Audio tracks

Audio Track from Lost in Time

Lost in Time and other games contain one or more seperate audio tracks on CD. If you want to use these with ScummVM you will have to extract them from the CD and encode them in either mp3, flac or ogg. Install lame, flac or vorbis-tools. You can use a GUI like Grip or the command line.

Grip

If you want to use Grip you'll have to install grip and an encoder.
Open the config tab and choose the favored encoder in "Encode". The bitrate must be constant you can configure this in additional encoding options.
Insert the CD in your CD-ROM drive and choose the track you want to extract and encode in "Tracks".
Open "Rip" and choose "Rip+Encode"
After ripping the desired files rename the tracks: track1.xxx track2.xxx etc. - xxx is the filename extension e.g. mp3
Copy the tracks into the game folder

Command line

Some examples for using the command line. Details can be found in the manual pages.

MP3

lame -t -q 0 -b 96 track1.wav track1.mp3

Ogg Vorbis

oggenc -q 5 track1.wav

Flac

flac --best track1.wav
