Oddworld Music Rips

Killy · #1 05-15-2006, 12:16 PM

I've recorded the music from the first two games. The completion of these rips is questionable, because recording Oddworld games isn't easy at all - some of you who have tried probably know what I'm talking about. I'm also working on some more Oddworld games and hopefully I'll be able to share those upcoming rips too. Download links are found at the bottom of this post.

I've also noticed that some of you don't know how to open the files. The following is a short tutorial on how to open the files and play the music;
1) The file you download is a .rar file. It's an archive and it contains all the songs.
2) In order to open the archive and view/extract the contents, you will need WinRAR. Download it here.
3) Install WinRAR.
4) Open the archive.
5) Select the folder within the archive and press the Extract button. Extract the folder onto your local harddrive.
6) You no longer need to access the archive in order to play the songs. Dispose of it if you need to.
7) In order to play the songs, you will need an .mp3 player of some kind. Usually, Windows Media Player works, but if it isn't configured properly, you might as well go with WinAmp.
8) WinAmp is the .mp3 player everyone should have. Download it here.
9) Having installed WinRAR and WinAmp, you should now be able to play the songs
10) Still don't get it? Then my life's a joke. Go ahead. Contact me or something.

Here is some information about each rip:
Side-note: Monochrome is my former alias.

I believe you need to wait approximately 50 seconds before a download link appears near the right corner. If a pop-up window is blocking that link, just click the X button of that pop-up window and then download the file. It's all there, just be patient.

Hmm, that's weird, I can download the files without any difficulties...

EDIT: Works fine for me, you need to reaccess the link and wait again. I think you might have timed out while you posted in the forums, that's why the link expired temporarily. It's still there though. Patience..

***Wil*** · #6 05-15-2006, 02:01 PM

Argh! This megaupload thing is a toughie. It's full of framesets and animations that don't appear very nicely to me. It also refuses to download anything onto my IP address. The Oddworld music is once again so close, yet so far…

Keep trying, Killy. Right now this is pretty much the holy grail of the fandom's desire. Except the film and more games, maybe perhaps.

If the worst comes to the worst, I have space you can host your work on.

I was kind of hoping you would say that. I usually run an FTP but with my new computer and firewall nothing is coming in or out through port 21 on this computer...

Links have been updated, the rips are now hosted on Max's webspace. Max, thanks again for helping me out.

EDIT: My bad, the first rip is still uploading, give it another 20 minutes and it should be available for download.

Matriar · #10 05-16-2006, 08:04 AM

I'm listening to them right now and they sound awesome

***Nate*** · #17 05-17-2006, 05:44 AM

Before I download them; how are these different from the last three times I've downloaded rips from these games?

Killy · #18 05-17-2006, 06:12 AM

I don't know, download and see. Or rather, hear. Concerning the Oddysee rip - it's incomplete when compared to the original soundtrack, however I believe the Exoddus rip is closer to completion, because I had collected far more samples than for the Oddysee rip.

If you take a look at the dates these rips were released, you'll see there's well over a year between the releases - meaning there's a huge difference in experience behind the production of these rips.

I haven't listened to any other rips before, I had little luck finding any earlier, but my rips are from the PSX version, which means the music is not from the ported versions and should thus be pure compared to any PC recordings.

you must have alot of time on your hands to do all this

Killy · #20 05-17-2006, 07:52 AM

I beg to differ.

FuzzleByte01 · #21 05-17-2006, 12:04 PM

Great job.

These had to have taken a lot of work and patience. It's great to even have a semi-complete soundtrack for these games. I made a complete soundtrack for Stranger's Wrath once, and it took quite a while to finish. I know that the first two games would've had to have been a great deal more difficult...

odd-dammit! i got WinAmp, installed it, an i still can't play them!!! im gonna go berserk!!it says that there's 0 play time!!! AARRGGHH!!!!!

I really hope you've extracted the files onto your harddrive first. Opening the .rar file and double-clicking a file will only place it in a temporary folder. Hit extract and select a folder.

scrab queen · #24 05-17-2006, 05:24 PM

don't have that option. i may need a whole new computer.

Killy · #25 05-17-2006, 05:31 PM

:

No... I wouldn't go that far. OK, let's start over. You download the file linked in my first post. That file is a .rar file. It's an archive and all the music files are included in that archive. In order to open the archive and extract the contents, you will need WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar351.exe). Download the WinRAR installation file and install the program. After that, open the .rar file you downloaded, select the folder within the archive and then click the Extract button. Then select a path on your local harddrive and click OK. Done.

Killy · #26 07-14-2006, 05:53 PM

I've released a new rip, nothing overproductive like last time though, this is a very small one. It's a rip of Munch's Oddysee for the Game Boy Advance. Please note that, I don't want people asking for a rip of the Xbox version, at least not yet. However, I do plan on ripping it as well, but for now, this will hopefully keep most of you satisfied. There are some really nice tunes in this one.

I do hope you enjoy this one.

I haven't been able to get in touch with Max yet about uploading this one to the server, I need to reconfigure my settings. So for now, I've uploaded the rip to several free online-hosting servers. These links are only temporary, but I'll update them when needed.

I've listened to them all, they are fantastic! How do you rip music from games? I've always wondered how you did.

Is there also a way to rip the music of SW?

I just wonder...
