SPC converting?

Shadow_Cast · April 25th, 2004

I've just recently made a dump of some of the chrono trigger songs I liked. My problem is that, of coarse, nothing can burn SPC files. I want to know if there is a way to stream them into a streaming audio file so that I can use them. Oh, and on a bit unrelated subject, anybody know where I can get the orchestrated version on cd?

Well, you can always use winamp to convert them to .wav, then use another program to convert it to a different format if needed.

Cypherswipe · April 26th, 2004

Winamp can convert from almost any format, to almost any format. It can even burn cds (although I haven't tried that myself). Get the spc input plugin for winamp and you can convert them to wavs, or get the spc input plugin and one of the mp3 output plugins, and convert directly to mp3. Either way, you can then use any prog you want to burn them to a cd.

another easy solution , just run the files and use a sound output cable from ur sound card opening for speakers to the other opening of mic . now u can record them using any recording program .

sorry to say cloud, but that's a horrible idea. even if you have an expensive studio quality microphone and speaker set, the sound wont be as good. you can just put em in winamp and convert them directly to wav

He's not saying to play the music through the speakers and record it with a microphone, he's saying to run a wire from the speaker output jack to the microphone input jack (although the line-in jack is better if you have one).

ah, i get it now.

well still...you dont even need to do that. you can use something like Audiograbber, switch winamp to WaveOut, and tell audiograbber to record the "Wave" part from your soundcard, no cords needed

....or simply have winamp do all the work with its built in wav converter

You can combine steps 2 and 3 by either getting the pro version of winamp 5, or by getting an mp3 output plugin for the free version of winamp. Then you can use winamp to jump straight from SPC to MP3.

**hushypushy** · April 29th, 2004

well, no disrespect intended, Nevermore, your guide is really cool

it would be a cool experience, you can be proud you ripped it yourself.

...but for most people, who just want to hear the songs, they are already pre-ripped

Just stepping aside from mp3s, a few months ago I translated the program SPC2MIDI, from Japanese to English, which is available on zophar and my website. Its a really nifty program if you want the midi version of an SPC.
