I hope to have them soon but there are some things you might want to know before downloading them.
The Ragnarok Online II O.S.T. rip that I found has no log file or CUE sheet. :(
The Memory of Ragnarok OST does come with both a log file and a CUE sheet, as does the Ragnarok Online Piano Arrange.
There are two other albums that I forgot to mention: Ragnarok Online Soundtrack (APE+CUE) and the Eien no Story / Ragna Girls (APE+CUE+LOG).
negatory
What do you have to offer? Anything in flac?
I have plenty of stuff; just not all here. Give me some ideas.
jelbo: fyi I just got my copy of Okami OST, ripped it per CyberSpark's tutorial. All of my tracks match your CRCs except for track 23 on disc 4. Since the test and copy (and a subsequent test) came out the same I guess it isn't something temporary. There is a little scratch on the disc which might be the issue, but the track sounds fine. I'll be interested to compare the rips and see if it's just a byte out of place or something.
Cool, I just updated that tutorial today, I'm constantly updating that thing, I just finished adding a "Rip Enhancement" portion. :]
Could you possibly explain more details about track 23 of disc 4? maybe I can help.
Edit: Just out of curiosity, would you say that it took you a long time to set everything up using the tutorial? Might you have an estimated time? I'm just wondering if people will look at it and think that it's too long and not use it.

I'll pass a link to the original track in a moment. I want to search about a way to dump tags to a file so I can give you those as well :) Unless you like tagging yourself ;)
/edit: can't seem to find a way to dump tags to files which can be applied later on, I guess it's more some Linux thing.
/edit2: Here's my original track 23 of disc 4: http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=PGCCDZL7 I removed the tags so it should be as I ripped it.
edited 7:53 AM EST February 8, 2009
I'm happy with the tags pulled from AccurateRip or freedb or whatever EAC pulled them from.
About those cue files, can you give me some hints to make batch files/scripts that can alter text inside files? I can only make batch files do file
operations, not search and replace actions within files, and that's what's needed.
What would be the format of Mother3i? FLAC would be great, unless there's a way you can remove the DRM and transfer the M4P files. That would be greater.

I'm uploading it now
No need to upload anything since you were expecting FLAC, and I don't have it in FLAC.
(sorry if I got your hopes up)
Can I interest you in:

in flac?
METROID PRIME & FUSION ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKS and Sonic Team - 2001 - Sonic 10th Anniversary in EAC lossless.
I'm willing to upload the Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack Platinum Version, I have that one in EAC lossless and the archive includes high quality scans.
But I don't own the 2 albums your looking for, I got them off torrents.

It's been stuck at 99.9% forever, but most songs are completely available. Why is finding lossless Ys albums so hard?

Final Fantasy Vocal Collections I -Pray-
Please use the tutorial for ripping these CD. :)

I'm not a fan of requesting, nor am I a fan of lossless (it takes a lot of HDD space, and I don't have much left). Even so, I consider those albums worth it. Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help out here. Mouser X over and out.
About those cue files, can you give me some hints to make batch files/scripts that can alter text inside files? I can only make batch files do file operations, not search and replace actions within files, and that's what's needed.
I was going to use the standard Unix tool sed. There's probably a Windows version if you want to go that route.
Sonic Team - 2001 - Sonic 10th Anniversary
Archives will be taken down in 1-2 weeks so you know (I don't pay for the subdomain, as such I don't wanna leech all of my friends bandwidth by hosting the files.)
Edit: Awesome rips, they were done proper. :)
lol, Genesis hardware recordings.

I have a lossless copy from a torrent at home (aka not here.) That game's OST is especially annoying because of the CD copy protection.
Thanks, I'm interested in getting this one but I didn't know about the copy protection. Would you happen to know if this includes log+CUE?

Does anyone have this version of the album? Unlike the OST, this album contains 9 tracks exclusively by the band CoLD SToRAGE.

I'm looking for EAC lossless rips, where possible. =)
edited 2:58 PM EST February 14, 2009
Anyway, I too want the multi-dimensional Sonic Adventure 2 Original Soundtrack if anyone has in FLAC lossless, preferably ripped with EAC.
Tell me Elven, what do those other two soundtracks sound like? There are so many video game music sites going under and so I have trouble finding this type of music. :(
They clip. Even the godly iTunes-only tracks (<< sarcasm) clip. "Tatsumairi" is the most blatantly terrible. Listen to the left channel! Scratchy scratchy! If you can't tell, do yourself a favor and get better headphones.
It's probably due to rushed production. The whole album sounds washed-out. Shigesato Itoi and Shogo Sakai just lost some major points. Granted, I'm assuming that iTunes previews are pretty close to the quality you get at purchase.
The album sounds like they sent lossy files to iTunes for encoding AGAIN to sell. Extremely disappointing, because the arrangements themselves are great.
Rockman X Command Mission Original Soundtrack
SEGA TUNES Vectorman
Please rip those albums using this tutorial
Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack Complete Box
This doesn't have to be ripped all at once, it can be uploaded over time. Please refer to this
EAC tutorial for instructions on how to rip EAC lossless.
LOL. I know what some of you are thinking: "is this guy out of his mind?!", and yes. :D

fridgey posts his public key, you encrypt your email address with his public key and post it here, fridgey decrypts it with his private key (which only he has). The only point of trust here is that the messages that appear to come from you guys come from you, doesn't require a channel to be any more secure than that. (Typical implementations have a few additional layers such as encypting by the private key for validation purposes and a trusted middleman whose keys are already known to both parties who can provide the keys).
And it was a joke, it'd be total overkill.

If I continue to be a 'nuisance', please tell me, but also, please request more, I might have some of the soundtracks that you guy and gals are looking for. ;-)

Does the Super Mario World recording actually sound better than the SPCs? CD sample rate, but was the source higher quality music (aside from the sample rate?)
I don't think they do. The soundtrack has better sound quality from what I can tell for all of the tracks featured on it, that includes the BGM and Sound effects. Also, this is a 2-Disc album. The first disc contains a complete Jazz arrange of music from Super Mario World, and Super Mario 1-3, that in itself is worth it. :-)
I'll try to up it today and you can tell me if it sounds any better then the recording.
it's not like your going to get hacked or anything
Also, I don't check my email often. Actually, you'd have a better chance of me seeing your request by getting on the #usf IRC channel and asking in there. Even if I'm not on, I still read the logs. Mouser X over and out.
Mouser X, I'll e-mail you tomorrow when I can get back on my computer.
And The Black Mages, which I got at the same time.
If you still have the original archive with all of the files from this rip, you can use the program called HkSFV. This will allow you to create and inspect an MD5 file which, when inspected, will reveal any errors that could have occurred during data transfer over the internet. This can be uploaded separately and will take only seconds for the whole procedure. You may do the same for The Black Mages if you'd like, which I'd also like to thank you for. :-)
I will inspect the log files some more tomorrow but I wouldn't worry about the track missing from the AccurateRip database, as long as AccurateRip didn't return an error.
Btw, I should have some or at least one of those Ragnarok soundtracks that you had requested from me uploaded sometime tomorrow, remind me (bump this thread) if I don't have it up by the end of the weekend.
Anyway, I've really worked quite a bit on getting the tags absolutely right and making batch files with corresponding .m3u/.md5 files to switch between English Game Titles and Literal Translation Titles. hcs, would you be so kind to add my tags to your files using the linked batch/tag files and place my 'switching' .bat files next to your set? I really made them with the general audience in mind :)
I guess the .bat's can be renamed to Linux flavoured ones because they contain general metaflac commands.

CyberSpark: flac contains its own consistency checks, so as long as you have 218 files you can run flac -t on them to be confident, in fact the file level check is an md5 of the decoded data! But I can throw the md5 up if you insist.
jelbo: I don't want to change the files now that they're online, since it has a good chance of screwing with someone's download. I'll put your tagging batches along with the files so people can use them if they'd like.

True, however, MD5 files are more sensitive to errors and have the added benefit of checking themselves for errors as well as checking other files that are not .flac, it'll check every other file in the archive (if selected) such as image files and log file, CUE file, .ect. But anyway, it's just a request, it will be really easy to do though if you're willing. :-)
Hey jelbo, hows it be. :-) I'm interested in an EAC lossless rip of the soundtrack, but hey, the more 'complete' the archive the better. Since you put so much work into setting up the archive to have all of the nice extras, they're more then welcome. :-D
This is not really all that important, but if anyone's has any high quality scans I'd be interested. Again, if you don't already have them or don't plan to create them, it's perfectly fine without.
OK, I got the Ragnarok Online II O.S.T. uploaded! One small thing: I accidentally named the archive "... [FLAC]" when really the files are .ape format (another type of lossless), that's all. :)
As mentioned before, the archive unfortunately does not contain a log file or a CUE sheet (synonymous with EAC lossless rips), it's good for playback but you won't be able to inspect the rip nor reconstruct the original data as it was laid out on the source disc. :/ I will update if I ever do find an EAC lossless rip of this soundtrack but the chances are slim considering that there were only 1000 copies made.
Enjoy.

Edit: I'll be uploading some other Ragnarok Online stuff a little later, my next upload will be the Super Mario World soundtrack which contains everything good about a rip. :D Just like the Super Mario Galaxy rip that was uploaded earlier, there will be HQ scan, LOG+CUE, and an MD5 file, this is a 2-Disc album. For those of you that don't know, the first disc on this album is a complete Jazz arrange which is pure awesomeness. :D
I'm not sure when I'll have it up but hopefully it'll be soon. Cya.
Edit #2: Hey hcs, really quick: could you tell me the Catalog Number for The Black Mages album? apparently there are two different printings of this album on VGMdb and I wanted to know which one your rip is from. Thanks.

This one was nabbed from a torrent long ago. I'll seed as long as possible. My usual max upload is 40 kbps.

I should warn you about something first before you download. Windows has trouble with long files names, and the file names for some of the songs on the second disc are pretty long. As a result, the MD5 file that's included in the archive may not detect those particular songs as being present or you may even have trouble deleting them from your computer (Unlocker will fix that). Rest assured, all of the files are in tact and can be played back as normal (tested this on foobar2k), no data is missing or corrupt, it's just stupid Windows' reaction.
But anywho... the archive is complete, having all the wonderful things you'd want in an EAC lossless rip! (FLAC encoded audio files | 2 log files | 2 CUE sheets | 1 MD5 file | 1 M3U file | HQ Scans). This is a rare out of print CD; so I suggest snatching it up while the link is still alive. :D

I realize there's a stream rip of the stuff, but I'd like to know just what was contained in those 14 little tracks, since it's rumored that they were extended versions of what was in-game.
Anyone know anything about this? FLAC, maybe?
Which is the preferred site for uploading such things, the tracker is not for OSTs from what I can tell.

I have an idea, simply rename the tracks to "273 SFX Batch A.flac", all the way to "296 SFX Batch X.flac", and have the long filenames covered in the tags, via Winamp? (or whatever player supports embedding said tags) ;)
Suggestion; should be taken with a grain of salt or whatever...
