I wish that there was a way to get the original files though in a higher quality format, it's a shame that it was so heavily compressed. Taking a listen to the VP based files, and the publicly posted songs from FS2, there's a big difference there. If the original soundtrack from FS1 was in that good of quality, and acquirable, I wouldnt mind submitting some work in further improving the FSPort with higher quality music. I would be beside myself with joy, as it's really the only game music that moves me personally.
I got a question though. What if I were to make a mod with some of the Red Faction 1 music? Would that be against copyright stuff? Probably, because THQ has rights to RF...
