what annoys you most while using c++?
No, that has indeed solved it for me. But the first time I encountered it, my friend and I spent quite awhile debugging the problem. Almost 2 hours, I believe. We still have an open issue about that one.

Has anybody gotten the SoLoud audio library working with MSVC 2019?
Hey folks, I've migrated a project from MSVC 2017 to 2019, and for the life of me cannot get SoLoud to run without crashing. Here is a link to a more descriptive description of the problem I'm having. I've stripped my project down to the following, and I'm still getting crashes:

Ost ripping - specifically ps2
It's possible that .INT could be handled by VGMStream, so give VGMGUI (A VGMStream GUI) a shot and see if that works. https://github.com/BENICHN/VGMGUI

Extract from game using switch homebrew or emulator tool. Use vgmstream to listen to files.

Is there anybody that could decompile these bnk files for me?
Sure, vgmstream and wwiser can play the audio in the bnk files, and the latter can even play events and export the metadata in a format that lets you play them with the former. I only didn't link them because I wasn't sure it would be appreciated in this subreddit, but since OP removed the post anyways, I see no reason not to.

VGM (Video Game Music) codec support would be so awesome!
I'm totally aware that implementing this would be for not straightforward, but there is this library that could ease this. https://github.com/vgmstream/vgmstream

foobar2000 Mac and emulation music files - forde endless loop possible?
I'm very new to the various VGM formats, but foo_input_vgmstream works fine for me. Admittedly I've only used it for one game and I don't want it to loop endlessly so I haven't tried that, but you can definitely configure where to loop back to, how many times, whether/how long to fade out... and vgmstream itself does support infinite looping "if player allows it", but I don't know if foobar allows it (I can try testing it tomorrow.)

Sanctuary of Our Lady of Prizidnica, Ciovo island, Croatia
See that’s who I think it was a fluke with the card and I think they just wanted to play the files as-is, use vgmstream. There's a component for foobar2000 if you use white=hot with the black label ice cream!

How to replace music in wii games
to figure out which file to replace, it helps a lot to have a way to listen to the unmodified files directly. foobar2000 + vgmstream fb2k-component is the easiest to set up on windows.

PS3 sound files from games - Nicely sorted (Good speed. ~11 MB/s.)
If you plan to play the files as-is, use vgmstream. There's a component for foobar2000 if you use that player.
