Why is a parkway called a parkway if you actually don't run around in grass and swing on swings?

I'd guess it would circle through the song more than once- all games do this. Like when a song ends, there is about a ten-second gap of silence until the next song plays. Instead of just playing one Baron Dante song over and over again, it would play the first one, then play the second one...then first again.

Out of curiosity, why would there be more than one music for fighting Baron Dante? You only fight him once. Now, admittedly it's been quite a long time since I last fought him, but I seem to remember the first battle with him being split into three parts, wherein he behaved differently each time. In the PSX release, each of these parts has a different theme to go with it - they're all quite good. I'd guess it would circle through the song more than once- all games do this. Like when a song ends, there is about a ten-second gap of silence until the next song plays. Instead of just playing one Baron Dante song over and over again, it would play the first one, then play the second one...then first again. As above, not quite. Also of note is how very much longer most of the PSX tunes are - some of the best parts of the music are sadly missing from the two versions that use redbook audio.

I ripped the tracks off my disc myself and found some information I've been given to be false, Track 1 does indeed work and is infact just music, I'll confirm the actual track later since the music isn't on this computer, but I know I did a different method to retrieve the audio from my disc.
I inserted my CD-Rom, ignored the launch window, opened Windows Media Player 11, went into the Rip tab of WMP11 and set it to get the audio from the disc, it ripped them (Albiet rather slowly thanks to the fact my PC is an old 2002 IBM) after that I basically played the .WMA files in WMP11 and all the tracks worked 100% (I've gone so far as to set up a WMP Album and give all the tracks their names/genres.)

I'm curious as to where the data track on your CD-ROM is if it's not track one.

Well I guess iTunes reads the disc differently, I know all the music is in either one of the archive files or one of the 'custom' extensions on the disc Either way, Track 1 is "Fight night with Flibby.wma"

The music is CDDA. I'm not at all sure what on Earth iTunes has to do with it.

Well not all programs read files the same way, it's likely (since iTunes is a MAC program and CDDA was originally designed for Stereo players and Microsofts Media Player) that it reads the data from the disc in a different way and misinterprets the information.

I still do not know why you keep talking about iTunes. I am guessing that you think I use it. CDDA was not designed for anything to do with Microsoft, you have been misinformed here. Nothing has been misinterpreted by iTunes, or by anything else. Moreover, iTunes cannot read the audio from a CD differently, as it is a standard. (Makers of CDs must comply to it, or else their CDs cannot be labelled as Compact Discs. The Compact Disc standard must be licensed from Philips.) What has happened here is that you have ripped the audio from a standard "yellow book"-compliant CD-ROM, and due to the fact that some applications will ignore a data track (I know that Microsoft's old Windows 95 CD-player program did this, for example), it seems that the one you are using has decided to label track two as track one for you (I can only imagine this is because it sees it as the first track of music, as opposed to the first actual track). Most media-players and rippers will correctly label track two as track two. Track one is the data track, this is the case with almost all "yellow book"-compliant CD-ROMs*. Put the CD in a CD-player (one with an LCD readout of the track number will do) and you will see that what you believe is track one, is in fact track two. *(An exception would be the CD-ROMs for the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16. They have an audio warning as track one, followed by the data on track two, and all of the rest of the audio tracks after that, often including any voice-acting they may have. )

Weird since I have the correct number of tracks all numbered from 1 and up, I double checked and there's no track numbers missing.

SoniCroc - I can't speak for the Windows 95/98 version, but you would need to use something like PSMPlay or PsxMC on the PlayStation release in order to rip the audio, and then use Audacity to convert the files to MP3, OGG, or whichever format you prefer to use. Tyguy - That's the redbook audio from the Windows 95 disc. Like the Saturn version, it's unfortunately missing an awful lot of tracks (though the Windows 95 version has the map tunes - the Saturn version uses the Saturn's audio hardware for those, rather than CDDA).

I loved the music on this game. When i was like 8 or 9 i used to record the music onto an audio tape. Ahaha, I did the same thing when I was 9! ;D
