My only bug/problem

Post by iPwnzorz »

So I read the SVMDS site on Drunken Coders and converted the CD Audio for Monkey Island 1 correctly. But when I play it, the music is very... skippy. It's not crunchy like high quality sound, it just stammers a lot, it's rather unpleasant.

Should I try a higher or lower sample rate? High Quality Audio is turned OFF.

Well I got somewhere. Used a higher sample rate and turned on jitter correction. It's a bit better... A BIT.

Figured out my problem.

See, this computer I'm typing on has a broken CD drive. It simply won't read ANY CDs.

The computer upstairs is 11 years old and with a crappy soundcard, ripping music on there causes the skippy music.

So - Unless someone sneakily passes under the table the compressed music or if I find a CD Drive to borrow for 10 mins I have no music. And no Monkey Island since it's useless with no score.

Predicament.

Oh and PLEASE ignore my passing under the table comment and DON'T do it since it's illegal

Is it possible to take the .mp3s I already have and compress + convert them?

btw for ripping cd audio you do not need a soundcard
and you can UNcompress the mp3's then REcompress them in the readme specified format.. use google to find the required apps!

Yes you can recompress them. In fact, cdex can do this in a single step process. Just select 'recompress audio files' IIRC.

You do however need one that isn't wired incorrectly or something somewhere and keeps interfering with the CD drive, the hissing coming from the speakers everytime a CD moves is evident of that.

Agentq: Aha! Thank you!
