That's great news. Good to see Fox listening to fans'/customers' requests - and the ref to the release of the film had a friendly ring to it, I thought. Shiny, indeed!

I think I read in the previous thread about this that you can only buy & download this if you're in the US - is this true? Anyone from the UK had any success? (See what a difference a bit of effort makes from our faceless corporate buddies? - I'm actively seeking ways to pay for this )

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

This site refuse to work for me. I've tried Firefox and IE, and it always doesn't load. It takes forever to load about half the page, and then it just gives up, stops loading, and none of the links work. Is there any other way to get the files? I also tried going in the front door through foxmusic.com, but that hung after trying to load too.

Please help!

Okay, for some reason the site works on my friend's comp. If I download the soundtrack there, will I be able to transfer it via CD or Zen to my computer without problems or legal issues?

Has anyone noticed that the "Firefly-Main Title" included in this official download is subtly different than the one aired during every episode?

I'm referring specifically to the part in the bridge of the song where there's an 11-note run. It climbs and then falls. You can hear it beginning at the :32 second mark of the track. On the televised version, this plays as a run that sounds as though it's picked on a banjo. On the digital file from Fox Music, it plays as a lilting violin run instead.

Strange.

Has anyone designed cool CD inserts for the Firefly soundtrack yet?

If so, please share!

I notice Fox has provided a cover .jpg but it is tiny and insufficient.

I notice that the music, in MP3 form at least, imports into iTunes as "track x of 23".. but there are only 17 tracks in the download. Are there missing tracks somewhere? River's Dance? The Hero of Canton? The wedding dance in OMR?

Yes, if you look at the ID3 tags, we have tracks
1-5,8-9,12-18,& 20-21,23
so yes we are missing 6 tracks
numbers 6,7,10,11,19,22
so according to the tags the order is such:
1. Main Title
2. Hart of Gold Montage
3. Big Bar Fight
4. The Funeral
5. Mal Fights Niska/Back Home
6. ????
7. ????
8. Deserted Ship/Empty Derelict
9. Book's Hair/Ready For Battle
10. ????
11. ????
12. Early Takes Serenity
13. In My Bunk/River's Eyes/Boom
14. Inara's Suite
15. River Tricks Early
16. River's Perception/Saffron
17. Goodbye Early
18. Leaving/Caper/Spaceball
19. ????
20. River's Afraid/Niska/Book
21. River Understands Simon
22. ????
23. Whitefall/Book

so i wonder what six tracks they decided to hold back and why???

So..does anyone know if the files can be transferred? I'd really like to be able to get the gorram soundtrack. See above posts.

^ Yes, the MP3 soundtrack can be transferred anywhere you want, as often as you like, without incident.

17. Goodbye Early

River sits in the cockpit of Early's ship. As the camera slowly gets closer, we notice her GENTLY SWAYING in the seat to music that only she can hear.

SMASH CUT to River's mindscape. She is in Serenity's leaf-strewn cargo hold, SQUARE DANCING with Early and the crew, and SINGING with a strange twang in her voice:

Goodbyyyyye Early
I'll be your bounty!

Let's go out to the blaaaaack, Early
Mal's out there now!

He'll shove you in the baaaaack, Early
Well is that all right?

GOOD! Let's go for a riiiiide, Ear--

*BANG!* Her brother's been shot. River snaps back to reality with a SHRIEK.

Know what? I think the reason these people are acting shiny is because they are not Fox! I'd bet that Fox outsourced the distribution of the soundtrack to this Navio company, which is probably completely unattached to Fox ...

... and that is why they're doing a good job, being considerate, and solving a problem in good faith and with admirable customer service.

Fox should take lessons.

Yeah, I noticed that down-homey little banjo run was missing. I usually "doodle-doodle-doodle do" it audibly, so it was a bit of shock to notice that I was doodle-doing by myself. Luckily, I have my own MP3 ripped from the DVDs.
