Container format or external tag file I'm all in favor of, but I'd prefer avoiding zlib. It wouldn't result in substantial space savings and it would greatly complicate my inevitable port to rockbox.

I still have a bat file that will convert Paper Mario 2 Music to a more readable name, but i never made one that can reverse the names too. And there were 1 or 2 songs I could not identify(but one of them was called Eki which is japanese for train station(long live google), so I guess it's a beta music of riverside station)

I have a magic program that reverses renames in batch files, unren.

That depends on what you're looking for, really. As PokeParadox said, I prefer the original files, even though they're often larger than MP3s. The reason for this is, hey, it's the original files. You can't get better than that. Also, looping support. MP3s don't loop.

On the other hand, if you want it simply for listening purposes, and looping doesn't matter to you, then the recordings/MP3s might be the way to go. The quality difference is often negligible, and the savings in file size might be pretty good as well (I've never done a comparison. I probably should at some point, just to see how much of a difference it makes). Also, you can't play DSPs (and ADPs, AFCs, and PCMs) on a portable player. ADX is supported by Rockbox, but not by anything else. As such, in that regard, the MP3s might be the way to go for you in that regard as well.

Like I said, it depends on what you're looking for. If you want looping support, and "unbeatable" quality, get the original files. If you want compatibility, space saving, and looping isn't an issue, then you'll probably want the MP3s. Hopefully that answers your question adequately. Mouser X out.
Huh? by Mooshykris at 10:03 PM EST on March 9, 2007
What is all of this about MP3s?

All I said is:

Take Pokemon XG: Gale of Darkness,

There is the track "stm_bgm_XDbattle02." I know it is used in Pokemon XD as the Cipher Peon battle theme. So I'd rename it "(insert soundtrack track #) Cipher Peon Battle" and so on.

What I wrote (the post above your own) was not aimed at you. It was in reply to Yoshinkeru, which is why I've quoted him in my post. Notice the small text? So, that's what that was about. Mouser X out.

hcs apologizes deeply for only properly supporting flat mode.

The original files are better, also because of the fact that many recordings have sound effects.
Take Paper Mario 2's battle theme. You can get it on Galbadia Hotel.
But it has Mario going "Owowowowow" at the beginning, the curtain being raised, many battle sound effects, messages, etc. (I can tell it's being recorded from the Goomba ambush at the beginning of the game, where the Goombas try to flirt with Goombella).
Paper Mario 2 Batch by jurassicPieter at 1:51 PM EST on March 10, 2007
Ok, this is the contents of the batch file:
I'm just too tired for uploading it somewhere.
Just copy these lines in notepad and save as whatever.bat in your paper mario 2 files directory.

More on Galbadia Hotel recordings by Yoshinkeru at 10:32 AM EDT on March 14, 2007
In reply to Jouw's post.

Most of them aren't like that, but I know what you mean: I have encountered some where they didn't bother to try to remove any extraneous sound effects from the music. I still don't know why; we want just the music, why can't you record that for us?? It's a cryin' shame, I tell ya.
