These are caught up.

Nothing in the submissions inbox from him, so it seems like that's not it.

Are you a posted ReMixer then?

Awesome trailer.

The album just blew up AGAIN: http://blog.livedoor.jp/goldennews/archives/51480666.html Congrats, everyone!

Niiiiiiiice!

I'll look at somes. [sic]

Interesting. Are you saying that for whatever tracks the year displays on your Zune but for others it doesn't? Would it be a character limit issue or something like that? If you have MP3 that do display the year properly on your Zune, mail me some (larryoji@ocremix.org) and I'll see if I can figure out a common demonimator.

They're not. Your ears are broken.

It's clear that this conflict needs to be settled by Turkish oil wrestling. I abstain from watching.

Fight!

Superbadass.

Remixing is based on sampling the original audio tracks, whether that's slicing/manipulating the original instrumental and/or vocal track, or creating a brand new instrumental track while retaining the original vocal track. Arrangement is transposing/adapting a composition into other instrumentation. ReMixing (capital R, capital M) = rearrangement. Rearrangement, I treat as a level beyond arrangement with a greater level of interpretation (section 4 of the Standards). There are traditional remixes that use a lot of the same interpretive techniques as OC ReMixes, but the main difference is that remixes sample with the original audio and OC ReMixes (in a supermajority of cases) don't. When you hear melodies and other things from video game music in OC ReMixes, those are usually sequenced by the ReMixer rather than taken from the original audio. That's just how I've come to view those terms; other folks may have different perspectives and definitions.

1. I had already cleared out every possible unnecessary field via MP3tag, so this came as a surprise. But the reason this was still around is because the "Release Time" field can only be manually added into MP3tag; it wasn't selectable. Either way, that caught 170 old mixes with that old data still in there. Good catch, I'm glad we took care of that. 2. I'll upload something post-1000 later tonight. 3. There were 2 or 3 other incorrect years that I fixed as well, mostly ones posted near the turn of the year. Glad you noticed. I've thought about using the URL Audio File/WWWAUDIOFILE field to add the URL for each ReMix, but I have no idea what MP3 players use that data. If anyone knows of a program that does so, let me know.

That's a conscious decision. It's "Encoded by" in Winamp 2 and "Encoded" in Winamp 5, so I'm OK with how I'm using it. It's much more important to me to actually promote the ReMixer and their contact info. There's a separate "Encoder Settings" tag that overrides the "Encoded by/with" field in iTunes if it's filled out. Yep, that's just a test tag that a few other mixes have, but won't be in the final file. Glad you noticed it. If there are other fields filled out, the Album Artist field isn't working, or any other issues like that, everyone please let me know.

Here's 18MB of test mixes, retagged. I threw in some bootleg album art. They're all early mixes. Please play these files in various programs and let me know what issues, if any, you encounter. http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BzZ-TkKWy5oLZmZhMTVjZTYtZmY5Zi00ZGI5LTlhYmMtMWE0ODdmYjZiOWZj&hl=en

It's fine. Doug covered it.

Yeah, you didn't read the thread. Dunno what iTunes limitations are, but since I don't use it to tag mixes, it's moot point. MP3tag handles more then 3 digits just fine, and iTunes diplays more than 3 digits in the track #s with no problem. It doesn't display the extra 0s we add in, which is fine.

Well, the ID3 tag titling might bother you a little, since those will have the Roman numerals, but for me, I always sort by filename, so it's not an issue. Also, we're not adding 1's for anything in filenames (e.g. "Super_Mario_Bros_1"; it'd be a waste time putting 1 on every game that's had a sequel, and it muddies up the proper name.

17kHz for me, but only at the beginning of it. It immediately blends into ambient noise after it starts up.

Yep. Proper game names for all filenames & titles. The filenames will continue using numbers instead of roman numerals.

Oh, excellent. I shouldn't have forgotten that, thanks!

I use Mp3tag as well. It's the album, and that's 100% on purpose. That's something we're always going to keep. Check the first post to see a rundown of the fixes I've done in preparation for redoing the files.
