About VGM files

VGM (Video Game Music) files are an audio file format that stores music from video games, particularly those from older gaming systems like the Sega Genesis. Known for their ability to preserve the nostalgic sound of classic games, VGM files are a favorite among retro gaming enthusiasts. However, using VGM files can present several challenges, notably their limited compatibility with modern media players and devices.

Converting VGM files to more widely supported formats can enhance their usability. Common target formats include WAV, MP3, FLAC, and OGG. Software options for converting VGM files include foobar2000 with relevant plugins and VLC Media Player. These applications offer robust support but may require additional configuration to handle VGM files effectively.

Conversion of VGM files involves several considerations. Maintaining sound quality is crucial, as improper conversion can lead to audio degradation. Ensuring that metadata and loop points are preserved is also essential for retaining the original listening experience. Additionally, the technical complexity involved in setting up conversion software can be daunting for users unfamiliar with audio processing.

Despite these challenges, converting VGM files remains a popular choice for users seeking greater flexibility in how they enjoy video game music. However, the process can be simplified by using the free and easy-to-use Convert.Guru. This platform allows users to drag-n-drop their VGM files for conversion to various formats without the need for complex software installations.


The VGM Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best VGM converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
