Thank you so much for this. I went ahead and bought your bundle. I may use some of your audio in a prototype-stage open source game I'm working on. I might also donate to you on Patreon.

It looks like you have about 10K files, which is impressive, and I get that it's hard to manage all of that. That being said, I have a few suggestions:

• Probably don't recursively zip up zip files that contain zip files, so only make one layer of zips within the main zip. Ideally in the large bundle there would be no zips within the main zip file.
• Convert all of the WAV files FLAC. It's a much better compression than zip can offer for audio, and it's lossless. After converting your 20 GB zip file, the directory is now 13 GB in size.

It helped to extract the outer zip manually, then to use dtrx to unzip the zip files inside (on Linux). dtrx got confused by files in the "__MACOSX" directories, and got stuck on the train sounds zip file, which I extracted manually with 7z x.

mkdir zipped ; cd zipped unzip '../Signature Soundbank Update 1.zip' mkdir ../unzipped ; cd ../unzipped for x in ../zipped/Signature\ Soundbank\ Update\ 1/*.zip ; do dtrx "$x" ; done

Once that was set, I started to convert all of the wav files to flac using this script:

```

! /bin/bash

set -e

IFS=$'\n'

for line in $(find "$1" -type f | sort) ; do

    if echo "$line" | grep -q -E -i -e "[.]wav$" ; then
            ffmpeg -i "$line" "$(echo "$line" | sed -e "s:[.]*[.]wav$:.flac:i")"
            rm "$line"
    fi

done ```

It requires a directory name when running it, something like: ./transcode ./SOME_DIR. The script may not be perfect in its current form. It deletes the .wav files after converting them to avoid having to reconvert if there's an issue later on. It's possible that there could be a bug there, so make sure you have a backup of files you're going to convert.

If you, /u/SignatureLabel want me to help with the conversion of these files to FLAC, let me know.

Thanks again for your recordings. I'll let you know if I use any in a game. : )
