Soundtracks Missing From Soundtracks Library

[NerdyTB]

As someone who avidly collects video game soundtracks, the addition of a Soundtrack library is rather neat. However, I have noticed that quite a few of my soundtracks are not showing up in said library. I have made a list of all of them:

Age of Wonders: Trilogy Soundtrack (No Longer on Store)

Bastion: Original Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library)

Battletech Soundtrack (Battletech Digital Deluxe Content DLC)

The Binding of Isaac Soundtrack (DLC, not showing up in Library or as purchasable)

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library)

Crypt of the Necrodancer Original Danny Baranowsky Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library) (EDIT: Has been added as of 1/24/2020)

Crypt of the NecroDancer Extended Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library) (EDIT: Has been added as of 1/24/2020

Crypt of the NecroDancer Extended Soundtrack 2 (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library) (EDIT: Has been added as of 1/25/2020

Evoland 2 - Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library)

FTL: Faster Than Light - Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library)

Hack 'n' Slash Soundtrack (DLC, not showing up in Library or as purchasable)

Pathfinder: Kingmaker - OST (DLC, not showing up in Library or as purchasable)

Plague Inc: Evolved Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library)

Psychonauts Original Score (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library)

Sanctum: Official Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library) (EDIT: Has been added as of 1/17/2020)

Starbound - Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library)

Teleglitch Soundtrack (Teleglitch: Guns and Tunes DLC)

Wanderlust Adventures - Official Soundtrack (Not correctly processed as Soundtrack in Library)

War for the Overlord Soundtrack (War for the Overworld - Underlord Edition Upgrade DLC)

I hope this list helps in getting these soundtracks implemented into the new library.

I think it will depends on the developers to use the new system, otherwise they will be stuck as DLC. There is going to be a sale focussed on games with soundtracks on Steam this 20, so maybe a lot of them will get an update then.

Yeah... They have to manually go into their dev account and select the new app type first.

Looks like the Sanctum soundtrack just got transferred over.

But badly. At least for me, it doesn't download anything. If you go to the folder no music is there.
I already reported it on the game's discussions.

Ah I see. Yeah, it seems Coffee Stain Studios neglected to actually add the music files.
It seems the order the files are put in also affects how they are played, since currently Steam plays the songs by file name, not by track and disk number. As it would be unreasonable to force every developer to format their file names a certain way, organization by track/disk number should be standard.

I just hope they update the whole music player. It was already mediocre when they launched it, but now it feels like a relic. It needs to be integrated on the Steam window somehow, maybe at the left side of the "Friends and Chat" button.
I assume they will scrap the old music UI list too at some point, because it makes no sense now.

Alright, the original Crypt of the Necrodancer soundtrack just got switched over, and as with Sanctum, does not have the music files just yet. Looks like it takes around 1-3 business days for the files to properly update.

I'm waiting on Croteam still...

That's odd, Sanctum does have the files for me now. Try to reinstall it.

[NerdyTB]

No, I was saying it took a few days for Sanctum, so it might for Crypt as well.

Oh sorry, now I get it.

I suppose most of them will transfer to the new format sooner or later. The problem will be with games that offer their soundtracks as an extra and part of the main game (like The Witcher 3). These soundtracks don´t have a DLC associated, and they don´t have their own APPID. So most of developers won´t bother to create a new package or something.

I actually have a case like that already. Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP has its soundtrack included by default when you buy the game and is already using the new system. However you cannot get the Soundtrack for free like the Portal 2 soundtrack. If you press the button to go to the Soundtrack's Store page on the library, it just take you to the main store page.
I suppose thats the developer's decission. But it seems it can be solved.

I think is going to be more of an issue for games like the Neptunia series or any other game that has its soundtrack associated to a "Special Edition" DLC, that not only contains the soundtrack, but also some actual DLC extras. They will not be able to offer the option to buy just the Soundtrack unless they separate it from the DLC bundle.

It seems that three new DLCs has been created for The Witcher 3. So maybe CDPR are indeed separating the soundtrack for the game and its two expansions.
