This guide is intended to help users convert the music of Space Engineers. If you want to share it, that's fine. If you want to upload a video to Youtube explaining this, that's fine, always when it's not monetized.

The ZIP package will let you to convert the music of SE. But where to find it?

Just follow this link: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32075/? > Files > Download manually > Pick one of the normal servers and the download will start.

It's 515KB, so you won't have to worry about your HDD.

Notice that you require a program to open ZIP packages. I recommend WinRAR. http://www.winrar.es (or .com)

Once you downloaded it, descompress it within a new file of the same name.

The new folder you descompressed should have the following archives:


Now, we have to go to the music files of the game. It should be on \SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Audio\MUS

You'll find several folders:


Enter inside these folders and copy the music to the new file you made. Don't select folder, just enter within the folders, select the XWM music files and put them in the new folder.

When you're done with all the folders, it should be like this:


Now, we are ready to start.

Okay, don't go scared. First of all, you need to think that it's easy, but it takes time. (it costed me a hour, but it's worth)

The conversion only can be made manually. That means that it's not the typical program of one click and you're converting all the music. And it's necessary that the XWM files are in the same folder or it won't work.

Meet our friend cmd.exe... Click on it and it will show a black window like this:


If you are familiar with the Operative System "MSDOS" you'll be fine. If not... well, you'll be a bit tired after the conversion but trust me: it's worth.

Okay, let's get started. To convert the music, you have to write down:

• The name of the executable it comes with the ZIP file: xWMAEncode.exe
  
• The name of the XWM file. It has to be exact or it won't work. Example: Mus_calm_a_MM.xwm
  
• The name of the future WAV file. It doesn't have to be exact, but recommended. Example: Mus_calm_a_MM.wav

Thus, your entire command should be for something like this:

xWMAEncode.exe nameofthemusic.xwm nameofthemusic.wav


Let's go start with the first file in the list:

xWMAEncode.exe Mus_calm_a_MM.xwm Mus_calm_a_MM.wav

Respect the spaces and the underscores at all times!

After one command, if everything's okay, your window will be frozen for 1 or 3 seconds, depending of the length of the music. After that, you'll see that a new WAV file comes to the folder: it's the new music you just converted. Congratulations!

Keep in mind that you have to do this 87 times, with different names. If you're an expert on MSDOS, you'll probably spend 30 minutes doing this; if you're a novice, 1 hour.


Once you're finished... It's finished. Now you can hear the outstanding music of SE where you want when you want. =)

This section will be updated with the questions you're making in the comments section. Ask me what's your problem and maybe I'll fix it!

Question: These WAV files take too much space! Do you know any way to convert them to another format?
Answer: You can convert the WAV files to MP3 for example. I personally use aTube Catcher to convert them. (in fact I recommend it) Link: http://www.atube.me/video/

Question: Can I upload the music to Youtube?
Answer: You're going to contact with the developers, there's to much copyright laws in Youtube and you may don't want to take risks. Also, if you're going to upload the videos and monetize them, probably it won't be funny for the devs... I mean, you're getting money for uploading a video to Youtube, and if you get too much money than a doctor, fireman, or teacher just for uploading videos... well, that's out of question, right? Oh! I saw a new video, "Episode 3.295.921 of Slender Walkthrough"! I bet it will be so original!
