I don't remember if I've ever advertized it here before, but years back I created a website which provides authentic recordings of Roland SC-55 music packs for various DOS games that supported it. The idea being that you can use them with modern source ports and experience them the way they were meant to be heard. I had already made Doom and Doom 2 music packs and never did find the time to finish off Final Doom (TNT: Evilution). Last week I finally got around to finishing it up and releasing it. The Doom packs work with GZDoom, ZDoom, and even Chocolate Doom (with some necessary config files, and not in Windows yet). I've also got packs already up for Duke Nukem 3D (which was used for the Megaton Edition on Steam when it was still around 🙁), Super 3D Noah's Ark (also used on the Steam port), Hocus Pocus (which works with a sweet mod for GZDoom called Hocusdoom), Rise of the Triad, Descent, and others. I'm currently working on Heretic and Hexen next with more to come (including some beta and other unreleased tracks eventually). They're all available in OGG, FLAC, and MP3 (with a few exceptions on some older packs that I need to redo).

The later packs I've made come with metadata loop tags for seamless looping playback ingame (EDuke32, GZDoom, ZDoom, and Chocolate Doom all support metadata loop tags, there's a more extensive list with details on the website) but only for OGG and FLAC. MP3s don't support custom tags so it won't work with, but they're good for throwing on your phone or whatever.
