@rainwarrior Thanks for the updated version of nsfplug and nsfplay.  I had only found the version from 2006.  The python script will be handy as well when I start to do the older famicompos.

I used to do what you suggested (nsfplug and winamp disk writer), but last famicompo, and a few entries in this one, the times were a bit off.  I remember a really good track from last famicompo that the timing was listed about two minutes shorter than actual. 

To answer the question about which track has hidden/bonus tracks see Covers 55-5 "Stinkoman K/20X6", its listed as 51 seconds but if you save it out to 7 minutes and open in up in say, Audacity you can clearly see the other tracks. 

Since I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, if there is one track with wrong timings, there are probably others.  So I have to do it this more combersome way now.  I did use nsfplug to save out the WAVs initially, with a length of 10:00 and then opened each one up in audacity to see what the times should be.

It's a little excessive and perhaps obsessive, I guess, but I like it!

@Fearofdark, that is great news, I was wondering where the voting page was.

I have painstakingly converted all tracks to mp3. I noticed this year, like last year, that some of the track lengths are off.  So I found out the actual lengths, and made a nice playlist for nsfplug.  (sorry, not going to listen to an 8 second song for 6 minutes, like row, row, row your boat from last year).  Unfortunately some songs wouldn't play correctly, so this year I went super geeky and only used virtualnsf for conversions.  It took a little while longer but I think you guys might like the results. 

I will be posting torrents within a day or two.  Anyone prefer a specific site?

A few notes about this, any song that I determined to be less than 60sec, I looped 2x then exited it with a 5 second fadeout.  Other songs that loop have a 5 second fadeout.  I even found a track that appears to have 2 hidden songs in it, about 3 seconds after the listed track length ends.

Let me know if there are any problems or questions, I spent the last 10 days on this and plan to go back and do all the other famicompos next month, the same painstaking way, or better if I figure out a better way to convert them.

I can do flacs too if anyone wants them...

So far my absolute favorite is Original 45 "Batteries on Backbeat."  To me, that song is amazing.  There are many others but I imagine that one will win the Original category.

I already had a Mediafire account, so...

I put up a torrent with mp3s and flacs if anyone is interested.  Also contains playlists for nezplug++ and nsfplug.  Most tracks are ripped using nezplug, but some with n106 chip sounded terrible so I ripped those with nsfplug.
