JJ2 Music Search - I'm desperate

[LittleFreak]

The problem is: I once had a really cool music file for JJ2, and would die to hear it now, but I can't find it. Seems like I don't have it anymore, and I have no idea what its name was or where I got it from in the first place. Though that must have been a single player pack or level, as I seldomly downloaded anything else back in those days.

Anyway, the track is very mellow, with a melancholic feel. Probably the most noticable feature is a sample of a laughing child spread throughout (sounds bizarre, but it is like that). There was also some scratching if I remember correctly, and mellow keyboard melodies.

I think it was an xm file, but I could be wrong. If anyone thinks he (or she) knows which track I mean, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. ;)

TICKER.XM (http://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=62482)

[LittleFreak]

You have no idea how much I love you right now.

[LittleFreak]

Now I have the track, but I can't listen to it unless I open a level with it in JJ2.

I know there are xm-players for download, but I would much prefer a software to convert it to MP3 instead. I looked, but didn't find any freeware. And no, I won't pay 20 bucks just to convert a single file.

Any ideas?

[Sonyk]

You could open it in Winamp and then use the MP3 converter, or the MP3 output plugin.

[LittleFreak]

Winamp can't play it either. No wait, it can! Awesome, thanks!

Now... where's that MP3 Converter button?

[Stijn]

XMPlay (http://support.xmplay.com/) is generally the best mod player.

[LittleFreak]

So, there's no way I could convert it to MP3? (without paying 20 dollars, that is) I'd like to use the track in my DJ Sets, and for that I need a format that can be burned onto an audio cd.

Here it is the mp3:http://www.flyupload.com/?fid=5491063

[Stijn]

Well, XMPlay can easily use LAME (http://support.xmplay.com/file_comment.php?id=478) to encode to MP3... I've never used it myself, but it shouldn't be too hard. I think it even has a wave writer included by default.

[Erik]

yep, download lame, and use xmplay

[Torkell]

I see someone's already uploaded an MP3 of it, but if you wanted to do it yourself (say with another song), download XMPlay and LAME and extract both to the same directory. Run XMPlay, and follow the instructions here (http://support.xmplay.com/article.php?id=31) and here (http://support.xmplay.com/article.php?id=36) to set up the encoder. Then just play the song in XMPlay, and instead of coming out the speakers it'll create an MP3 of it.

I think ModPlug Tracker can export MP3 format, I did it with some modules
Anyway, that song is MP3 now already

[LittleFreak]

I get an "Object Error" trying to download the MP3 file. Anyone else has a problem with that?

[djazz]

If you can't download it, try here (http://djazz.mine.nu/files/ticker.mp3), the same file as on flyupload, but on my server.

[LittleFreak]

Thanks. ;)

*edit*

I hate to be annoying, but why is it only 1 minute and 52 seconds long? Should be about three minutes.

[KRSplat]

I make wav/mp3s with ModPlug Tracker/OpenMPT. Extract to wav, and later convert to mp3 if I want.

Here is the full song: http://rapidshare.com/files/271625810/ticker.mp3.html

ModPlug Tracker is the best solution ;)

[Jerrythabest]

Lol that song/track is funny. :p

[DarkB]

Lol that song/track is funny. :p
Indeed :D but also is good to make remixes with ;)

[FawFul]

just use the LAME encoder on modplug tracker, search modplug tracker on google and use one of the first links. how simple can it be.

[DarkB]

is so simple that even a 5 year old kid can make it :+

PLZ HELP!!!! WHERE I CAN FIND CONVERTER FOR MP3 or WAV to MOD, XM, S3M or other supported for jazz2 format?!!!!!!

[EvilMike]

Just use JJ2+ and stop typing in caps

[Crazy Rabbit]

Hey EvilMike, you know any convertor for (XM, MOD, S3M, IT - TO - MP3, WAV OR OTHER FORMATS) ?

[EvilMike]

Nope sorry. I don't really know why you'd want to do that though, unless you wanted to play it on an ipod or something.

This should be in a FAQ (and I think it is) but I'm too lazy to look for it.

the answer to your question, In short, is impossible. Modules, the general name for mod, XM, it etc, are much like MIDI's, in that the song runs along a script and plays individual soundwaves, called samples, to make the music you hear.

.wav, .ogg and MP3 have the entire soundwave recorded (That is why their filesize compared to modules are so large). So if you load a wave file, it is played, in my words, "Like a big sample".

It is possible to load a .wav file into modtracker and convert it to a module, but the file size will be so grotesque that JJ2 will not play it anyway (The aproximate maximum filesize jj2 (Without plus) can handle is 2mb, and even then you risk getting amnesia errors). the only way you can get it to play is to reduce the quality of the sample, but by the time jj2 can handle it, it will sound like a xylophone being played over a cheap telephone.

I suggest, other than upgrading to jj2+ and getting mp3 support for your music, is to browse the ModArchive and find somthing you like.

Hey EvilMike, you know any convertor for (XM, MOD, S3M, IT - TO - MP3, WAV OR OTHER FORMATS)

Huh? You now ask about going the other way? Now I'm confused... :confused:

anyway, I just use ModPlug to convert modules to .mp3's. The file menu has a "Save as MP3" that is rather obvious as to what its function is.

[Puffie40]

Before the great forum apocalypse, someone posted a link to a MP3 recorder that could display the notes of a mp3. could you repost it? I never got to play with it...
