A project to add alternate audio sources for as many songs as possible, be it official covers or re-recordings, from as many albums/rhythm games as possible. (If a rhythm game licenses the original version of a song, it will not be used here. This is only for cases like Taiko no Tatsujin, where some songs have been licensed and covered for the game.) As an exception, if a game uses a weird cut of a song that makes it signifigantly harder to cut, it will be skipped over.

How to get the songs

We recommend to use git to "clone" the songs. Using git, you can avoid having to manually update the songs on your system by copying and overwriting local files. A simple git pull will make sure you have the latest version of all the .tja's.

If you don't want to use git, you can just download the project as a zip folder. We recommend against this, but it is an option.

How do I use git?

Git, in essence, is a command-line tool. However, there are graphical tools available that use git. If you want to use the command-line, you can use the following steps:

Open a CMD or Powershell command prompt
Navigate to your game directory. You can do this by typing cd <path to your game folder>
If you already have a songs folder, rename it for now. This way you have a copy, just in case
Type git clone --depth 1 -b master https://ese.tjadataba.se/RyutoSetsujin/altaudio-ese.git Songs This will download the songs from the repo. This should not take a while starting out, but as time goes on, the download times will get longer.
