SRB2 music

[Arf]

I need help with the music.
I like some of SRB2's music, and I'd like to know how to extract them from music.dta.
After that, all I need to do is convert it to mp3 which will be no problem with Switch.

How I'm gonna do it?

(And please, do not direct me to the history page of srb2.org, 'cause there are NO MYSTIC REALM songs there, which are the ones I want. hehehe)

Open Music.dta with a lump editor, and extract all the stuff. After that, it's a simple matter of renaming everything from .lmp to .ogg, then google ".ogg to .mp3" (with quotes) and use one of the programs you find to convert the ogg files to mp3s.


If at any point in that you got lost, you can live without SRB2's music.

I don't know if I said it, But I don't have any program to extract lumps.
XWE can't do it, as far as I know

Use XWE, it works fine.

Yeah, use XWE to extract the OGGs to .ogg files, then use, say, Audacity (Google it, I'm lazy) to convert it from OGG to MP3. That's it. It's really simple after you understand how it's done.

Honestly, this is a pretty legitimate question.

As a reminder, all of the stuff that's not directly ripped from another game (Mario tracks, etc.) is ours and is only allowed to be used in SRB2.

Renaming an Ogg to MP3 does absolutely nothing. Your media player is still assuming it's an Ogg and playing it as such; the file's header identifies it that way. Unless you physically convert it, it hasn't changed forms.

And the fact that your media player played it fine regardless proves that your media player is capable of playing Oggs, and that there is no need for you to convert them anyways, unless you intend on using them in a portable MP3 player or an MP3 CD.

Mystic's link works fine. Thanks.
I still don't know why you said it was a legitimate question, snce I haven't seen anyone contradicting that.
BTW, I'm porting them to mp3 so this MP3 Diskman Reader can, well, read them...

That would explan why Winamp could not play it when Windows Media Player could.

Holly Damn!
I tried downloading the songs and the download stops at half, saying "complete".
But, when I downloaded another file it worked fine.
I suppouse I'll have to extract them with XWE.

That makes even less sense. An Ogg Vorbis decoder input plugin has come standard with Winamp for years now.

Arf, open XWE, Entry > Save As, and rename change .lmp to .ogg. Worjks fine.
