I may be nitpicky, but it irks me that the Orange Box Soundtrack MP3 tags are so disorganised. I guess I can understand that certain songs are untitled, but for instance, in Portal, one song is titled "Your Not A Good Person". Your? Seriously? This is just terrible.
Also, what's with the track numbers in the song titles? It doesn't look very good.
I wish the tracks were fully tagged as well, with the year and track number tags.

Your. Seriously. Fix at least this, please.


P.S.: Does Dylan still look at the forum and/or update the game? Been a while since the last one.

While not ideal, you could just retag your copy of the tracks if it bothers you so much.
They're in Steam\steamapps\common\audiosurf\engine\Orange Box Soundtrack

I did that for the Portal folder, but it's hard and tedious when almost every track (from the other games) is unnamed.

if they're unnamed, it's because Valve never named them, and they're property of Valve, so Dylan can't just freely edit their tags (imo)...

Dylan didn't ship the OB sound track, it's Valve, and thus not Dylan's typos. Though miss-usage "your" and "you're" annoys me as well.

Screw Valve for making the leaderboards ugly and inconsistent, then.

You mean "misuse".

If you're changing the tags, it's you who's making the scoreboards inconsistent, regardless of whether the original tags use proper grammar.

"Misuse" is a real word. "Miss-usage" isn't.

I'm not the only one.

Either way, it seems the tags become unreadable by Audiosurf when modified.

Then you're not the only one making the scoreboards inconsistent.

Also, make sure you're changing the tags and not the filenames.  Using the rightclick->properties method should be good enough.
