Blizzard has its own mp3 player where you can listen to theme songs and all the music they made in their past games

Yes.

Cool. Now I can give proper credit to the music I use...
And that man isn't working on D3.

So where is Warcraft I, II, III musix? And thoze other games!!

Probably Blizzard was lazy to update it with warcraft music. It is on battle.net's classic site

im luvin it

Does anyone have all of those songs in a zip file? (I don't have the tools to get them from the MPQs.)

All 9 of Starcraft's theme songs are around 300mb already. Considering that and some other things + diablo music, you could expect a huge zip file. So your best option is for highly compressed songs, I'll have the Starcraft songs ready for you some day this week, but ask someone with diablo to extract the diablo songs.
So the entire Starcraft songs are 340mb and highly compressed into 6.27mb and adding it to a .zip archive makes it 6.22mb. Will you definitely hear the decreased sound quality if you compare between compressed and uncompressed.Screenshot and compressed Starcraft songs will be attached.

You shouldn't compress more than 10 times. 50 times is horrible quality.

To admit, I only compressed it once

Or, instead, just make them mp3s.

-.- I was talking about compression factor. 340MB wav files compress nicely into 34MB mp3 files (10x compression). But you went down to 6.3MB which is terrible (50x compression).

It really doesn't matter which format you use once you hit 1:50 compression.

The files converted into .mp3 is almost 62mb but if you compress it using the compress option, it is around 34mb. To compress it even more, added to a .rar file to make it around 27mb. Will be linking to download for .mp3 soon.

This. Once you start compressing that much or mess with the bitrate to lower the filesize, the quality turns to crap.

Actually, it really doesn't matter which format you use once you hit >128 kbps. Anything less there's a clear winner in AAC/vorbis.

Once you hit less than 48 kbps, AAC and vorbis win hands down. Vorbis is 15% smaller (that's because my encoder made the AAC files at ~34 kbps, whereas the vorbis files are at ~29, though I can't tell the difference between aac and vorbis very well. There's a very clear difference between lame/mp3 and AAC/vorbis at this low bitrate.

I just converted the uncompressed down to 17 MB total, with minimal gains for compressing.

There's an audible difference in sound quality using AAC/Vorbis vs original, but you have to listen to it side by side to tell. Very few people could be able to listen to a song and say "that's less than 80 kbps".
