The weird thing is all files enclosed are 256kb MP3 files, NOT WMA!

Anyone else experienced this? Oh, I downloaded this on my Mac if that makes any difference :)

Regards,
Shane.



Really? I shall have to take a look tonight. Hopefully I won't have to pay again to download it again...

i'm re-downloading now and i too am getting the larger 53M zip file instead of the 37M zip i got last nite. no indication of another charge, but for higher quality drm-free files, i would only mind a little if they did. still want a real cd of this someday, but i will take what i can git at this point.

shiny...


you can't take the sky from me...

Success!

I just downloaded the Firefly soundtrack using my trusty Mac.

Used Mac OS 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.1 with Pop-up windows unblocked.

As was reported, it downloaded a 52.8 MB .zip file that contained 17 .mp3 files.

All of the files are encoded at 192kbps except for the Main Theme that is 256kbps.

The weird thing is the ID3 tags!!!

Even though there are only 17 tracks, they come across with the following information:

(BLANK) Firefly_Main Title
2 of 23 Heart of Gold Montage
3 of 23 Big Bar Fight
4 of 23 The Funeral
5 of 23 Mal fights Niska/Back home
8 of 23 Deserted Ship/Empty Derelict
9 of 23 Books hair/Ready for Battle
12 of 23 Early takes the Serenity
13 of 23 In my bunk/Rivers eyes/Boom
14 of 23 Innara’s Suite
15 of 23 River tricks Early
16 of 23 River’s perception/Saffron
17 of 23 Goodbye Early
18 of 23 Leaving/Caper/Spaceball
20 of 23 River’s afraid/Niska/Book
21 of 23 River understands Simon
23 of 23 Whitefall/Book

It's a different track order than what's posted on Fox Music's web site...

...AND HOW DO WE GET TRACKS 6, 7, 10, 11, 19 & 22 ?!?!

Well I guess Fox made the decision for me...

INTERNATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

The Service is only available to residents of the United States. This limitation includes, but is not limited to (a) non-US credit cards are not accepted as a payment mechanism, (b) non-US mobile carriers and unlisted US mobile carriers may not be used for delivery.

Changes to these restrictions will occur from time to time without notification to you if such change is an expansion of the Service.

I know they probably don't hold the international rights to everything on their site and that's why it's limited to the U.S. but I really don't care about logic right now.

I may be wrong, but I *think* these track listings may be the ones on Greg Edmonson's original CD to FOX (when they asked him to put something together for a score album). He used to misspell Inara as "Innara." If that is true, they probably decided to delete the missing tracks from the album.

(I'll try to verify this when I find that original CD...it's misplaced here somewhere...)

Normally I wouldn't ask this, but could someone make this soundtrack available for us who don't live in the US. Either by uploading it to a site or sharing it using a p2p program.

I hate to advocate this sort of thing, but it looks like it'll be the only way folks like me in the UK will get our hands on it

This is easy to get around if you are still willing to pay.

Just put in your country as "United States" and use a made-up city, state and zip code, like maybe NY98765. Worked a treat for me.


Oh, and it doesn't seem to like Visa much, either.
