Cave Story has a variety of interesting music (in org format) that was developed by Pixel through a program called OrgMaker. Pixel included a program called OrganyaView which allows you to play any of the tracks of the game. The OrgView program can be found towards the bottom of this page. A translation patch for the OrganyaView program can be found in Cave Story's English patch located in the downloads page. The program, OrgMaker, which was used to create the music of Cave Story is currently being translated into English as well. The translator has given permission to host the files here. Look below for the download links.

To download the songs either download them individually from the list below, or scroll down further for links to download everything.

Downloads exported using beta instruments (the instruments from Orgview 5 and Orgmaker 1.3.3) are marked with the β symbol.

For the names of the org files/resources (like requiem, kodou, vivi, mura, etc.) as opposed to the name of the song this comparison guide should help.

Note on Percussion: Cave Story hardcodes all percussion instruments (drums and whatnot) for all .org tracks played through the Cave Story engine. There are a select number of tracks that use a different percussion set to those hardcoded in Cave Story. Songs marked "Cave Story Percussion" are the songs as they sound in Cave Story, and songs marked "Internal Percussion" sound the way they do outside of Cave Story.

Note 1: The track previously referred to as "Unknown" was confirmed to be a beta of Last Battle.
Note 2: The track previously referred to as "Snoopy Cake" is actually called "Untitled" (with an internal name of ROCKORG), there is no evidence that the song was ever named "Snoopy Cake". Sorry for the confusion.
