foo_input_usf is an input plugin for Foobar2000.
USF is a format which allows emulation of the sound of an Nintendo 64, which would allow (almost) perfect replication of the music in games. USFs are then played through a player, with a suitable plugin, which allows it to be played.

Youtube: What is MusicBrainz Picard?
MusicBrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public.
MusicBrainz aims to be:
- The ultimate source of music information by allowing anyone to contribute and releasing the data under open licenses.
- The universal lingua franca for music by providing a reliable and unambiguous form of music identification, enabling both people and machines to have meaningful conversations about music.
- Like Wikipedia, MusicBrainz is maintained by a global community of users and we want everyone β including you β to participate and contribute.

The goal is to make sure the album image is preserved accurately. A lossless disc image must be lossless not only in preserving contents of the audio tracks, but also in preserving gaps and CUE sheet contents. Many applications lose vital information upon conversion, and don’t support all possible CUE sheet styles.
Supports AccurateRip
