Right-Click -> Paste. The directory should fill with 244 files.

Converting The Audio Files

Open the VGMToolbox application (e.g. VGMToolbox.exe)

On the left-side, expand the menu tree: Misc. Tools -> Extraction Tools -> Generic. Select the "Advanced Cutter/Offset Finder" menu item.

The "Advanced Cutter/Offset Finder" form should then be visible on the right pane.

From the top menu bar, select Tool -> kvs Search

In the form that opens, select Browse, and navigate to and select your "kvsOutput" directory.

Press the Search button. The form should fill with numerous rows. (see screenshot) Right-Click where the rows are displayed, and select All Convert -> Convert.

Open the MP3Tag application (e.g. Mp3tag.exe)

From the top menu bar, select "File" -> "Change directory." Navigate to and select your "oggOutput" directory

The .ogg files should populate the pane on the right side. (see screenshot) Make sure the filenames are sorted by ascending order by clicking on the table header entitled "Filename" until a upward caret appears (e.g. ^).

From the top menu bar, select "Edit" -> "Select all files"

From the top menu bar, select "Convert" -> "Text file - Tag"

On the form that opens, under the "Filename:" field, select the browse button (e.g. three dots ...)

Traverse to your "tagData" directory, and select either "Fatal Frame Collection.csv" or "Project Zero Collection.csv" (depending on region of choice)

Under the "Format string:" field, copy and paste the following line:%Title%,%Album%,%Track%,%Year%,%Filename%,%Artist% Press OK.

Wait for the files to process. Once finished, the right pane's entries should be populated with various tag information.

From the top menu bar, select "Edit" -> "Select all files"

From the top menu bar, select "File" -> "Save tag"

From the top menu bar, select "Edit" -> "Select all files"

From the top menu bar, select "Convert" -> "Tag - Filename"

In the form that appears copy and paste the following line into the textbox: %album% - $num(%track%,3) - %title% Press OK.

The filenames should be changed accordingly. (see screenshot)

Embedding Album Covers

Within the Mp3Tag application, select an entire album (e.g. Fatal Frame III: The Tormented) by holding down either Shift and Ctrl with your mouse button to select multiple files.

Once an Album set is selected, Right-Click the large white box in the bottom left corner of the application, and select "Add cover."

Navigate to the "tagData\AlbumCovers" directory and select an appropriate .jpg file.

Album covers are sorted by Region or Type, followed by game. "NoTitle" refers to the Album image shown in-game when playing soundtracks, which does not contain a game title.

Once an album cover has been selected, it should appear in place of the large white box.

(see screenshot) With the Album set still selected in Mp3Tag, select "File" -> "Save tag"

Repeat as desired for the remaining album covers.

Enjoy the Fatal Frame / Project Zero 20th Anniversary DLC Digital Soundtrack at maximum quality.Nearly all modern music players can play these files with no plugins, and most smartphones support the format natively as well.
