📋 SUMMARY — Add support for video game rip soundtrack formats (e.g. KSS, SPC, PSF, VGM, NSF, etc.) within LaunchBox and Big Box, allowing users to play and browse authentic in-game music directly from their libraries.
———
🎯 FEATURE OVERVIEW — Integrate support for common video game rip formats through vgmstream or similar libraries, making it possible to:
• Play soundtrack files inside Big Box (background music or dedicated music views).
• Associate soundtrack rips with their corresponding games in LaunchBox.
• Optionally launch external players like foobar2000 or ZX Tune when needed.
———
🛠 EXAMPLE USE CASE — A user imports their SNES library and also adds SPC soundtrack rips. While browsing games in Big Box, they can listen to the authentic soundtrack from Chrono Trigger without needing a separate music app or YouTube.
———
📦 BENEFITS —
• Gives players access to official-sounding, game-authentic tracks that might not exist as OSTs.
• Expands LaunchBox’s role beyond gameplay into archival and music enjoyment.
• Provides a legal, offline way to enjoy video game soundtracks without relying on streaming sites.
———
💡 NOTES —
• vgmstream already supports most common rip formats, so integration could leverage that library.
• Could include an optional “Soundtracks” category in Big Box for browsing imported music separately from games.
