On: Open-ribbon – A Project to reverse engineer the PS1 music game Vib-Ribbon

The custom music wasn’t followed the game levels — the game was designed for you to swap in your own CD, and the levels would be generated off of that music.

It’s why the digital re-releases have been somewhat lackluster — the default music is fine, but not notable on its own.

The PS3 PSN version still works with CDs at least. Kinda better because you don't need to swap discs. PS4/PS5 (and obviously Vita) can't read CDs.
