To whom it may concern,
I have been collecting Mega Man Soundtracks for a few years now (both official releases and gamerips) and when I collect each and everyone, I absolutely must have them in high quality. I have searched throughout the web for hours on end, peeking into it's every nook and cranny, tirelessly looking for a lossless RIP of a rare album or converting game audio format sets to lossless on my own. Of course I could simply take that MP3 CBR 128 kbps rip that can be found on nearly every MegaMan site for far lesser effort, but I am not interested in mediocre quality if there are other possible options to pursue.
That is why I have come here, I have your current Legends music rips, plus some extra for legends 1 as whoever uploaded that set here missed a few tracks, but they are sadly only in MP3 CBR 128 kbps quality (and also for whatever reason, recorded at a low volume level). I am also vaguely aware of their being something about the way the music is programmed into the game has prevented people from ripping it in high quality, but I'm guessing you guys have found a way around that (or you're recording from your TV).
Sadly, there are no alternative RIPs on the web for Legends other than this site. I could always make a request with Capcom over at their Unity site to put together an album containing the games, but seeing how hit and miss their MegaMan soundtracks are in terms of quality, plus the fact that they even consider my request in the first place, the chances are slim that a non half-assed album makes a release.
Of course I would love these in raw .WAV lossless (FLAC sadly doesn't work with my media player very well), but I understand that would take up gigantic amounts of space on this site. Mp3 CBR 320 Kbps would then be the next best choice for quality, or if that is too much space as well MP3 VBR V0 rips would work out well as they retain a quality almost exactly like MP3 CBR 320 kbps, but are significantly smaller in filesize.
I understand how big of an undertaking this request would be, but I assure you that, not just myself, but a lot of other MegaMan soundtrack hunters would go nuts over the ability to have a high quality Legends series soundtrack release, as Capcom surely hasn't shown any signs of releasing such a project. I would even be willing to go as far as paying anyone who can take my request if it would mean the difference between taking this request or not taking it. I only ask that all tracks be included (I can provide a list of tracks that are missing), that they be recorded at one of the qualities specified above, and at a reasonably higher volume level than what is currently on the rips already posted so they come out clear and crisp.

. Unless someone has some direct way of contacting him and can provide me with the ways to do so, it looks like I am stuck (Unless the forums are only temporarily down).
