I found this the other day and I think you guys will enjoy this. No. 75 is one of my personal favs. Tell me what you think!

Got around to rounding up my physical vgm CD ownings, behold!

YOU HAVE THE MYST SOUNDTRACK?? I'd like to hear that!
by hcs at 12:02 AM EST on November 7, 2008
Heh, yeah, I actually found it in Barnes & Noble, which surprised me.
It isn't hard to find online, or do you want a lossless rip? If so I can put it up in the soundtracks thread in a bit.

My father is visiting tomorrow, decided to straighten up to fool him into thinking that I'm a responsible adult.

Over the weekend, I spent some time (finally!!) converting the Tetrisphere USF set to ADX. "Why in the world would you be crazy enough to do that?!" some may ask. The reason is that I wanted to be able to listen to Tetrisphere in Rockbox, looped. I was going to upload the *.bat files I created (I made one for converting it to ADX, and one for LOGG) along with the LOGGs, but I forgot to bring my flash drive with me today.

The other thing I worked on (much easier I should point out) was the "Air" rip (I believe Knurek ripped it). I took the NWA files and compared them with the Dreamcast ADXs (the ADXs were like, 11 khz... Blah) and based my loop points off of those. Again, I was going to upload the OGGs, but they're on the flash drive I forgot to bring. Also, since Air's loop points are stored in the INF file, they were fairly easy to convert. Only 4 files (01, 15, 24, and 26, IIRC) couldn't be looped with that, as they either required a modified WAV file, or they contained extra data. On that note, 24 was really easy to do, since it contained all the data I needed. I simply copied the loop point from the ADX (well, Audacity converted the sample count (how loops are stored) from 11 khz to 44 khz for me) and as near as I could tell, it fit perfectly.

Anyway, since I have (finally!!) successfully looped some files to ADX, I might be able to do some more. But I'll have to wait. It's somewhat time consuming, and I got bored.

That reminds me. In regards to writing a program that finds loop points, it occured to me. Couldn't someone write a program that converts a sound file (WAV) into a picture of the waveform? I figure that should be easy (I'm sure there's plenty of resources that can do that). Once you have it in a picture form, use some method to compare the picture to itself and find where sections contain similarities. Ideally, if the program in question creates a high enough resolution picture, and can compare the picture accurately enough, it should be able to find the loop points. From there, it'd be "x pixels = samples" to deduce the actual sample count needed for the loop.

I know HCS was researching various ideas for an auto-loop-finder, but I don't know how far he got with it. Maybe that idea would be useful? Mouser X over and out.

One of the things I was researching with loop detection was seam finding for pictures (to auto-join parts of a panorama), actually. Didn't get anywhere with it.
Great(?) minds think alike! by Yoshinkeru at 4:32 PM EST on November 10, 2008
If this is the same thing I've been thinking of, then great! I've been wondering for a long time if it were possible to write a program that would automatically detect a loop point in an audio file.

I'll say it once more: I'M NO PROGRAMMER (it seems), so I couldn't do something like this myself if I tried!

If you have to learn programming, the best way is to have a particular application in mind. This would be a good way to learn while figuring out why all the naive solutions don't work too well :)

Added more stuff to my SGB database including more enhanced games.
