Does anyone know if there are pages out there with TTD music? I know at one point there was one with Joker's Wild music covering all the different segments.

TQ's site [shoot, I don't remember his new URL] should have it.

It happens to be http://gsthemes.freeweb7.com/ now.

From the website: Don't trade themes or cues that you think are so rare that the public should not be allowed to listen to it. I will not keep those themes or cues secret.

and

All files on the website are in RealPlayer format (.RA, .RAM).

I approve of the first, since it deflates that whole absurd "music" economy thing, but the second is a lie: they're in .rar, not .ra. Which may not make heaps of difference, but it's misrepresentation, on however small a scale. But man, I dig that the guy wants to set the music free and everything.

Thanks for the site. Now, I just wish there was a way to convert the Rar to another format. I want to burn these.

Doesn't Audacity play .rars?

/not sure I buy into them being .rars in the first place

If you un-RAR the RAR files, the .ra files are in there and play just fine.

They absolutely are.

I didn't believe it myself, but I checked and they are RAR archives, each containing an .ra file.

EDIT: Simulpost with Pacdude.

Okay, fine, it's a .rar with a .ra inside of it. My point was that the .rar was not the actual media file Card Shark wants to convert, it's a wrapper for the .ra file that is the actual media. And that's pretty trivial.

Maybe I'm going off topic here, but I really don't think it's a good thing that he's been ripping everything that's been put on the TV Music Museum site and is trying to use them to benefit himself.

In my experience, I've found that most of his .RA files can easily be "converted" to .MP3 or .WAV by going into the folder the files are in, clicking on the file name, and changing the extension from .RA to the one you want.

Of course, your results may vary.

Gus · « **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2008, 02:33:47 AM »

I don't believe there's a free direct RA to MP3 converter, but there does exist a RA to WAV converter. You do need Real Player for its DLLs, but you can convert WAV to just about anydamnthing you want for free.

clemon79 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 06, 2008, 03:16:38 AM »

If you have Real Alternative installed, I can think of a great many ways you could transcode that thing into an MP3, since you'd be handling it all through DirectShow-friendly codecs. Plus you have the added benefit of not having that awful RealPlayer software on your system.

I'm not sure if you could encode TO RealMedia, but for Glub's sake, why would you?

(EDIT: Just checked. VLC Media Player will play an .ra back without the codec even being installed, and I know you can filter its output through an mp3 encoder like LAME. I'm not sure *how* you go about that (I've always found better solutions), but then I'm not the one trying to do it.)

(EDIT THE SECOND: I *knew* I had seen something along these lines before. Give this a shot. Worked like a champ for me, and no oogy codec issues.)

Great. How the heck do I do this? I'm not that well versed in computers.
