Ok, so I bought the files, and I'm trying to download them to my computer, but I keep getting a page that says "Requesting content and license..." And has a button that sayts "Download the license". Only problem is, nothing happens. I click the button and nothing happens. My pop-up blocker is off, so I have no idea what the problem is. I'm running Netscape (maybe that's the problem).
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?
Thanks!

Well Fox's website is clearly not user friendly and the last thing I want to do is purchase Microsoft restricted files. (not sure if I'd have technical problems burning myself a CD or not) I would purchase the Firefly soundtrack in a second if Fox would release it in a normal form (and yes I already sent them feedback saying this).
Could someone redistribute this in a better format? (feel free to pay Fox for it, I'm MORE than happy to pay for it)
Thanks for the heads up on the soundtrack for the movie from Amazon... I just pre-ordered that! (see Fox wasn't THAT easy?)
I *do* want Fox to profit from Firefly so they realize just how valuable it is. I've got nothing against Fox other than they are idiots!

Well… screw it! As much as I’d love to get series soundtrack (and I’ve been waiting awhile) if the best FOX can do is charge us $10 for a music file I can’t even download into my machine then I guess I’ll wait longer. Move soundtrack comes out on the 27th.
Why give FOX any money for doing the “extreme bare minimal” to provide fans with this great music, just so they can rake in a little more profit by feeding off the movie hype?

I started hearing people saying that FOX made the Firefly soundtrack MP3s. Then someone posted an email from FOX. Decided to give it a shot.... and I'm going to have to say....
Thank you FOX! 
They came through as MP3s and it was beautiful to here the music anywhere I wanted to.

This is how Windows DRM works (as I understand it)
You download the files. When you want to actually PLAY the files, Windows queries the site to see if you are licensed. If you are, it sends an OK and you click "Play".
Some versions let you store the license on your computer, some are only good while you have a subscription to to whatever it is you're watching/listening.
Not sure how it's set up for this download, it's still downloading.
Will keep you posted.

Well, THAT took forever...
Thanks to everyone with their tips, and for giving me a heads-up that I wouldn't be able to do this on my Mac at home. Now the disc is all ripped, it's on my iTunes now, and I'll be adding it to the home computer tonight. Yay!
And yeah, that has got to be the least intuitive, most unfriendly interface I've seen in years. Wow.

It does seem to be a pain...
Just out of curiosity, how long will this take to download?

Welp, here's my experience:
I DL'd the songs, but when I tried to burn em through Windows Media Player, it got all manner of tetchy after track 10 and locked up my PC. Now I cannot even burn a single track.
I wonder if somewhere something got confused regarding the 10 copies we're allowed and "track 10"... doesn't make much sense to me. Contacted support- hoping this can be sussed out soon 'cause I'm mighty annoyed at this point.
