I was listening to the lobby music through headphones and realized it sounded oddly tinny, so I listened to the itunes OST album and discovered that they seriously crushed the music files in the game itself. I've never really modded a game before, but I could I'd like to try to fix this myself by replacing the in game music with the soundtrack release version. Is there a guide I can use to do this?
Any guides on music modding?

The OGG files were done by SEGA around 96kbps, probably to keep the download smaller back in the day.
Some of the OGG files are a pain to replace, like the sl_*ogg files for exploration and combat as they are sort of a mishmash of multiple parts of a song and have to be reconstructed in the same fashion.
The OGG player in PSO also reads metadata from the OGG files which it uses for loop starts and ends.
I mean, you could very well replace it, but it's probably more time consuming than it's worth for some of the files.

Here's a forum thread. It's a pretty complete guide.
