Song of the Week - WEEK 97 Voting/WEEK 98 Nominating

Oh man, the uploaded file for Black Belt's Boss Theme sounds pretty butchered. I was bothered with the poor encoding quality enough that I made my own. This is how it's supposed to sound like! Care to use that instead?

On to voting. A very good bunch of tracks this week, though there were a few I didn't care much for.

2 points: SUDEKI Original Soundtrack - New Brightwater
1 point: Black Belt (SMS Game Rip) - Boss
1 point: Kameo - Elements of Power (Game Rip) - Chillin' in the Trainer's Hut
1 point: Love Escalator Original Soundtrack - Rocket punch
1 point: Within a Deep Forest (Game Rip) - Diamond Meditation

I ripped this track years ago ( I think with Massage?), so that might explain the encoding issues; I'm not sure, cause my ears don't tend to be sensitive to the difference with that respect. Anyways, thanks for picking me up! And if I remember right, there's a sticky dedicated to ripping techniques that I might wanna take a peak at, is there not?

The Official Emulation Audio sticky is a great place to start for emulating all kinds of different formats (or just grab the all-in-one Chipamp for Winamp). Then it's an easy process of converting the format into WAV/MP3 using your preferred player and lame/out_lame or what have you. For example, this thread over at SMS Power! sums up how to encode VGZ to MP3 nicely. Glad to be of help.
