Am I the only one who has downloaded the Firefly sound track?

Rumor has it that foxmusic.com has changed the format from .wma to .mp3, so the DRM hassles are gone, but the download file is now 52.7Mb for the same 17 tracks.

I haven't yet, dcp. I was kind of waiting to hear what people said. The music sounded kind of different than how it sounds on the show. Was it re-recorded?

Do you like the the soundtrack?

JenP, the file I posted about is the Firefly soundtrack, from the TV series. Yes, I like it. It was worth the $10 and the d/l time, even on dial-up. It didn't include some things I wanted, but what's there is good.

The Serenity soundtrack, from the movie, ships on CD next week. I haven't heard if it will be available for download.

Yeah, I knew that - I went and listened to the snippets when you first posted about it. It still sounded like a re-recording of the music from the show. Sounded... smoother or something, so I couldn't decide whether to dl. I probably will, though.

ETA: Not that it's wrong that it was re-recorded or anything. Basically, I'm looking for confirmation that I'm not crazy - that it does sound different.

Ah. I misunderstood. "Kind of different than how it sounds on the show" was my reaction to the snippets I've heard from Serenity, so I thought that was what you meant. Sorry.

Oh, no worries. And now I know that the Serenity soundtrack is out there already. I'll have to go search it out.

One week. Only one week to the movie. So excited.

I can't remember where I came across the links to the snippets from the Serenity soundtrack. I thought it was here, but the search feature isn't finding them for me. I remember discussion that the track titles might be considered spoilery. I didn't like the snippets enough to keep them.

Oh, you know, I think I remember that from here, you're right. I think I might have listened to them, but I can't remember what I thought. Well, in one week, I'll know how I like the music.
