/music8

This Folder contains the Music files. Since the NINA Version(??), the files are encoded in ADPCM. Before that, the files use normal PCM.

Converting to mp3/aac/flac etc.

You may have noticed that if you try to play the .wav with VLC or another media player that it sounds terrible. The files have a very interesting header that is not interpreted correctly by VLC and other players which gives the corrupt sound. To convert the files to mp3/aac/flac you can use ffmpeg and force the input format.

These instructions assume you have ffmpeg installed already and can access it from command shell.

  1. Go to the music8 folder in Anno 1602 and open your favourite terminal in the folder. (On windows you can shift + right click and click on “Open PowerShell here”)

  2. To convert the files you will be using the following command:

    ffmpeg -n -guess_layout_max 0 -c:a adpcm_ima_ssi -i [file.wav] -ac 2 -c:a mp3 -b:a 192k [out.mp3]
    
Detailed Command Explanation - `-n` - do not overwrite existing files (prevents mishaps) - `-guess_layout_max 0` - do not guess the channel layout - `-c:a adpcm_ima_ssi` - forces `adpcm_ima_ssi` to be used to decode the file - `-i [file.wav]` - the source file in the directory e.g.: "Ocean Trip.wav" - `-ac 2` - use 2 audio channels (stereo) - `-c:a mp3` - encode as mp3 (can be replaced with aac/flac/ac3 etc. See `ffmpeg -encoders` for a full list) - `-b:a 192k` - encode with 192kbit/s - `[out.mp3]` - output file name
  1. Replace [file.wav] and [out.mp3] with actual filenames and execute the command. The output should look like this:
