Sunshine soundtrack is released!

[cacophony]

at last, the wait is over!

Anyone know why some tracks are UW & JM and others are JM & UW? The Sunshine piece by JM is gorgeous but I still love To Heal the best - think thats the third time i've bought it now in some form

Just pure speculation here, but maybe it's UW first on Mercury, because it's primarily an UW composition. And UW first on Track 7 because UW appears first (JM the last 2/3 of that track).

On Track 12, it's JM music first, then UW. On Tracks 8 and 10, I think it's primarily JM over some UW contributions.

I went over the scores again, and on the official release, Track 4 should be called "Escaping the Icarus II" and Track 6 should be called "Kanada's Death".

Downloaded it, but what the fuck?!? It's not even in mp3 format so I can't burn it or put it on my mp3 player.

Does Nero convert AAC to mp3 or what program do I need to do it with? This sucks, fuck iTunes if this is how all of their music is. Amazon.com at least has mp3...

DRM means they can do anything with the music you bought. If there is no way to circumvent the protection, I will not even consider buying it. And by circumvent I don't mean the analog hole or the "burn to CD then rerip" strategy.

I know that I should be grateful that they finally released it, but this is a huge letdown...

[TheBang]

I look forward to the day when we can sing a requiem for all DRM, including iTunes.

Good to hear it's finally released - hoping it comes to Rhapsody soon (Still holding out against iTunes, though i have less choice these days!)

Use iTunes to burn a cd and then rip it as MP3?

i caved

if they had to go through lawyerly arrangements with an unceremonious release then this just smells of fan pleasing and they'd have no motivation to release it anywhere else or even without DRM.

as for the music, john murphy is getting interesting, but also frustrating.
