nikpav Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Greetings everyone. I have just recently downloaded Michikawa's music packs for Oblivion and I decided to add some of my music into Oblivion. I saw that in his download there are no esp files, only mp3 files. I tried to add my songs and the problem is that even if I delete every single song and add mine no music is being played in-game. If I am not mistaken all that there is in adding music is simply making sure that the audio files are mp3 files and you just add them inside Oblivion/Data/Music/ (the music folder that you require - for example Battle). Is there something I have forgotten and / or haven't looked at? I would be glad if someone responded. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortrix927 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 That should be all that's required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Rename your new music to have the same names as the music you deleted. The game won't know what music to look for unless it has the correct names. If the names are already correct, I don't know what the problem is, since if your description is accurate, everything should be correct.

DrakeTheDragon Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) No, Oblivion doesn't care for the filenames of MP3s added into those folders. They just get added to the playlist, no matter their names. The only things concerning the engine is the file format (not just any MP3 will work, bit rate and things must be right) and something with the meta data in the file, these things an MP3 player can read out, like interpreter, album and such (under some circumstances these can prevent the game from using the files). So are you trying to add your own mp3s to the lists or the files from the music packs? I assume the music packs' files should have the proper bit rate and such, or else they'd be pretty useless as an add-on for Oblivion... but I could be mistaken. The first thing to check though would definitely be the bit rate of the new mp3s. I can't recall the correct value the game expects them to be anymore though. And I would check for OS-dependent folder permission and UAC ghosting issues as well, just in case. It could very well be you "think" you placed them into the right folders, but your OS put them somewhere else entirely and is only lying to you they were still where they're supposed to be now. Or they were placed into the wrong folders to begin with, as we don't know "where" this "Oblivion/Data/music" folder is you're putting them into, but that's unlikely, as you already told "deleting" the originals from this folder removes music entirely.

Rennn Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) @DraketheDragonSorry, my mistake :(I thought the names mattered. On another note, I checked that mod, and practically nobody has installed it. We can't be sure everything is the correct format since so few people have tested it.

nikpav Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thank you all for the suggestions but I managed to fix it. I downloaded a program named Multi ID3 Tag Editor and I deleted the songs' tags and artwork and now it works just fine. If anyone else has the same problem like me be sure that you delete your artwork and tag :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeTheDragon Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Tags! Of course. I remembered it was such meta data, like I told, but I didn't remember it was the tags anymore. Must keep this in mind... this time! @Rennn: No need to be sorry. I don't know all things perfectly right either. I just tend to correct not-100%-right statements whereever I see them. And I hope others will do this with my statements, too!I can only hope the persons the statements of which I correct won't be offended by me doing this.
