Information:
Again, some explanations are due: This is not just a simple conversion of the DSP files found on the disc, as they have many unnatural loops (clipping, volume changes, channel panning) � which, although you don't hear them during normal gameplay, are very noticeable when listening to the isolated files. What's even more annoying, these problems have been carried over to the OST release in most cases. So yeah, bottom line, I again looped the files manually and patched up all the glitches. Note that this rip uses the higher quality 44KHz OST tracks where it was possible (in that, they were not cut short before the first loop, as happens quite a few times on the CD) and all tracks have two loops and a proper fade-out. I also extracted all beta and trailer compositions from their respective original discs and files, so purists should get excited as we didn't have a lossless corrected release of those before.

This is quite excellent! If you happen to do something like this for "Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour" OR "Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat" (NOT to be mistaken for Donkey Konga), then that would be even more superb. I mentioned those 2 games because they suffer horrific troubles with sound effects.

I might have to even change some of my playlists now that I have THIS gamerip though. Thank you.

Do you plan on doing this for MP2 and MP3?

Kudos for doing this. Can't wait to check out the tracks.

little fellow you need to pay more attention because he has an mp3 rip of it

I think you're the one who needs to read between the lines a little better. I was well aware it's already in mp3 format, but I was referring to Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3. Read more carefully, n00b.

How did you miss the abrieviation for Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3? If he was reffering to FILE FORMATS, he could have asked "do you plan to do this in mp3 and mp2 format?"

I must definitely agree with arigeitsu159 on this one.

Do you have these already hosted anywhere else besides Megaupload? That site breaks off the connection with my computer everytime I try to download something.

To be a bit fair, I know quite a few people who fuck that up all the time, hence why I usually refer to the games as Prime, Echoes, and Corruption.

I haven't had the time to play MP3C yet, so I can't really do an accurate rip of that. MP2E is in the works, though, and will be posted sometime in the near future.

This is pretty damn cool. Hats off to you, Prime Blue, for all the hard work you obviously put into this.

Sweet. I look forward to the Echoes rip. I thoroughly enjoy the MP rip you made available. :)

Thanks a lot for this. I look forward to the other two rips, which have always been in low quality wherever I've found them.

much much respect, thanks ALLOT!

This looks great, thanks for sharing! One question: did you apply any form of volume levelling or normalization to the tracks?

It's been ages since I last listened to the OST and I forgot how awesome it was ("Parasite Queen" has to be one of my all-time favorite boss battle themes), so many thanks for this excellent rip. Will be looking forward to your Echoes rip as well.

Thanks for this! Your Twilight Princess rip was top quality, and this sounds just as good! :D

Downloading this now, thanks!!

This is amazing. Thanks so much!

First of all, thanks for this awesome rip!

Second, I downloaded the FLAC version, and it seems like track 9x-01: Trailer 1 got corrupted at some point in the download. Has anyone else downloaded the FLAC version? Did you get the same issue? If it's just me, could someone please upload that file, so I don't have to re-download the whole rip?

Thanks! This is one of my favourite soundtracks.

The .mp3 and .flac format downloads are both down. After I download, there are no songs for the .mp3 and all of the flacs are corrupt! Could you please fix them? Thanks!

Any news on the Prime 2 rip?

I'm also curious if anyone is able to rip the music to the new Trilogy release. The song on the website for the game is awesome.

Thanks a lot Prime Blue!

Thanks for this. I never played the game, but I do love Metroid.

Any update on the MP2 rip?

fantastic, man! thanks a lot. i've always loved the ambience provided through the metroid tracks, and some tracks are just perfect for my sleep CDs. thanks for the work, hope to see mp2 at any point in the future! heck, if it's too much work, i'll even give it a shot. :)

Thank you #_# I've been looking for a .flac everywhere.

Amazing, thank you so much for the flac, it's like a dream come true

This is greatness, thanks!

I was just wondering if any more sfx are able to be ripped from the game, like Ridley's screams and such, if they are, were you going to ever release those aswell?

Damn, been a minute since I played prime... I didn't remember the ost being this epic, lol. Its no super metroid.... but this is top tier stuffz! Thanks for the high quality game rip!

awesome rip! thanks alot!

Could you reupload the mp3 files?

Agreed! The megaupload link is dead.

how about you try uploading the files to mediafire? or dropbox even.

We need some new links. Megaupload has been permanently shutdown.

Up ! Can somebody re-upload ?

All DEAD Links...

yes, please re-upload

Hey, is there any chance this can be hosted on a site other than megaupload? my computer isn't loading that site for some reason...
