Anime Episode Music Project
Starting this week, we will begin to record information about the background music that plays in the Japanese episodes. The information will be displayed in the episode guide and it will allow people to click on the track to take them to the CD that the track is a part of. It will also allow viewers to listen to a brief sample of the track. Those specific features will only be available for music in the episode that has been released on CD. Unreleased tracks will also be reported but not linked to the CD database unless a new CD with the tracks becomes available.

Below are a few examples:

http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/viewep/948/Music

CD Database Integration
The CD database is directly tied to the episode guides listing of each episodes. Most tracks can be found in the Movie OST CD's or the Anime BGM sets. The CD database also lists each episode that a particular track is in with its appropriate time index in the episode as well as listing how many times that track has been used in the anime.

Unreleased Tracks
There are many tracks that have yet been released on CD. Many of them are movie related tracks, but there are also quite a few in episode tracks that have yet to be released on CD. These are cataloged and a list of those unreleased tracks is updated as they are identified.

Unreleased Tracks List: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/cd/view/375
Top Used Tracks List: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/epguide.php?action=topmusic

Project Status
Kanto and Orange Islands: Indexed
Johto: Indexed
Advanced Generation: Indexed
Diamond and Pearl: Indexed
Best Wishes: Awaiting more BW BGM tracks to be released. All songs and non-BW BGM tracks (except 4 Best Wishes tracks released in 2010) indexed.
XY: [i]Upcoming.


Movies: Indexed, except the as-of-yet unreleased movies.
Shorts: 6 out of 15 Indexed.
Specials: 10 out of 20 Indexed.
Side Stories: 4 out of 16 Indexed

We hope that this will be a useful feature for viewers of PocketMonsters.net. If you wish to assist in this project, you can report the information for any episode in this thread or the appropriate episode thread and it will be added to the database. A big thanks goes to ivantuga2 who worked tirelessly on the database indexing.

Most the music is up for DP170 now. If you know any the tracks I missed, let me know and I'll add them to the database.

I can see the tracks but I can't listen to any of them. Does anyone else have this problem?

Only tracks that have BGM on CD can be played, make sure you have flash installed.

Since the new background CD is coming out soon, decided to make sure we had as much music in the database as possible to make it easier to add any of the new tracks. The following episodes now have bgm listings:

Indigo 1: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/1#Music
Indigo 2: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/2#Music
Indigo 3: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/3#Music
Indigo 4: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/4#Music
Indigo 5: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/5#Music
Indigo 6: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/6#Music
