In Response To: M1A1 Music and Track Titles (GrimCleaver)

: I've got two questions regarding the Marathon music.

: First off, I've always assumed that the M1A1 music was a remix/re-mastering
: of the original Marathon music, since it sounds so different from what I
: was used to hearing (no doubt due to the version of Quicktime I used to
: use). However, after comparing the tracks, linked to above, with the
: tracks included with M1A1, I realized that they actually sound identical.
: So, are these tracks the same ones used in the M1A1 project, or are the
: M1A1 tracks actually different?

The M1A1 music does sound the same because the MIDIs were converted to MP3s with QT2.5 installed. However, the M1A1 music is only 128 kbps while the music I uploaded is in Apple Lossless. Thus better sound quality.

: My second question concerns the track names of the original Marathon music;
: I've never been able to find the names in the original music file (or
: anywhere else, for that matter). Are the titles encrypted in the music
: file somewhere, or did Seropian actually list the track titles somewhere
: else?

The track names don't appear anywhere in the music file. The track names are direct from Alex Seropian's Marathon Songs folder dating from Nov 1991. The Marathon Music section on the Story page has details about where the Marathon Songs folder came from.

Cheers
Hamish
