Lol, you are wrong on this one.

Here is the deal. There is ingame ambient music and there is cutscene music in this game. PC version stores these categories of music in different vpp-packs (music.vpp contains only the ambient part of the music), while PS2-version contains both kinds in ONE vpp-pack.

Now, it is evident, that you have ripped only the ingame ambient half of the music in PC-version. Hence – the difference in the quantity of tracks.

Yes, I admit, that PC-version lacks a couple of ingame ambient tracks, which are present in PS2-version (iona-interior, some track from Wolong and, maybe another one or two tracks). However, the omitted tracks are short, insignificant and, basically, are just the remixes of some other already existing tracks.

Apart from that, PC-tracks correspond to PS2-tracks surprisingly well. Those tracks, which are 22.050 kHz in PS2-version are of the same sample rate in PC-version (and visa versa). Those, which are 44.100 kHz – also. It is especially interesing in the light of the fact, that in "Red Faction 1", there was a clear distinction between PC and PS2 tracks: PS2 tracks were 44.100 kHz ADPCMs and PC – only 22.050 kHz ADPCMs (however, PC version contained extended remixes of some tracks).

Oh, goodluck then. 🙂 Will wait.
