Fantasy Maiden Wars - DREAM OF THE STRAY DREAMER - ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Steam Charts & Stats

234 WAV tracks, 6.18 GB when batch converted to FLAC losslessly (no 32-bit floating point here). 92% of tracks are 16-bit and 8% 24-bit; 87% of tracks are 44100 Hz and 13% 48000 Hz. Unfortunately, no English metadata for you! At least the Steam music player has the correct titles. I waited a veeeeeeeeery long time to finally buy the OST. Time to play BORDER OF LIFE (the annoying one) on repeat till I either get bored or evicted. Pretty expensive collection of Touhou remixes, but it clocks in at 14.33 hours of music. It's the largest Touhou OST I know of, and it has even more songs than the Complete Box version afaik.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I've been waiting for ages for this! This is definitely one of the best soundtracks for a touhou game period, like 234 songs, all are bangers... Especially the Pc98 arrangements! Thank you Phoenixx and Sanbando!

This is an absolutely massive soundtrack. It's 234 tracks long, and it's good music, too! $39.99 may seem a little pricey for a soundtrack, but that's not a bad deal for the volume and quality you're getting here. So I'm giving this a thumbs down. Wait, why am I giving it a thumbs down? This is an absolute mess of a release. First, downloading it from Steam will download every track in MP3 and WAV format. Having a lossless option available is nice, but that's roughly 10 GB of files! Those should be in FLAC, not WAV. A side effect of them being in WAV also means that they're completely untagged... so let's talk about the tagging. The Steam page has a track list for all 13 discs in English and Japanese. That's nice, but the tagged MP3s are only in Japanese. I suspect Steam doesn't have localized soundtrack downloads, so I can understand only having one version, but if every track is in both English and Japanese on the store page, you might as well also put both in the track names. Every track name also has the number in it for some reason. But those are just the minor annoyances; it gets a lot worse. Over two discs of track names are badly encoded and appear as mojibake / garbage characters. There are also two discs where the track number on every track is wrong, and a handful of other discs where some, but not all, of the track numbers are wrong. Every track is missing a disc number. The album names have disc numbers in them, which makes things even more confusing if you can't read Japanese since, unless you realize this is actually the soundtrack for four games that have been combined together, it's quite confusing to skim over the album names and see that there are multiple disc 1's / disc 2's / disc 3's. The artist tagging is also wildly inconsistent. Some tracks have artist, some have an album artist, and some have none at all. If your music player groups tracks based on artist name, it's going to have no idea what to make out of these. There is, of course, also no cover art set on any of the tracks. Anyway, I've now spent an hour and a half re-tagging these files manually, and I think I'm developing RSI.
