Today is the day that Getter Love!! became one of the most notable games of my life two years ago. (Hence, Natsuki's pic. This is not a fanservice entry.)

Well, just days ago, I found the entire soundtrack to that game. Tried running one of the songs, but it turns out that only Winamp can run .miniusf files, and even then there are some more complications. I only spent an hour or so frustrating myself over this, before deciding that even if I was successful, I have no experience whatsoever in making YouTube videos. I was planning on hosting one of the girls' songs on YouTube each day and linking to them from this blog, from today until Valentine's Day, but that doesn't really seem like an option anymore.

That's what comes with procrastination. To be fair, though, I really was stressed out days ago over some stuff about Pokemon Diamond, but I shouldn't have gotten carried away with compulsively checking my email, Bulbagarden Forums, and several other websites for updates.

But anyway, as a last resort, I tried asking on Yahoo Answers if anyone would be interested in either converting the files to MP3 or hosting them on YouTube for me. Someone offered, and I sent him the soundtrack and several images to use in case they decide to host the songs on YouTube. No guarantees, but without asking, I'd definitely be on my own. And if it turns out that that person doesn't follow through with it, at least I won't be in any rush to figure anything out if I decide to come back to it later.

Received one of my Ebay-bought copies of Pokemon Ranger yesterday. I'm also feeling better now that I've picked up with the Battle Frontier in Pokemon Emerald, after having deprived myself of playing any of the DS games.

Chelle:

Have you tried converting them with VLC media player?

You don't need any experience in making Youtube videos, because Youtube does all the conversion for you. You only need Windows Movie Maker, which is dead easy to use.

Just tried both Movie Maker and YouTube, and nothing is detecting them as supported audio files, and YouTube just failed to convert them. I also read somewhere that the bulk of the songs are actually stored in a single .usflib file, and they'll only actually play when I've applied a plugin called 64th Note to Winamp. On top of that, I was unable to apply the plugin, because I got a message saying that I must first obtain permission from an administrator. Contacted one, only to get a delivery failure notification, and that's where I drew the line.

No, you're supposed to transcode them first, didn't you read the first sentence? You're answering the remark on Youtube videos as if that was about the transcoding of the files. I mean, you can't even use Youtube to transcode music files since it's a video file site.

Have you tried converting them with VLC Media Player?

This question was about attempts on transcoding the music files, the Movie Maker and Youtube paragraph was about making videos, not about transcoding the music.

My mistake. I'll give that a try later on.

Best results for WMM tend come from using selecting uncompressed, integer (bitrate 512) . Add .wav behind the files after designating destination.
