I didn't know archive.org runs old games by emulation right in the browser. That's just fantastic!
All sorts of things! We're proud of it.

#25This 1.3 TB collection of MP3s is wonderful! The Hobbit search/player makes it much more manageable. There's some rare songs from a band I like (Something Like Silas) that I know are in the archive.

There doesn't appear to be any way to contribute. The source for the viewer is here: https://archive.org/details/myspace_dragon_hoard_searcher Using Firefox, if you open up viewer.js in the debugger and set a breakpoint on line 265 where archiveurl is being set and select a track to play, you should be able to manually pick out either the zip file that contains it, or the file inside with the weird, jumbled name.
I've also added a download link to the player, so it's easier to get at the original mp3s now. However, it'll still have the obfuscated hash filename - I tried using the "download" attribute on the download href, but unfortunately it runs into issues with CORS.
