			:Aaaaaand five years later the mp3 links are added. But I do note the above reason for inclusion of .ogg (only format that can be included in the game). I would have done that too but don't know where to get the URLs for them (other than guessing them all and downloading them to check, which I don't really want to do). Hoping to add non-Precursors remixes too. --[[User:Zeracles\|Zeracles]] ([[User talk:Zeracles\|talk]]) 10:10, 9 June 2013 (CEST)

	I came here looking for the original shofixti and orz music, seeing how it's mangled with hip-hop and bad vocals on the precursor pages. I want the pre-hiphop + vocal versions. I hope i can find an archive somewhere...		I came here looking for the original shofixti and orz music, seeing how it's mangled with hip-hop and bad vocals on the precursor pages.

	Given some of the comments above and some of my own musings, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to reorganize the page so that the breakdown is by version first (original PC, Precursor remixes, Other remixes) and then by race. One of the reasons I lean towards this kind of format is that it's more akin to how I organize the music in my mind: I've got the original vinyl album with the PC mods, then the CD with the Precursor remixes, then everything else - I don't really think about it first in terms of the races. Of course, I could be totally at odds to how everyone else thinks about this. This format would also allow us to explain what (and why) each set is in a certain format, and provide directions on media players for the unique ones. Thoughts? Yea or nay? --[[User:Fyzixfighter\|Fyzixfighter]] 18:17, 8 February 2008 (CET)		Given some of the comments above and some of my own musings, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to reorganize the page so that the breakdown is by version first (original PC, Precursor remixes, Other remixes) and then by race.

	:Well, one of the reasons we provide the MOD format is because that was how the original SC2 was done. We try to do the same thing with images - provide the original, raw format and let people edit/change format/post-process however they like. That said, looking at the Shofixti music, the MOD format linked to here is the correct, original one and the link is good. I'd recommend downloading the file, saving it to your computer, and then using a file converter to get it into mp3 format. If you don't have a file converter, a quick search of the web will probably turn up a useful, freeware one - I just did a quick search and found an online site (media-convert dot com) that does it free, and did it in less than two minutes (you only have to endure the annoying ads all over the site while it does this).

	P.S.: I intend to email the mp3 versions to a few friends who aren't technically savvy enough to install a new player. I shouldn't have to perform 20 hours of file conversions, internet archive digging, player configuring, and alternate song version hunting to do that all over again (and fail like the first time, probably)... i managed to install no less than 4 players who claim they can play ogg or MOD, before finding out the song is an alternate version of much lower artistic merit this is hell.
