unless it is very rare, i would just acquire scratched cds through other means :)

canidae: accidents happen, i have a few which are scratched. I didn't even try to rip them, I got .flacs somewhere else.

yeah, i make them all flacs now, but i didn't have 'nuff room to make flacs out of them some years ago

also, some of these cds are older than my experience with computers :p

yes, i don't think i've ever been to a 90's party, nor do i have any plans to do so :P

vinyl was pretty ingenious at its time

although, i do rather prefer digital music these days, so much easier to handle :)

this one has locked grooves too, can't do that on CD

"NON's Pagan Muzak (Gray Beat, 1978) is a one-sided 7" with multiple locked grooves and two center holes, meaning each locked groove can be played at two different trajectories as well as any number of speeds. The original release came with instructions for the listener to drill more holes in the record as they saw appropriate."

I've had scratched CDs that jumped to random locations in the middle of them
hmmm, if the CD stores the address of each track, couldn't you just have like a track 99 point to the location of track 1?

brianfreud: no, no artists on that page. (i just use translate.google, nothing magic :)

brianfreud: shouldn't be too hard to figure out though, first 17 tracks + 89 and 90 is probably Kondo Koji.
2007-09-06 24901, 2007
brianfreud
best I can find is listing Akihito Nakatsuka as the composer for all 3 volumes...
2007-09-06 24909, 2007
brianfreud
I'm guessing Akihito Nakatsuka == Akito Nakatsuka

brianfreud: hm?
2007-09-06 24959, 2007
brianfreud
I'm wondering if he's really the arranger for the series, cause I'm pretty such you're right about Kondo, etc. composing some of these

brianfreud: that disc you linked to has the original NES music of zelda II, star soldier, spelunker, and some other games.

brianfreud
yeah
2007-09-06 24931, 2007

Track 1 is the title music to zelda 2 and that was kondo koji.
2007-09-06 24936, 2007

so, no re-arranging has been done.

the sets are credited as a whole, as far as I can make out, to Akihito Nakatsuka and the Nintendo Sound Team, but my ID3s have variously Akito Nakatsuka, Irem Sound Team, Jaleco Sound Team, Hudson Sound Team, Koji Kondo, Hirokazu Tanaka, Sunsoft Sound Team, Tecmo Sound Team, Konami Kukeiha Club, FCI Sound Team, and Nintendo Sound Team

I'm not sure how we list "xyz Team" game composer credits though...

"The score of The Adventure of Link, unlike that of The Legend of Zelda, was composed by Akito Nakatsuka ("Tsukasan" in the credits) rather than Koji Kondo."

hey, there's even a credit here for Faux... :) "(C)1986 PONY INC."
It's a crutch for when MB just doesn't have any useful information about the actual artists

2007-09-06 24935, 2007

But soundtracks like the Suikoden games being credited to kukeiha club, even though they were never credited as such? It's just 'cause we don't know which of the several composers composed individual tracks

If it's credited a certain way in the liner, I have no complaints about using what's in the liner

brianfreud thinks it may more be the Nintendo CD division being lazy
