Darwinia music in iTunes?

How do you work the QuickTime plugin?

Love the music in Darwinia; I was pleasantly surprised to find a plugin to enable me to play the music from Darwinia in iTunes!

However, there weren't any instructions, so I put the .qtx file in the ~/library/quicktime folder and restarted, but nothing. I'm still not sure whether it's in the right place. Assuming it is, I'm not sure how to get the music out of Darwinia
I showed the package contents, and copied out the "Sounds.dat" file, but no amount of changing this to .ogg or importing or adding to the iTunes library will make it play.

Please could someone tell me where I'm going wrong? :blink:

Yeah, the Sounds.dat file is compressed. Change it to Sounds.rar then uncompress it with UnRarX. The music files are in there.

Or, you could download the tracks from http://www.trash80.net/ and http://dma-sc.atari.org/ . They can be downloaded as mp3s, so iTunes will love them.

Thanks for the advice. I couldn't get the plugin to work, :blink: but I just used an alternate player instead.

Yeah, the only .ogg plugins that I have seen for iTunes are a bit dodgy. If anyone knows something that I don't I'd love to hear it...

Convert them to mp3 with Audacity.

I used Amadeus II (I found it substantially faster than Audacity); the end result was the same though

Yup, that is what I have been doing... it just seems like there ought to be an easier way.
