For all of you that like the MUSIC in GW

And doesn't like to spend money on buying soundtracks, I found the music on GW's official Taiwan website. Here's the direct link.

Enjoy!

The last one doesn't work, I think.

Edit: it does.

Edit: These are all tracks that are already ingame.

Yes yes, but some want these tracks also available offgame. That's the point of soundtracks.

thanks for sharing ^_^

Thank you Thank you!

Thank You

Very surprised to see NCSoft hosting these files.
Some of the C1 stuff is NOT on the DirectSong GW OST.

nice.. atm i can't get link 1 or 3 to work but thanks for sharing

none of those links work.

They're working for me right now.

Thanks for sharing

The bad thing about it is that it's 96kps MP3, while the normal soundtrack is 320kps WMA.

Still, you get what you pay for.

MP3 > WMA lol


sorry, I hate microsoft, apple ftw.

Not if the mp3 is horrible quality.

ogg > mp3 (which has nothing to do with apple*

What I was refering to is that WMAs sound better than MP3s. That's a fact. The 320k WMAs sound gorgeous compared to 96k MP3s. 96k MP3 is worse than CD quality. (But, as a legitimate contrast, 320k WMAs will royally assassinate the battery life of any MP3 player (will depelete battery life 5 times as fast. I'm not joking). So the 96k MP3s are the best way to go, especially if you have an iPod.)

Oh, and like 2 MP3 Players support OGG.

(OpenSource) Ogg = (MS) WMA = (Apple) AAC > MP3

Perfer lossless like FLAC, WMA lossless, or Apple Lossless when encoding
For compression, I lean towards Ogg.. but will do Wma depending on situation of where I think I will use them.

I love the GW music and bought all the soundpacks from directsong. However I'd like to be able to burn a CD of them, and the DRM doesn't let you do that, so the download in this thread will be nice to have.

I use WMA lossless, so that I only need to rip CDs once. I can convert to MP3 at a later date for putting on an iPod or what have you, but WMA lossless is my 'master' copy for all my ripped CDs.

Also, Apple is not your friend, its DRM is just as annoying as Microsoft's, so don't get emotionally attached. Apple users seem to do this a lot.

I think what he meant was that with the DS soundtrack, it has bonus songs than you cant gert off the site. Also those extra songs will play ingame. Plus those are low quality :P

Hmm, that's interesting. There's some tunes here which aren't in any of the directsong soundtracks, and a few of these aren't even ingame!

VolcanicIntro-32.mp3 - Heard ingame before (in a cutscene I think), but it's not in any of the soundtracks.
CrystalRift001-32.mp3 - Never heard before.
CrystalRift002-32.mp3 - Don't think I've heard this one before either.
CrystalRift003-32.mp3 - Not sure if I've heard it before. But it sounds so generic it could have easily gone unnoticed in a cutscene.
CrystalRiftInner.mp3 - Heard parts of it in a longer tune (Hall of Heroes I think).
(I think all those CrystalRift tunes were supposed to be used in Heroes' Ascent but where scrapped for some reason)
GenericAdv04-32.mp3 - Heard ingame but not in any soundtrack. A rather dull tune anyway.
ScorchedIntro-32.mp3 - Haven't heard this one before at all. I guess it was supposed to be used for a cutscene to introduce seared Ascalon.

The other tunes are all used ingame and on Directsong soundtracks. This is a REALLY nice find. I wasn't expecting to be able to add anything more to my GW soundtrack collection.

How do I merge all of the music files into one big music file. SO I don't onlt listen to one at a time?

Thanks! factions login screen music, i love it! one of the few things i really did miss about the game.

i use 192K Mp3's , the sound difference is impossible to tell without £1000+ Speakers, and even then is pathetic differance

And with 192K Mp3s my Zen Touch lasts aproximatly 16 hours(Used to be 20), after 2 years (and considering batterys always degrade over time, thats pretty good) , my brothers ipod Which is two years old lasts 5 hours at max
