Well, I'm still up for it if anyone is interested.

Basically, the idea is to take a short mp3 recording of your ROM styles' Divisions, and post it to a database somewhere. Doesn't need to be a fancy recording, a relatively low bitrate mp3 (128-160kbps) would suffice. But having an audio recording of the original would go a LONG way towards making drumkit, bass and other sound decisions a LOT easier.

Of course, EMC does little else but make a 'best guess' when doing conversions, and as arrangers get more complex, Mega voices, guitar modes, non-standard drumkits, etc., it is going to get harder and harder to know EXACTLY what the conversion is supposed top sound like unless, as Rikki was, you are lucky enough to have all the arrangers at your fingertips. Few of us are...

This would be the answer, IMO.

It would take a little time to put together, but each style division only need be two to four bars long. Even if the style is longer, you are primarily going for the sounds and sound balance, and that is usually apparent right from the start. Add the endings and Intros, you are done...

Especially as many arrangers have mp3/.wav recording built in, this might not be as difficult a task as you might think. And if more than one person with the same arranger were interested, the task could be divided...

I still hope that one day we can get this off the ground. With these economic times, it makes sense to consider conversions rather than a new arranger every three years or so...
