Game rip rules of thumb:

GH Rips have the following format and are typically all stereo stems:
4 Drum Stems (Kick, Snare, Toms, Cymbals)
1 Bass Stem
1 Guitar Stem
1 Vocals Stem (incl BG Vocals)
1 "Other"

RB Rips have the following format and can be a mix of stereo and mono stems:
1 - 3 Drum Stems (Full Kit / Kick + Kit / Kick + Snare + Kit)
1 Bass Stem
1 Guitar Stem
(RB3 Only) 1 Keys Stem
1 Vocals Stem (no BG VOX if before 2010; otherwise including BG Vox)
1 "Other"

All RB songs will be on this list: https://rbdb.online/
Everything else is probably a GH song.

Anything that you get in "ogg" format is a re-encode, you are dealing with generation loss.
Some RB stems in "mogg" format are not re-encoded, if they are from before 2009.
Every GH stem in "mogg" format is a re-encode.

Brilliant thanks Multiman really appreciate the info.

So avoid anything in ogg and mogg is more likely to be the original rip from the game?

I'm guessing there is nothing stopping someone from converting low quality oggs into a mogg and pass it off as a original game rip which is unhelpful?

Is there a way of telling the quality of a mogg, eg. is it a re-encode?
Something like a vst plug maybe..
