Yeah just noticed that. I might only use them for single song stuff I want since I'm not really interested in donating 20 bucks and would be better for what I can't get that is 8 bit through Wiiguy/8BitStereo as I downloaded like 2 dozen albums from there I think lol

maximo310:
Yeah that's true. I mostly use khinsider for obscure arcade stuff that I can't find easily elsewhere, otherwise I look for higher quality stuff if it happens to be in lossless format. That Wiiguy channel does have a lot of good 8-bit stuff there, so I decided to subscribe. His psuedo stereo method does work pretty well.

I usually use this site:

http://www.ost-center.com/ost/jeu-video/

It's a French site, pretty simple to use but there is one little problem, you need to create an account (everything is free) and be logged to see the links to download (usually 4shared or Uptobox link, i pick them up directly with Jdownloader and let that program do all the work). It's where i found all the (overpriced :'() Ar Tonelico OST and those .Hack// i couldn't buy ;).

If you don't mind about having a little work, i'd suggest this:

Step 1: Some sites are specialized on extracting music from roms and making them as a single file. Download those files. Some of them are .nsf (NES) and .GYM (Genesis).

The WinAmp (yeah, i'm old and i still like WinAmp) have plugins that support the playback of some of those files. Install them.

Ok, now you can listen to the original soundtracks as they were playing on the original consoles.

Step 2: Get into the WinAmp options and set the audio out as .WAV. That way WinAmp will open those .nsf or .gym (or any other plugin you might have installed) and record .wav files with each song.

.wav files extracted, all you have to do now is convert them into mp3.

I did this in some Sega Mega Drive files i had (such as DecapAttack soundtrack, i love it) and it worked perfectly.

But that was a long time ago. I assume there are easier ways to do that nowadays.

Here you can find a few players and files. http://www.emuparadise.me/music/

But i don't know if they can extract into .wav or .mp3

Far too much work for me, but thanks for the input lol Actually using MusicBee now since Winamp I think is just too old now, despite using it up till the past month or so. Just started to have some issues with it that were driving me nuts. I know, Winamp was good times. Many years using that over anything else.

MusicBee is essentially like Winamp, but it has better editing capabilities which is way helpful when downloads have things that need to be mass altered.
