Usage Info

Features

Some of vgmstream's features:

  • Hundreds of video game music formats and codecs, from typical game engine files to obscure single-game codecs, aiming for high accuracy and compatibility.
  • Support for looped BGM, using file's internal metadata for smooth transitions, with accurate sample counts.
  • Subsongs, playing a format's multiple internal songs separately.
  • Many types of companion files (data split into multiple files) and custom containers.
  • Encryption keys, internal stream names, and many other unusual cases found in game audio.
  • TXTH function, to add external support for extra formats, including raw audio in many forms.
  • TXTP function, for real-time and per-file config, like forced looping, removing channels, playing certain subsong, or fusing multiple files into a single one.
  • Simple external tagging via .m3u files.
