What is a .FSB file?
An .FSB file is a type of audio file specifically used for storing sounds for video games. It stands for FMOD Sound Bank. This file is created by a tool called FMOD Designer, which, although it is no longer being updated, was used by sound designers to create and manage sounds and music for video games. Inside an FSB file, you can find a collection of different sounds, like music tracks or sound effects that are used in a game.
These FSB files usually work together with another file type called .FEV. The .FEV files have important information that tells the video game when and how to play the sounds stored in the FSB files. This means that for a game to use the sounds correctly, it needs both the FSB file (which has the sounds) and the FEV file (which tells the game how to use those sounds).
To open an FSB file and listen to the sounds or music it contains, you can use several different programs: 1. **vgmstream** - This is a tool that can open and play FSB files. It's designed to work with various video game audio formats, including FSB.
2. **Music Player EX** - Another program that can play FSB files. It's a music player that supports a wide range of audio formats from video games.
3. **Foobar2000 with vgmstream plug-in installed** - Foobar2000 is a popular music player for Windows, and by installing the vgmstream plug-in, it can also play FSB files.
4. **Nullsoft Winamp with vgmstream plug-in installed** - Winamp is another well-known music player. Like Foobar2000, it can play FSB files if you install the vgmstream plug-in.
5. **vgmstream-web** - This is a web-based tool that lets you play FSB files directly in your web browser. It's handy if you don't want to download and install software just to listen to an FSB file.
These programs are specifically designed to handle the FSB file format and allow you to explore or enjoy the audio content of video games, even if you're not playing the game itself.
