Rayman 3: Why did they change the MP3s?

Post by Marley »

I noticed that the MP3s of the R3 soundtrack were re-uploaded into seperate parts.
Trouble is, some parts are missing from these MP3s.
Also, cropping the MP3s has actually made them worse (that's just my opinion).

Would anyone be able to explain why this happened and whether or not the original MP3s will be put back up?
(I'm not saying it's anyone's fault. I'm just curious, that's all).

Huh? Can you tell me what's missing? Because there isn't anything missing as far as I know. :)

I'll explain why the R3 soundtrack was re-uploaded.
I had ripped everything before, but sadly enough, it wasn't very high quality: The MP3s were mono, and had a bitrate of 128kbps.
People also complained about different tracks put together into one mp3.
There was a much better version available ( the one we have now ), and it had a much higher ( variable ) bitrate, and it was stereo.
So I decided to put that one up. :)

It happened a long time ago though, and nothing changed recently :?

Here's a brief outline of what the problem is that I am speaking of.

When the tunes were split into seperate tracks, some of the parts have been lost.
For example, Hovering the Hoverboard (which is now called Funkyboard 1 & 2) is missing some parts.

If you can't really notice the difference, listen to the ones on RayTunes and compare it to this one:

HeadHunter2004 uploaded the original MP3 on YouTube, and it sounds better than the two seperate parts on RayTunes.



EDIT (10/6/09): My mistake. I checked the MP3s on RayTunes again, and they're fine. Sorry. :oops2:
For my blunder, I think I owe you a few tings.
