Where can I get MP3s of Keen music?

Post by Scilicet »

I'd like to download most of the songs from Keens 4-6 so I can listen to them on my MP3 player. The only site I found, Keito's page, where I downloaded the unused Keen 5 song, is no longer extant. I downloaded the music pack from the Keen Wiki, but when I tried to extract the files, I got a message telling me to "Please insert the last disk of the multi-volume set and click OK to continue."

The songs were posted on Youtube by a user named ZeSpekov. You can convert them to MP3 here: http://www.zamzar.net/url/
Just enter the address of the video, select MP3, enter your email adress and you're ready to go!
The biggest drawback is that if you want a lot of songs, this can become pretty tedious, as the upload/download isn't very fast (unless you have an account there).

I saw those songs, but I'm not sure I want to download them because each song plays at least twice. If I can't find anything else, I probably will.

Step 1: Bug Paramultart, he has all of them already
Step 2: Repeat step 1 until success is achieved.
