Caution: My bandwith isn't the best and my PC isn't on h24, so please seed this as much as you possibly can.
This should be it. The best way to listen to most tracks produced for the Umineko visual novel, with nearly all tracks taken from the highest quality possible from clean sources, mainly from lossless rips.
FOR INDIVIDUAL TRACKS AND SOURCES, CHECK THE "sources & credits.txt" FILES IN EVERY FOLDERS.
The main point of this release is to try and make a COMPLETE, FULL release at the highest possible quality, in just one single and simpler release, meant to be listened to in audio players witout relying on a hundred different albums and formats. Meaning that it's all neatly and appropriately tagged. But if you do wish to use romaji/japanese track names, the .txt files inside each folder will help you sort that out easily.
Almost every track is taken from a CD release (the original game's soundtrack is at a pretty low bitrate). It's all seperated by episode, and ordered by (true) order of appearance.
All albums are tagged by Disc number too, so if you don't want the albums to be seperated, and prefer having just one album containing all tracks (which i personally don't recommend because there are so many and it's harder to look for specific tracks),just rename all 8 albums as one standalone album name to whatever you want and the episodes will still be seperated and not mixed up.
The jukebox ingame actually doesn't display the right order for the songs, so I decided to skim through the whole VN to make sure they're ordered just right.
Because some tracks are unfortunately lossy, a small portion of them were converted from lossy (OGG/MP3) to FLAC. This is for convenience sake, to avoid relying on multiple formats at the same time.
It's true that they're heavier than they should be but it's still better than mixing OGG/MP3 with FLAC, I think. If you want to know the exact source of every tracks, check out the "sources & credits.txt" files in every folders.
Track names are based on the Witch Hunt translation, but the "sources & credits" files contain both the Witch Hunt translations of track names as well as the kana AND romaji names for all tracks.
Meaning that if you prefer using kana/romaji names over the english ones, please refer yourself to those files to retag the release as you want to. The "sources & credits.txt" files also contain a complete and accurate credit guideline. Composers, Arrangers, Vocalists & Lyricists, they were all carefully tagged and sorted so there should be next to no problem when it comes to that.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Riz, Mizuki Kitaohji, Kakka, karina, grasun cat are all the same person. [https://vgmdb.net/artist/15613] In this release, this artist is named as "grasun cat" (the game uses Mizuki Kitaohji)
For this release, I also decided to add as many remixes and re-arrangements in an optional folder called "Umineko no Naku Koro ni Remixed & Re-Arranged". Check the enclosed .txt file for more info about that.
A lot of tracks sound different between the ingame version and the CD versions. Quite notably tracks like Dead Angle and LixAxil. Usually, I put the "best sound" version in the episodes, and the "old/ingame" one in the remix album.
Same for the short and full versions of the insert songs. For the soundtrack I've only put the full versions of songs. If you want the instrumentals, off-vocals and other game sized versions, check the remix album.
So don't worry, absolutely everything should be here here.

Note that I've uploaded this on Youtube, if you want to check them out here! (doesn't include all tracks unique to this FLAC release, however)

@ me on twitter at @Fivda_ if you're faced with any kind of problem, or if you've got a FLAC releases of the lossy files.
If you've got some of the few lossy releases available in FLAC instead of MP3 or OGG, i'd gladly take them and add them to this collection.
It's a real shame the game didn't receive a full soundtrack release, otherwhise I would have never had to do this but hey, this soundtrack deserves
to be listened in the best possible conditions.
Peace!
