the sound quality is the same as the wav files that you find on mod db, so it’s better to DL it on this platform

Oh, I was hoping they were sounding better. Seems not to be the case

So, no upload necessary?

FLAC is a narrow free way to quality, take it and you will not be deceived. Foobar2000 is your guide to rip CD use it widely…

Thanks for the tip but for my own purposes I am quite content with MP3 (VBR, high quality with EAC). I don’t think the mp3players that I use process FLACs, and even they would I could put less on it. And I can’t tell (or, don’t mind) any difference in quality between MP3-VBR and FLAC anyway.

I might upload the uncompressed .WAV files, in a few .zip or .7z archives., if that is small enough to pass a possible size limit. But not now; I’m at work.

Btw I have been playing the ambient tracks of the various houses / spaces (Liberty, Kusari, Independent, Tau, Omega etc.) for years, in a compilation with spacy ambient. I looped every file three times, so it was like 4:30-5:00 per track (I only used the ambient, not the ‘danger’ and ‘combat’ sequences.) On the CD there are suites for each house/space; the ‘danger’ and ‘combat’ sequences are included too these as well. For personal use I think I will edit some ambient-only versions as well. If these work out well, I might upload them too.

I just noticed that I cannot upload files with a size exceeding 1000k, so I had to make my own website. The .7z archives can be found over there.

@W0dk4, FriendlyFire & other admins/mods: feel free to copy the files to over here.

Thanks for uploading! You mixed up the extensions, though. If you change them to .7z the downloads work

I did?? My apologies and thanks for the feedback! It was a hasty job after quite an exhausting late shift at the asylum And I used an older webpage I once made as a template, which featured .zip files.

Anyways: fixed it.

You should be able to upload the archives directly here: http://the-starport.net/freelancer/download/submit.php?cid=6

I’d appreciate if you tried and let me know whether that part of the site even functions anymore. It’ll also let me approve the downloads

It doesn’t seem to work, FF. I got a blank screen (with some mozilla-generated error messages in it)* just when I tried to upload one of the files in a post in this thread.

*this:

Indeed I forgot, on the download page that I put up, to correct the file extension from .zip to .7z; that is fixed now

!! NOTICE !!

I just discovered that the tracklist on EAC’s online database was not entirely accurate: the Kusari and Rheinland suites were confused. I’ve corrected this and reuploaded the .7z archive, but if you downloaded it already, you might want to correct the filenames.

Indeed there is a bonus DVD included. I haven’t taken the time yet to have a look at it! I’ll be having the night shift this week, and it seems like a cool thing to do when I come home, early in the morning.

If there is more relevant (and easily ripped) audio material, I’ll upload that as well.
