Are these listed as "composers" or just "artists" or something else?
The booklet could be wrong but it does say "all music by Yang Bang Ean" in the back and inside.

[krelian75]

All the vorbis "composer" tags are empty, I fetched the informations from the "Artist name" tags.
I sincerely don't know what info is relevant here (infos from the official soundtrack booklet OR infos from the game files themselves), but I thought this could be worth pasting here.

[Dag]

It is useful info worth having, just not sure what to make of it.
Booklets aren't necessarily 100% reliable, but this is a strange case.

[Gigablah]

Those tags do not tally with the credits given on the NCSoft website for their music download page (http://vgmdb.net/album/6667).

E.g. Kingdom of Light and Fairy of the Peace are credited to Kunihiko Ryo (Yang Bang Ean).

It seems this CD actually has two catalog numbers, one for each publisher. Endorf Music's catalog number is EDFC0809-1, while Pony Canyon Korea's catalog number is PCSD 00277. This reminds me of the numerous DigiCube releases that have a TGCS catalog number. What are those TGCS numbers linked to, and why aren't they used instead? I think we should use the SSCX numbers, but I'm curious about the TGCS numbers, as they make me wonder why the Pony Canyon number is used here rather than the Endorf Music one.

[Phonograph]

not all digicube releases have tgcs catalogues (I think dag said it could be related to jasrac but some releases with tgcs have no jasrac ids)

since pony canyon korea is the distributor, it's normal to use their catalogues
that endorf catalogue must be a catalogue for the company, a bit like fs/fa- fix records stems (when the "official" catalogues use king records stems)

[SimonJXZ]

So we're going by distributor then. It doesn't seem to always follow this pattern, but then, some distributors possibly don't have their own catalog number stem, and so it defaults to the publisher's I suppose.

At any rate, I wasn't challenging the submission of any catalog numbers, more just curious as to what some of the various ones floating around are there for.
