Hello,

I wanted to extract the full OST of Ride 2, since it is impossible to find rips online.

The files are .ogg, but doesn't seem to play anywhere, and i can't find anything about them.

Does anyone have a clue on how to extract them, or with what does these files were encoded ... ?

Here are some examples here :

there is no any ogg header or ogg compression

i think it's xored

Eh not so simple I guess.
All your samples start with a difference sequence of bytes which which that the "OggS" magic doesn't match.
It's strange that the first 2 bytes really look like a 16 bit field.
Maybe ogg is only the original extension but the content is a different codec, is it possible?

I must be dreaming. I tested all the GENH headers available and I don't hear any music when playing them!

That's why i'm starting to think it's encrypted or some shit, i got no experience with these but i'm pretty sure there is something really strange about these ones.

It's a codec since I have seen the same data struct in the vags_eng*.zar files of SOCOM few minutes ago:

I'm curious about those strange OGG so I'm asking: what's the link between SOCOM and this?

Apparently no link since they are different developers and platforms.
I guess it's better if I move this topic in the Audio section for giving it more visibility (audio is not my field).
Let me know if that's ok for you.

Wait, it's possible that they are raw vorbis chunks.
Probably I'm wrong but it may have sense since FMOD used something similar in the FSB archives.

Ride 2 is using FMOD

Found it: it's custom vorbis (OGG inside FSB5 container) 48000Hz

Shieeet, thanks mane, do you know a way to play it ... ?

Sure, remove everything before "FSB5" (Hex Editor) in the MUSICS.BANK file, save to FSB and then use fsb_aud_extr (viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1901) on it to output WAV-converted music files.

Okay, i'll try that.

But doesn't that ruin the quality ... ?

I mean, .ogg is better than .wav in terms of capacity of quality, right ... ?

WAV PCM is lossless so it's certainly better than OGG (lossy)

It thought .wav stopped at 18 kHz or something.

I mean at least that's what i saw on some .wav files from multiple games.

there's also vgmstream to decode these fsb files

Right @AnonBaiter, @Scar557 just drag and drop your MUSICS.FSB (after removing everything before FSB5) and it will split the MUSICS.FSB into multiple OGG files which you can play.

Didn't worked by drag'n'drop so i used cmd.exe and it finally worked ( It extracted the files straight to .wav format, though ), thanks dude.

No problem. I guess you used fsbext -o -1 because it actually outputs the *.ogg files you provided in your first post.
