I have never seen a "non-MP3 transcoded" version of this shared online before, and wanted to remedy that disappointing situation.

I used a tool to extract the music from a single large file. The extracted music was wav, proper 16 bit (not 4bit Adpcm), but unfortunately only had a sampling rate of 22KHz, so all frequencies above 11KHz are absent. The music certainly ain't going to win the Loudness War; only 1 track (Cathedral) has a peak near 0 Dbfs; the rest are very quiet. Another thing to note is that most of the music is designed to loop and thus lacks a defined start and end (no fades). I might try remastering it because of these shortcomings.

I converted the files to Flac in order to save space, and then added some Tags. No alterations were made to the actual music data.

REQUEST: Is anyone able to share a copy of the msuic from the CD release of Ultima IX (Original Music from Ultima IX: Ascension)? All I can unearth online is a low bitrate MP3 rip; a lossless upgrade would be awesome. Also, does anyone have the music from Ultima X: Odyssey? The game was cancelled, but the music had already been recorded, and was leaked online in lossless 8 years agon on MegaUpload. Of course MegaUpload was taken down by the Feds soon after, and the music is gone :(

Damn, that was fast and unexpected. I only uploaded it 8 hours ago, and posted it straight away. I have never had an issue with gamerips being taken down before, particularly an older game. I will try reuploading.

Actually, the file still seems to be there in my account. Perhaps I just got the syntax wrong?

Abramelin: I've a copy of Chris Field's Ultima X: Odyssey, which is 31 tracks long. I can upload it in a few hours.

Shevchyk, that would be great if you could upload it. One of this board's functions is to preserve old music, like an abandonware site for game music rather than games.

Happy to share artistic goodness that's been abandoned with others when I can!

Ultima X: Odyssey is up for anyone who wants it (https://mega.nz/#!NLBkiaJb!Sd5l3088r7Kb81WBDNFrVHMK0AUOeofeP9XsIZp-WDo)!
