WRONG! Applications shouldn't store their settings in the registry. It centralizes application-specific data, making the reinstallation, copying, and settings tweaking of applications more cumbersome. For all of my programs, I use these "Windows 3.1 compatibility" functions to read/write settings to a .ini configuration file that can be placed in the directory with a program. They're actually far easier to use than the registry, too, and with minimal drawbacks. Over the years, I've been refining these functions with a wrapper module that makes accessing application settings even easier, which you can download here. It includes the following members:

• ConfigFile
• Class KeyPair
• Function Backup()
• Function Clear()
• Function ClearKey()
• Function ClearSection()
• Function DeleteSection()
• Function ReadFloatKey()
• Function ReadIntKey()
• Function ReadSection()
• Function ReadSectionNames()
• Function ReadStringKey()
• Function RestoreBackup()
• Function WriteKey()
• Function WriteSection()

This is the complete original Deus Ex soundtrack which I have converted to VBR MP3 format. I did this compilation because the official soundtrack is missing a large number of tracks, and some of those that are present are not the same versions from the original game (probably closer to the PS2 versions).

But this isn't just a straight MOD-to-MP3 rip. I have also resampled any noticeably poor quality samples (e.g. hissing, distortions, pops) and arranged the tracks for mostly correct pattern order and also aurally pleasing order. Finally, I recorded the MODs to lossless PCM and then VBR (-V 4) MP3 using Lame. Files are named such that they are in chronological game order.
