All right, I know this is pretty much dead, but I actually more or less finished the project I was working on quite a while ago and was just too lazy to post it. It's a compilation album of selected songs from The Way's soundtrack composed of midi-mp3 soundfont conversions (see my above post), and the actual source songs.
As for the logic behind the song choices and conversion/original decisions... hell if I remember. Pretty sure I was at least partly drunk when I did this. I think I first tried to choose some of the more memorable, more commonly used songs, then from those chose ones that either had decent originals I could get a hold of easily, or had decent sounding conversions. That's why songs like Strata's theme aren't in there, since any conversions I did sounded horrible. I probably missed some easy choices, but I'm too lazy to go back and check now. Besides, I trust drunk me, don't you?
So here it is in all its glory. It's 32 songs compressed in a 76 MB RAR (if you can't open it download WinRAR or 7zip or upgrade from Windows 3.1) with a readme file detailing the choice I made for each song.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/sxwq1kApologies in advance for any volume issues, though I don't think there are any. Also sorry most of the conversions have silences at the beginning. Those are also present in the midis. If you've never heard them note that rm2k cuts them out by default. Again, I was too lazy to edit them out myself.
Like I said before, if anyone has any specific coversion requests I can try and process them as well. Since the originals for a ton of songs can found be found on youtube, I updated the
Music Tracking topic with links for every known song I could find.
