Any chance to revive the old torrents? I noticed some broken files in my collection, but all of the old torrent files are missing from the server...

happy new year and thank you!

We will not be reviving old torrents. If it's not on the tracker or there are no seeds you're out of luck. You can ask around the channel to see if anyone can seed or send something specific (a missing song or a missing album) but if you're expecting to be able to download any of the archive torrents, year torrents or the entirety of our release catalog, you will be disappointed.

See previous post (http://www.gamemp3s.net/2013/04/07/soul-sacrifice-original-soundtrack/) for reasons why we're not really supporting that kind of mentality any longer.

I was wondering if you were looking for new people to encode albums? I used to collect VGM like 10 years ago and stopped pretty much entirely. I now finally got back into it and I'm hoping to buy a couple albums per month. I use EAC and LAME 3.99.5.

I've been using this website for a while now and I'll be happy to finally give back! Let me know.

We've never really had a formal process for becoming a contributor, it's mostly been just hang around a while and share the same values as the rest of us and eventually it just happens. The two biggest problems we always have with vetting contributors is we need to make sure you're following our ripping, encoding and tagging standards as well as making sure you're not ripping bootlegs combined with the fact that a lot of people try to contribute just to get access to things quicker, which is the wrong reason.

If you're interested in contributing, jump in IRC and hang around and get to know some people. Although admittedly IRC seems to be an archaic service and somewhat of a dying medium, it's the best we have at the moment. We don't have as much activity or people in the channel as we used to mostly because web is easier and not everyone idles.

I will say, though, that one thing we always need and something we've always looked for are people who are active and fluent in both Japanese and English and are interested in game music. We've found some combination of the two but nothing that really sticks for any significant amount of time so some of the harder translations tend to not get done because they aren't satisfactorily up to our standards.

Well I haven't used IRC in like 15 years and quite frankly, I'm not interested in using it again.

I have no problem following your ripping and encoding standards. As stated already, i use EAC and LAME 3.99.5, which sounded like what you are using yourself. But if you are doing something differently, and you're willing to explain it to me, I'm willing to do it as well. As for tagging standards, if you're specific about what you want, I can follow it as well. I generally use vgmdb.net for that.

I took one class of japanese in college, so I don't believe I would be very useful in that matter.

Anyway, I offered my help, but if you're not interested, then quite frankly, it's your loss, not mine! Less work for me! XD
