music compilation addon

[unmerged(12730)]

For all who got used to or even nerved by the original soundtrack of Hearts Of Iron, here comes a new set of songs for your perfect WW2-feel-alike sessions.
Most music comes from an internet site here:
http://digilander.libero.it/adol/musiched.htm

The files are all compressed using the mp3pro format with a little extra information attached to the stream. By that Hoi is able to play the songs while they are using only 60% of the space of a mp3 at same or better quality.
You can one of these encoders, some are for free if you restrict yourself to only using 64kbps. But for mp3pro, that's enough.

I hope there aren't any "illegal" songs in it. I got it all from an internet site, so don't flame me, but inform me if this is the case.

Thx

When I try to download, it says "file not found."

 

[unmerged(12730)]

Be sure not to use a download manager.
It works here at the moment, so it should work at yours.


Another thing i want to ask you all:
Sometimes the music just stops playing ?!
Do you experience that too?

 

[Procer]

I have all those files already, like more than 250Mb of mp3s. I did not posted it just in case, you know. But i'm glad you got the courage.

 

[unmerged(8451)]

You should have posted them in Ogg format.

 

[unmerged(12730)]

WELL ..

I'm not using it myself
I'm just offering someones song compilation repacked
Of course only those of you download it who have the right to listen to the files i hope. But as i can not control it i don't take any responsibility.


Does the Player support ogg ?

I don't know... but I just listen to the files on my audio program in the background, so it has the same effect.

Hm, we had a audio-compression-codec-contest half a year ago on heise.de and i took part. I could not hold apart the top four codecs, so there is not much difference anymore anyway..

I see. That must be my problem then. Being that I have a 56k modem, it takes long time to download, and I can't stay on forever, so I had wanted to download the large file incremently like I usually do.

Always feel free here to comment on the collection and suggest replacements!

i like half of the songs thank you but i dont use winamp. can you tell me why not to use them in the game's player or why you dont

 

[unmerged(14715)]

PLayed from the game, the music cuts out after a few tracks. Maybe one of the song names is misspelt or something on the pad list.

that happens for me too and is not the problem.
i even renamed them to numbers as are the original tracks, but maybe the internla gameplayer just cannot cope with mp3pro 100% correctly. use winamp
