Now that's what I wanted to hear!
Awesome, Alec!

Please include the intro music that is part of "naija_intro-music.ogg" and also the piano music that is part of "eric.ogg".

Both those tunes are my faves.  I really like Prelude, Lucien, Open Waters, Open Waters 3, Hope of Winter and a few others.

I really look forward to the OST release  :)

I can only joy while reading these posts. The music of the Aquaria is really something to wonder about. When i first started to play, the beautiful music in the menu was enough to convince me that this game was totally worth of its price.  Generally, music in Aquaria succeeds to create the atmosphere of the underwater world; it is relaxing, mysterious and simply touching. I can hardly imagine any fitting music for this game. Congratulations to the makers!  ^-^

Soundtrack would be the obvious choice for me, or mp3 -files. With some extra-music (piano!), like You suggested, it would be a success. There are many nice melodies in Aquaria, and i usually travel from place to place just to listen those (in game, of course).

However, i have noticed that listening too much the music you like will spoil (or harm) the actual game-experience. The music unique to some place, or event, won´t feel exotic anymore; you just get fed up with it. That´s my problem, because i can´t just stop listening good music ( The Jukebox-mod is too much for me).  :P  I hope i won´t ruin my Aquaria-experience. Maybe i should complete the game first...

I had to say something,  though you guys have mostly said eveything needed.


(And i should practice to write more in English too...geez, haven´t done this for years...)

I just want to add a big thumbs up for an official release of the soundtrack. I don't normally listen to the sound on computer games, but as soon as I heard the lovely intros I got hooked. I now miss playing the game because I don't hear the music!

The graphics, gameplay, etc. is all wonderful, but the soundtrack is the best. I am hooked on the one that plays in the Sun Temple.

I'd be happy to pay for an official CD... or an MP3. - But it'd be nice to have it for free too  ;)

Again, if someone made an app that could extract stuff from data.000, I'd be cool with that.

Sorry for the necro on this topic, but is this still true?

edit:  Argh, never mind - it seems data.000 no longer exists and everything comes unpacked.

To help you guys being patient, check that folder on your computer...  C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\aquaria\mus
All OGG file are there... for you to add them to itunes!

Instruction are simple: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Using_iTunes/Ogg_in_iTunes
File to download : http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/download.html

Edit : I strongly discourage MP3 conversion... I did a quick batch convert on Adobe audition, and the result where pretty bad in quality... keep the original format if possible!... and wait for the official OST release for an MP3 version!

That's what I used, but their lack of numbering and looping bothered me, so here's...
A .rar with the music
sorted, looped, but standard quality (mp3, same kbps and Hz as the .ogg files)

But please tell me if I'm doing something wrong, here!

I remember the Oggvorbis server that orbited the OpenNap outerrims of the Napaverse, like some weird moon where you could only share special, rarified .ogg files. a utopian orb of plenty. always makes me happy to see .ogg files popping up  :)

The quality is pretty incredible... I might have to check what went wrong, because when I checked the MP3 I had converted (fly away especially) it sounded distorted... and I didn't resampled the Hz and bps either! :S

Anyway, thanks.

I don't know why you'd want to transcode these files (except for playing them on a portable player). Most of the useful software players have Ogg Vorbis support these days, so it should make no difference whether you feed them .ogg or .mp3, and transcoding will only degrade the quality.

I figured it was safest to go with the most compatible filetype. Almost chose .zip instead of .rar, too, but was more sure of that than .ogg vs .mp3

You mean a rar with the copyrighted music from the full version? tsk tsk.
