    I tried lotro-abc and added around 5 songs and they all sucked. I even used them with multiple instruments and not one sounded good.


    anyone know an actually good site?

    Look harder. There's a ton of good ones lol; you just have to try em out and see what you like.

    "5" songs aint jack. There's a lot of bad, and a lot of good, it's a matter of finding them. It's ABC files, not MP4 - don't expect the best quality.

    If I can't play some bon jovi, johnny cash, and some queen I don't care about the other shit songs on that site.

    The only shit songs are the ones you just mentioned. They aint typically gonna work on starbound based instruments, lmao. You wanna listen to it, listen to the mp4, you wont find that type of 'music' for abc files that sound just like it.

    If you're expecting anything more than simple sounds actually sounding good from .abc files you're mistaken.

    Not necessarily. I have a bunch of Queen and Iron Maiden among other things and they translated anywhere from passably to actually pretty decent.

    starbards.net is pretty okay. They have a small selection but you can request songs if you want. The songs are specifically written to sound nice in Starbound. I have tried out a few and they all sound great.

    EDIT: Just wanted to add that the selection is expanding very fast, I checked out this site two days ago and the songs have almost doubled.

    nice! there really are only a few songs, but listening to the previews of a few, they sound pretty good with starbound instruments!

    Is it really that hard to google "abc notation"?

    I asked the people, I didn't ask google.
    there is a difference because you guys have recently used them and know what works best.
    Thanks

    There is a post up on the Steam forum from a guy who has created a download with 190 songs that he took the time to verify would actually work in the game:
    http://steamcommunity.com/app/211820/discussions/0/648813728579385839/ (and yes the d/l is safe, I've checked it myself - good stuff). And yes, there are bon jovi, cash and queen songs in his download.

    He does mention in his post that a lot of abc files he checked would crash the game, so it is a matter of trial and error to find good song files.
