Website Content Creation - Music Download Button

[MishFTW]

A requested feature and something in the original plans but somehow escaped our attention. It can be hosted on another service or simply be a zip of all the music tracks in MP3 or OGG format.

I suggest at least a lossless format - FLAC.

I request this feature via mail. I initially suggested to upload them to Jamendo but this was the answer:

Hi Michael,

Thanks for contacting us and for your kind words.

The music for 0 A.D. is bundled with the game.

Right now we don't have a separate link for the music, but we might add one.

The problem with having multiple packages, either on our website or on Jamendo, is that we occasionally add new tracks or improve existing ones, and then we'd need to simultaneously update them all.

Perhaps when we are done, creating an album on Jamendo will be a more appealing possibility.

Sincerely,

In the meantime music can be downloaded from here: ​http://svn.wildfiregames.com/public/audio/trunk/music/

I fully agree with fabio. A lossless format like FLAC would give the possibility to the users to re-encode in any format they want (mpc, ogg, opus), at any rate, without cumulating the losses of different codecs.

As long as someone supplies a .zip file with all the music, I can put it on the site. Another option I liked was WP-Filebase (​https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-filebase/)

there is a file with the music in a .zip at ​https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xbpllfkqb3vehhk/tQTmLCBxTA they are all in mp3 format ready to go

[Zion]

I also have a file of the music in FLAC format, not sure if i should upload it or not as MP3 is quite usable format.

I have verified the music files, Noizmaker. I'll add them to the music page.
