Current music:Smash Bros. Brawl OST -- Windmill [The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]

The Smash Bros. Brawl OST is basically Your Childhood: The Soundtrack.

It's also sixteen hours long, so maybe trying to put it on for my weaving music for today was somewhat ill-thought-out.

Edit 1: Six hours in, ten to go. Nominating the F-Zero section of the Brawl OST for weirdest, or at least most distinct songs. I swear I went from full-fledged death metal (with bwaaaaahhh lyrics and everything) to blatant raver techno within two tracks.

Edit 2: About ten minutes after edit 1. Fire Emblem music is pretty. Main Theme [Fire Emblem] probably my single favorite song so far.

Edit 3: Almost seven hours in, nine to go. Forget what I said in edit 2, Power-Hungry Fool [Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance] is my new favorite. HARPSICHORD <3

Edit 4: About three or four songs after edit 3. It's a prettified remix of the pre-"okay now you're in Winters for real" Winters theme! (Like, when you're in Snow Wood Boarding Academy still.) Sooo pretty.... may be my new favorite now, but there's probably going to be six more of them before the night is done at this rate. :(

Edit 5: About 7:15 in. "Porky's Theme" and "Love Theme" are pretty and neat. TOO BAD I CAN'T PLAY THE GAME THEY'RE FROM :[

Edit 6: 7:45 or so in. Pikmin music is pretty. Like, this is soothing.

Edit 7: Eight and a half hours in, seven and a half to go. Over halfway there! Okay, so, Mona Pizza, then Mona Pizza again, then Mike, then Mike again, then Ashley, then Ashley again. It sure was generous to include both language versions of the WarioWare character songs and everything, but Christ, I think we can move on now.

Edit 8: Nine hours in. K. K. Slider's voice is...unusual, but I think I like it. All the Slider songs are amusing and thus entertaining. And on the subject of Pikmin-like soothing prettiness, that one piano Smashville song was absolutely beautiful.

Edit 9: Nine and a half hours in. Okay, they were really cute at first and I can still appreciate what they're trying to do on an intellectual level, but please make the K. K. Slider songs stop now. ._.

Edit 10: About ten seconds after writing edit 9. Saved by Kid Icarus! Hey, this is a pretty neat song.

Edit 11: Oh my God, I've been listening to this soundtrack for ten solid hours, and there are six hours to go.

Edit 12: 11:30 in; Snake/Shadow Moses Island music is neat.

Edit 13: Twelve hours in, four to go. Very tired. Strongly tempted to abort. However, I have work I need to get done anyway, and if I stop now, there's no way I'm coming this close again. I want to say I took this thing in one sitting, dangit. Metal Gear music is even more neat than before.

Edit 14: Oh hey, after only a mere twelve hours and 15 minutes, they're playing actual Smash Bros. Brawl music. So that's what the title theme sounds like!

Edit 15: About three songs after edit 14. So what, Sonic doesn't get remixes? I've been listening to fancy orchestrated versions of classic Nintendo tunes for the last twelve hours, and here we have four Sonic tunes that were pretty much just lifted straight from the Genesis and unceremoniously dumped into the soundtrack. The Genesis doesn't even have good sound!

Edit 16: 12:30 in. Oh, there we go. Wait...hold on. Is that Crush 40? Did they seriously put a Crush 40 song in the Sonic pile?

Edit 17: Thirteen hours in, three to go. I like how Sonic has absolutely nothing between the direct unmodified Genesis Green Hill Zone and the J-Rock. A lot of the latter was pretty cool, though, as sad as I'm sure it is for me to admit that.

Edit 18: Fourteen hours I want to die (music is excellent though, just energy crash)

Edit 19: 14:30 DK Rap Jesus Christ my ears

Edit 20: Holy shit, I did it. Remind me to never, ever, ever do that again. Damn it all, though, I did it. I'm going to bed now. And for the record, the last part of the album was pretty decent too, except for the DK Rap.

Yeah, it's pretty long! But oh man I so love the music!

Methinks the one I got though needs some renaming of files; some of these names aren't matching up with what shows on Brawl! Granted they're close (like the one I have for your song is called Song of Storms, with no other information) so I can at least identify them

At least your copy is labeled. Mine is just A01, A02, A03, B01, etc for the entire soundtrack with just a text file saying oh A is Mario songs, B is Fire Emblem, and so on.

Methinks this could help with that, assuming that guy's files are the same as yours anyways.

That would be them.

The question is if I should actually bother changing tags or renaming everything

It only renames the files as far as I know, you'd have to tag them all yourself. Pain in the ARSE.

I passed all the Kirby songs and that F-Zero one was the only death metal song I heard so far. ^o.O^

It's 3:32 long, the fifth song of the Kirby section in my archive. But I've got the unlabeled one like Dos.

Methink's it's the Gourmet Race one; only one in my collection that's that long :P Oh! This should help if you've got some time on your hands to rename them to something more recognizable than A01 and such

Whoops meant to reply to you, not kilroy.

So first I went into the command prompt and did

dir /b > files.txt

which gave me a list of all the A01.mp3 and garbage in a text file.

Then I copy/pasted the list into an excel spreadsheet.

Then I added a column before it with rename in every cell.

Then I copy/pasted the track list from that page into a column to the right of it.

Then I added another column to the right of that containing .mp3 in every cell.

Then I saved the spreadsheet as a .txt file.

Then I replaced the tabs excel adds when saving as .txt with spaces

Then I replaced the spaces with _ when I learned dos doesn't like spaces.

Then I added the proper spaces between rename and A01.mp3

Then I saved it as a .bat

Then I automatically renamed all the files to the proper names.

Here's that .bat: http://zzt.belsambar.net/dr_dos/brawl2.bat

Swwweeeeeeeeet.

Oh man, but now I need to find that PHP library that lets you read and write ID3 tag info.... and figure out if there's some standard way of attributing the artist/album in this soundtrack for folks on Audiosurf >_> It's already going to be bad enough with some people having copies that loop once and others that loop twice... I wonder if there's any hope of them finally just implementing MusicBrainz....

Genius! This is the kind of workaround creativity that ZZT gets you to think up. :)

I will never understand your resistance to FM audio! The Genesis sounds great and the PC-88 Etrian Odyssey soundtrack does too, darnit X3

also: you have a herculean tolerance for videogame music, and should now be some kind of folk hero for taking that all in one sitting X3

DK Rap? Oh, right. Ugh.

Anyways, why can't you play Earthbound?

I can play Earthbound just fine. What I can't play is MOTHER 3, the GBA sequel that Lucas and the two songs I mentioned happen to be from. This is mostly due to an inability to read Japanese.

Oh! I didn't know they came out with a GBA version :P Yeah, not being able to read Japanese can certainly hamper things! Why can't they make english versions of the neat games?

Speaking of Earthbound, I really need to find that ROM again and see if I can to where I can get out of the first town you start in or something. Never got a chance to play it fully!
