 Already expected someone to mention this site!
why don't you just, download the youtube video files?
Mainly because they are in less quality and if you like tagging you have to do the tagging from scratch
He explained at the beginning, you're at the mercy of the uploader for audio quality.
Lossless audio is out of the question
Plus the file size heavily adds up, can speak from experience
Quality degradation, and larger file sizes id assume
Awesome
I think some newer video games have their music on Spotify as well, can Spotify play local files? Anyone have experience and/or opinions about that?
It does, though I believe you need to have premium. You'll have to add them to playlists and download said playlists to listen to them across all devices.

You can't beat video game music on piano!!! Not that I'm biased or anything!!!
I prefer .wav files
prefido in to for the .WAV eu foobar2kk yes . áudio melhor brasil :v
Any reason why? They are a fair amount larger than flac for identical sound quality and have little to no tagging support. I find wavs to be fine as an intermediate step between ripping and cataloguing but that’s about it.
For 32-bit audio, WavPack is the king!

Real music better
