You guys and more need an explanation of what is on my plate with maintaining this mod:

I don't have access to the computer which held the original main theme or songs, or the scholastically licensed Adobe Audition, so that I can re-upload or create a new one in full quality.

Since I don't have the original files and .ogg is lossy format, any re-upload will ♥♥♥♥ the songs quality.

NARA (US National Archives) also now requires an exorbitant fee to digitally download most archived content. Most of these 'public domain music tracks' in the mod that I previously was able to get cheaply or free, now are very difficult to obtain as they also no longer post samples for quality assurance so finding them (and in good quality) will be difficult and expensive.

Yes we pay taxes for NARA on the backend, but now we get to pay on the frontend as well.

Also the NARA under the Biden appointee has removed Schm*tler speeches from public access in NARA. You can only request extremist content for proven educational usage--.edu sponsored, historical use, etc. (luckily I have 'reason' to access these as I double as a poly-sci undergraduate, but paying is another story).

I also no longer have access to deemix (the arrgh version of deezer) which helped with obtaining songs from John Williams, Klaus Badelt, and others, in the right Hz and bitrate for Clausewitz Engine so that you don't hear snaps and crackles like with most music mods for hoi4.

Some of these problems are fixable in median time, and with the internet finding *less obvious* ways to obtain music is relatively easy.

However, the priority reason I struggle with updating is because I don't have access to the python script I made over the course of like 40 hours with brute force (I have no experience in python) to make downloading and renaming HD songs for the localizations swift. There's 100+ songs, and having to alphabetize everything manually every time I add in, say 10 new songs sucks complete ass.

Imagine if I had to do this all over again from scratch, no script, it's hours upon hours of work. The script itself also took me weeks to make because I am no python coder, I brute forced it.

The main problem is a script which automatically will do the localizations. If anyone is willing to help create or find a script, let me know. It'll incentivize me to do the rest.
