About This File

What This Mod Does:
Unlike the disaster that was the original soundtrack of TSL, the music of the original KOTOR was actually reasonably mixed. However, the quality was still lacking, as it was encoded in one channel with a sample rate of 22kHz and a sample size of only 8-bit. This mod will remaster the music of KOTOR.

All decodable music files were decompressed and subsequently remastered with two channel stereo audio with a sample rate of 44kHz and a sample size of 16-bit. The resultant files were then recoded as MP3 files at the maximum bitrate of 320kbps. In addition, the soundtrack files have ID3 tags attached to them so that you can put the entire soundtrack on an MP3 player.

Installation Instructions:
To install this file, there are several steps to follow. First, go to your default KOTOR installation folder, usually at C:\Program Files\Steam\ Steamapps\ common\SWKOTOR\ and backup your entire StreamMusic folder. Keep it in a safe place in case you wish to uninstall this mod. Afterward, go to the StreamMusic folder that you will use and delete all the WAV files. Lastly, copy over all the files from this mod folder into your StreamMusic folder.

Uninstallation Instructions:
To uninstall this mod, delete the StreamMusic folder from your main KOTOR folder and restore the one that you backed up when you installed this mod. 

Compatibility Issues:
As this mod edits sound files only, it will be compatible with any other mod that doesn’t also change the sound files inside the StreamMusic folder. Bugs:None that I know of. If there is, it is most likely due to a misnaming of a sound file.

Terms of Use:
Naturally, you can modify these files for your personal use. You also may use them in any mod if you would like, but please give me credit. That's all I ask.

could we get some comparisons uploaded?

I second this! I was considering downloading this and the other HQ Music Patch by SithHolocron to compare myself, but I suspect it will be difficult for most to actually hear the difference!

Given that the author has gone to the trouble of overhauling them all, hopefully you might know the best tracks to select for comparison.
