Gunbound Classic Soundtrack (VBR MP3, Badongo)

Here’s a rare soundtrack: all the music from the classic version of Gunbound from back in 2001.

-Technical Data-
Format: MP3, Variable Bit-rate (8-128kbps)
Sampling Rate: 22kHz
Resolution: 16-bit
Channels: Stereo

I should mention that the original soundtrack from Gunbound was originally encoded at 128kbps and at a sampling rate of just 22kHz, compared to 44kHz for CD-Quality. The VBR encoding was to make the file sizes smaller, but they still sound just as good as the originals.

There is a bit of a story on how I managed to extract the music from the Gunbound game files. I was just browsing the game files as I really wanted the soundtrack. I came across a file called "sound.xfs". Out of curiosity, I kept changing the file extension, starting with .WAV and a few others and tried playing the file through Windows Media Player. The MP3 file extension did the trick and I quickly converted it to uncompressed .WAV sound for easier editing (I was working with a 600MHz Celeron back in 2001 with a mere 64 megabytes of RAM and Nero Wave Editor) and also so no quality would be lost. I broke up the sound file into several pieces, making each full song play through twice and then fade out on the third pass. Lastly, I converted the new music files into MP3 using the highest quality settings available.

I should have posted this ages ago, huh?

My favorite tracks from this album are #7, #8 and #10.

EDIT: Also, if the link goes dead, just ask me and I’ll re-upload the soundtrack. ‘Tis not a problem. 🙂

Thank you so much!
Makes me miss the old GunBound…

Sadly, I do not have the soundtrack for those variants of GunBound. I certainly did try to extract the music from those games, but my exploits were unsuccessful. Sorry. :shrug:
