No comparison necessary, unless you've forgotten how the PC version usually sounds.
No new build of DTPKUtil yet, because I'm confused and need to make some further adjustments. After comparing more Shenmue 1 tracks between the original and PC port, I found that the samples appeared to be 32-bit in the PC version instead of 16-bit on DC. So I wrote logic to "convert" samples to 32-bit, producing what I thought was correct. I kept the option to decompress for Dreamcast, even though it didn't seem very useful.
The track I was initially testing with sounded much better after converting samples to 32 bit, so I decided to test with something that was actually broken in the PC version - Queen's Street being the first obvious one. I converted the DC track to 32-bit samples and tried it in the game - everything was too low pitch. I confirmed with an audio editor that it was roughly half of what I was expecting. So I tried the DC decompress feature on it's own (keep 16-bit) and got what's in the video above. Which honestly sounds perfect to me and much better than what's in the stock PC release.
Now I need to figure out what's actually correct. Did they change Shenmue 1 to 32-bit while keeping 2 at 16-bit, or was there just a bug in my previous release that I fixed unintentionally? New build coming soon when I figure out what's going on and have time to poke around some more.

I received a PM from a user asking about the MIDI dump feature in the AOSDK fork I mentioned earlier in this thread. Yes, that fork of AOSDK will do that but it's just getting you raw notes & timing (no effects) with no instruments assigned and sample files without loop points. If you do music work and that still interests you here is the MIDI dump of Shenmue 1 and the other for Shenmue 2.

Absolutely amazing work, Sappharad! D3T should have hired you to help finish working on the music!

I think someone there already had the right idea, but they couldn't use it for reasons yet unknown.
I was curious as to two things:
- Why do Dreamcast format songs even work in this port of the Xbox version after the samples have been converted? The file formats are different enough that they'd need two separate playback engines.
- Are those the only two formats supported, or can I shove something else in there?
To answer #2, I started disassembling the EXE and found the answer to another mystery from Page 1. Remember how I mentioned there were already DC format songs in the game data? I believe the game already has a complete set of audio in both formats. The function that builds the music paths actually builds two different paths: /SCENE/nn/SOUND/<filename>.snd and /SCENE/nn/SOUND/<filename>_dc.snd
Then it eventually continues and uses the .snd version of the file. I haven't figured out where it makes the decision to do that yet, but I managed to hijack the result at a breakpoint and force it to use the _dc version just once. The result? It loaded the Dreamcast version of the song as expected and it sounds as good as the video above.
In short, the game already contains the Dreamcast soundtrack and can even toggle between DC or the poorly supported Xbox version. What I haven't figured out yet is where it decides to use the .snd file instead of _dc.snd because it knows about both. I tried to cheat and change both paths to the _dc one but that just resulted in a crash, so I need to trace further upstream to wherever it decides to go with the one it does. If this works we don't need to distribute pre-modded files, just a small patch to the game.
Outstanding questions:
1. Since the game already has the DC soundtrack built in, how complete is it? Was this an option they were planning to include but it got cut before the game was finished?
If anyone else wants to look further before I get back to it, here are useful places to stick breakpoints:
Shenmue2.exe+57c886 - Append snd suffix
Shenmue2.exe+3d81cc - If _dc version is in memory here, it will be used. Some sort of load method called for most files.

I talked to @LemonHaze on Discord and made more progress as well as answered some questions.
and there's no extra reference to _dc there. It builds the file name and puts it into r8, which is passed to the function that loads the music.
Due to #3, a game patch to use the included DC music would need to be slightly more elaborate than just forcing it to always use Dreamcast tracks. I don't know yet if I'm going to:
A. Write elaborate patch that selectively swaps to DC tracks when they can be used
B. Just let everyone replace the tracks that they want to via Forklift
Option B is probably easiest and I'll try to provide instructions later on how to convert songs along with a new version of DTPKUtil that will make it easier.
- The .SND loader only supports 3 formats - XBOX music, Dreamcast music, and sound effects.
- The extra logic which appends _dc.snd during the loading process is not controlled by a flag, it's just debug logic. The game will not load Dreamcast audio on its own. Since it's tied to the debug message output, I'm assuming at this point that it was either for testing purposes or an unfinished feature that got cut.
- The Dreamcast soundtrack included with the game appears to be incomplete, the game will crash in various places if you patch it to load Dreamcast music. For example, when you start a new game the intro works fine, but the harbor area crashes on load. If you load a save file on Queens Street, that works fine, but walk to Workers Pier and it crashes trying to load that. The code that builds the file name used to load areas is at:

Wow, so there is perfectly working music already built in basically? Why where they messing around with the Xbox stuff then.
Cannot wait to see more results of this and mess around with this myself. If this can ultimately fix all the rerelease issues and wrongdoing introduced with the Xbox version then that's terrific!

You can have this now with the latest release of DTPKUtil:
github.com
Command line support for decompression was added, and I converted all of Disc 1 music for testing purposes over and played through to see what would happen here. The result was what you see above.
As for the rest of the music - it's a mixed bag and you shouldn't actually convert all DC tracks at this time. Some tracks are perfect, others have the wrong pitch on specific instruments. I'm guessing this is related to one of the unknown flags and will continue looking into it. I'd say about half of it is perfect at this point so if someone really wanted they could pick out just the tracks that are different / wrong and hopefully all of those might be OK.

Is there a quick guide for Dummies (aka people like me) to run this?

The easiest thing to do would be for me to provide an easy way for someone to just process the GDI image automatically and spit out converted files. But since a good portion of the tracks still need additional work to convert correctly, that is not a good idea right now. That leaves us with picking and converting individual tracks that we know work as the best option right now, but I'm not aware of anyone building a list of what tracks are what. For example, I only know 0002_006 is the intro music because I've memorized that having used it so much for testing. Do we have a list that correlates tracks to the file names?
A simplified version of the steps you need to do right now:
- Extract desired tracks from the Dreamcast version. They are in the folder /SCENE/<discNumberHere>/SOUND/
- Use DTPKUtil to decompress those tracks manually. If you're an advanced user, you can write a bat file or PowerShell script to use the command line argument I added to decompress that way. It will automatically ignore files that are not music, so if you want to be lazy and feed it the entire SOUND folder that's fine, you'll only get output for the actual music files.
- Install forklift (see elsewhere, since that's documented)
- In your /mods/ folder, put the converted music where it came from in the original game. Ex: /mods/SCENE/01/SOUND/ for disc 1.
It's probably reasonable for me to just upload pre-converted files, since you need the game to use them anyway. But I'm not going to do that until everything's been tested.
I have a comprehensive list of what file is what music in Shenmue II. That huuuuuge soundtrack...
Going back to the inital post, that means we still need fixes for (at least) 0018_005, 0034_002 and 0026_009 and I'll add 0005_009 now, because that track became way too loud in the Xbox version

Going back to the inital post, that means we still need fixes for (at least) 0018_005, 0034_002 and 0026_009 and I'll add 0005_009 now, because that track became way too loud in the Xbox version

@BlueMue - Thanks for the list.
I've updated DTPKUtil one last time:
github.com
The option "Expand to 32-bit" has been renamed to "Expand Samples to Playback rate" and you now should be using it when converting from Dreamcast to PC. (The command line argument for it is still -decompress32) I identified one of the unknown flags as denoting whether a sample is stored at half-rate (11025hz instead of 22050hz) and all of the samples with that flag set need to be expanded for correct playback in the ports. The 3rd set of numbers in the sample table that I assumed was always 0 is also not always 0, sometimes it's 0x80 and this also denotes samples are stored at half frequency (or bitrate?). Either way, those needed to be doubled as well. I previously believed that they just converted everything to 32-bit samples for the PC port of Shenmue 1, but after going back I see the tracks I was using as reference all had the previously unknown flags set. So the option to expand no longer expands everything, just the samples that need it for the PC version.
I converted all of Disc 1 and played through it with DC format music. Everything I heard sounds perfect to me now, with the one exception being Lucky Charm Qr. Day sounds off but I can't be 100% certain because I had to use the really crappy speakers built into my monitor instead of good speakers. Besides, if that one track is wrong, just omit that one.
Nothing on Disc 2, 3, or 4 has been tested because I don't have save files there and haven't had time to speed run through the rest of the game.
Is there any interest in me uploading all of the converted DC music so you don't have to follow a tutorial to convert it yourself? 239MB 7zipped for everything. While it's kind of awkward to be posting all of the game music, the files are completely useless unless you own the game so I'd be posting it in good faith and Sega can always complain later if they don't like it. Otherwise I'd just need to add a feature to the app that lets you provide Dreamcast disc images and it reads them from there, but I'm not too interested in doing that.
With this, the only music left to restore should be the tracks not stored in .SND format. That would include 2 of the streaming tracks that BlueMue mentioned in his initial post from the beginning and end of disc 4.

Used the upload site that LemonHaze used earlier in the thread:
anonfile.com
If there are complications with that service I'll just upload it to my site later. Enjoy!
In the event of any problems with a full replacement, we can make note of them and just drop the ones that don't sound right unless they also happen to be broken in the original state too.

At the moment I'm going to refrain, because I just tried it and it's really fast:
Does anyone else have experiences to report, good or bad? Even if I upload it to my site, it might not help and the performance could just be due to the servers being located far away from you.
