I have a handful of .XM files that I want to convert to .WAVs to burn to a CD. They have time tags that specify end of file/song... I can easilly export these as wave files, but the problem I'm having is that if I set Foobar to loop the tracks, the export command still cuts the song off where it would normally look.

This wouldn't necessarilly be a problem, but the loop transition is such that I cannot simply copy and paste the song onto itself in a wave editor; the transition at the loop is unique and I'd like to keep it. I don't really know how else to explain it, but I can offer the file of the song for example. save this image to your hard drive, rename the file extension from .jpg to ".rar" and then open the archive



If anyone can offer some help, it would be greatly appreciated. I tried to find a plugin to make the file work in WinAmp (gag x_x) in hopes I could accomplish something there, but got no luck... same with XMplay. It seems like something so simple, I feel like I must just be missing something.

EDIT: smaller pic

I think I saw an option somewhere to extend loops... maybe it was ages ago, in Winamp... Anyway, another solution could be just recording the "wave out" from your sound driver. ---- your xmplay just reminded me something, I used to use modplug player to play these files, and I think there was an output option. -- Just verified, there's a save wav option in modplug player, and this being a dedicated player, im sure you can have the looping samples in the wav.

Btw, where is this song from, is it from top gear?

Thank you so much, that little program seems to have accomplished what I needed :3 I'll have to tweak a few things to make sure it sounds as good as foobar, but I have someting to work with now Still curious whether or not foobar can accomplish this though.,.. It seems like this app you gave me lets you specifiy the length of the converted file, I can't imagine that would be hard to implement in foobar

And yes, it's from Top Gear Rally.... Back in the 16bit era, my friend had Top Gear 2 for SNES, and I would rent the Genesis version.. I always loved the music. Then I found a Genesis game called Lotus II R.E.C.S., and that had awesome music too... Once I got onlder and started spending time online, I checked out other versions of these games.. Top Gear 1 on SNES, the prior Lotus games for computer, and found they all had cool music.

It was about this same time (1999) that I had gotten an N64 and found two more games whose music I loved... Top Gear Rally and Rush 2.. Not only did I like the music, but I played these games for countless hours.

A bit of research more recently has shown me that the same guy, Barry Leitch, did the music for the first Top Gear game, the first two Lotus games, Top Gear Rally, and Rush 2 (and Rush 2049, and a ton of other games, but these are for example). And this would explain why All the music from these games has always given me a similar feeling every time I heard it, but I didn't know why until now. (Although it was a different composer, the same person who did music for Top Gear 2 did the music for that Lotus II RECS Genesis game, which is apparently Lotus 3 on computer, so that's why those two felt so similar, too; Patrick Phelan)

As a result, I'm trying to gather up music from all of these games so I have it all organized and at my disposal I just love this guy's stuff. I also wanna try to figure out how to do my own tracked music at some point, but that'll take some time.

Here's a small archive of some of his work:

When you open the rar or zip files, you have to rename them so the file extension is at the end of the filename.

What REALLY intruigues me is that there are Tempest 2000 files listed amongst everything else. I am a RABID Tempest fan, and it's because of the music from Tempest 2000... T2k's music is also the reason I'm so consumed with videogame music in general. I bought a Jaguar for Tempest 2000, found a copy of Tempest X3 for PSX, and even got a Nuon and Tempest 3000. That's going a little off-topic, but still, if Barry Leitch had anything to do with the Tempest music, then my mind will just explode.
