Are you VGM perfectionist?

If you're a VGM perfectionist, why promote FFShrine? After all, Sarah's ID3 tags are all over the place, half of the albums are incomplete, and the whole thing is just farcical. Not that this is my only reason for hating that site...

Anyway, I'm quite a perfectionist, particularly when it comes to composer tags, and mostly use OSTs ripped by myself or downloaded from actual reliable sources rather than game rips.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Because currently GH is one of the largest VGM archive in the internet, plus it's direct download. It will be easier for laymen instead of using FTP, mIRC, etc. True, the ID3 tags maybe not really complete and some albums are incomplete, but hey, I wont complain anything.

Btw Sarah told us at the forum she got all the OSTs through VGM Central.
Heh. To test Sarah, my brother temporarily put up a fake soundtrack on the hub of crappy MP3s converted from distorted MIDIs, clearly stating in the ID3 tags that it wasn't real soundtrack and also warning anyone else that attempted to download it that it wasn't real. Of course, the silly cow still put it up on GH for download during her daily and sadly unstoppable downloading fests. That one has no brain, I tell you, as well as no knowledge and respect regarding game music. When it was told the truth, it still did nothing about it.

As you're such a perfectionist, do you have four different versions of E.V.O. albums, when there were actually just two albums released? There are an amazing number of replica soundtracks on there. What about sound quality? There is shocking variability in quality throughout and this must be contrary to your 'audiophilic' tendencies. And, of course, the tags. If you're lucky enough not to have something named '1.mp3', the ID3 tags are 95% guaranteed to be inaccurate anyway. Horrible resource, I tell you.

Though FTP servers, VGM Central, and Bittorrent may look difficult to use, they're really not and there's plenty of documentation to help newbies. Downloading from these places not only guarantees you're going to receive mostly accurately labelled MP3s, but you're also not letting a fool profit from providing shoddy illegal downloads to mostly retarded or ignorant folk. I'm not against downloading if people make an effort to support the artists otherwise, but absolutely detest those that receive profit from it. That's why I principally hate Sarah, not my apparent 'homophobia' (hah, the irony) I was initially accused of expressing by it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
