1) Is there a current comprehensive list of which songs from Knights of the Old Republic II are in SWTOR? A list or spreadsheet that lists both original KOTOR2 file names and their SWTOR names would be especially helpful.

2) Might anyone be able to confirm that the KOTOR2 music files in SWTOR are superior to the ones found in KOTOR2?

3) Assuming they are superior: If someone (not me) were to make a mod for KOTOR2 to spruce up the soundtrack, what work (if any) would need to be done besides converting the tracks to MP3 format?

Asking for a friend. Have a wonderful day folks!

The music originally packaged with KOTOR 2 was pretty low quality, but if you download the HQ music patch (https://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-ii/downloads/star-wars-kotor-ii-hq-movie-and-music-patch), the quality is somewhere around MP3 V1 (~225 kbps). By comparison, SWTOR uses OGG q4 (~128 kbps). Ogg Vorbis can sound better than MP3 at similar bitrates, but I think it's safe to say that the HQ music patch is better.

Do you know how this was achieved?

I believe the patch is official. Here's (https://web.archive.org/web/20090221230555/http://www.gamebanshee.com/news/static/EEkpyppEylbOkdFbNo.php) the original announcement. It's also included in the Steam version of the game.

I remember seeing it as a mod... how strange.

You do know it's on Deadly Stream (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/814-hq-music-update-patch/), right Ansem? IIRC, I am the one that uploaded it.

I didn't know it was there - I remember seeing it on the old kotor2 mods website, was it Filefront?
Gosh I feel ancient.

I uploaded it to DS once FF went down. We shouldn't lose the Music and Movie patches to just that site going away... so I made sure that didn't happen. ;)
