I havent touched this entry in such a long time, but it seems it isnt compatible with every type of pc running windows 10 out there, like my own, so if this is the case for you too then grab this version:

Original Description

This is something that was lost to the commuity a long time ago, and now have the chance to get it again! :)

This is a simple mp3 to bmu, easy and perfect for converting files for nwn1 music files.

even though Audacity has the same capability this is basic, simple, and works. If you want more control options than stick with audacity. This more for anyone, like myself, who are unfamiliar with other programs.

Thats pretty much it, its here for anyone to use. so enjoy it!

As I said over on the Beamdog boards -

Try this. Create your mp3. Open it in notepad++. You'll see what looks like garbage. Don't panic. Put your cursor at the very start of the file. Type (or cut from here and paste into your mp3) "BMU V1.0" without the quotes. Change the extension from mp3 to bmu. I am suggesting this because a good while ago I noticed that mp3 files were just 8 bytes shorter than the bmu file that they converted to. So I used winmerge to compare them. Those 8 characters I am telling you to add and where to add them were the only difference.

Things to remember. Your mp3 must be saved with constant bit rate. I can't remember the sampling rate or whether it needs to be mono or stereo but I think it is mono.

This thread on the vault should answer some of your questions.

I have used this utility for years and am very, very happy with it. All of the .mp3 files I ripped from my personal collection of CDs converts perfectly. They retain their stereo and play just fine in EE, even with the latest patch (that broke music compatiblity).

ok it converts mp3s to a bmu file ,but being a noob... how the hell do it make it usualbe in my game like to the point where i can choose it as the area sound and stuff. its in my music file and even tried adding the mus_ to the begining of the bmu. does it need to be in a hak form or something? but still super easy to convert.

Music tracks need to be in ambientmusic.2da. For distribution to other players, the 2da and music files ought to be in a hak, because overrides from different builders end up conflicting with one another.

Seems like windows 10 systems can't run this anymore. If anyone can confirm it still works we can still leave this up, otherwise i may consider taking it down. I havent been able to get this to work for some time now and read of other way's to convert files = bmu by simply re writing the file? not sure but its just an idea.

Before taking it down, one question. Does 35 work on all versions of windows? If not and this version works for those versions then it should remain.
