It's something I (and I'm sure others) have asked for in the past.....and we are about to get our wish....
As confirmed by SEGA @ http://blogs.sega.com/sonic/2011/01/26/coloursost/ the full Sonic Colours OST will be available to download from the iTunes Store from today in North America and the Europe along with Japan. This is fantastic news and allow those of use who aren't that fussed about the physical product but want a way to purchase the music legally a way to do so.
Individual tracks are available to download, plus you can download each disc for £7.99. Unfortunately, unlike other multi disc compilations, they've decided to sell each disc as a separate album, so you have to pay £7.99 for each disc (so £23.97 for all three) which is very disappointing, but at least we now have a legal way to either pick and choose to download tracks, or to grab the whole collection if we want!
It's available in the US iTunes Store right now (along with Canada I assume) and will apparently be hitting European iTunes Stores shortly!

Unfortunately, because the iTunes Store has sortof become a de-facto standard, I think it's safe to say the iTunes Store will be the only store front things like this will be offered on, so you will unfortunately need to use iTunes.CapnCloudchaser wrote:As much as I love this news, it irritates me, as it means I'm gonna have to actually start using iTunes and find a good .aac to MP3 converter >_>
But I do hope this means they'll add more soundtracks in future.
Oh, and iTunes itself is a good AAC to MP3 converter.....just so you know. When RS used to offer MP3 versions of our podcasts, it was iTunes I used to convert the files to MP3.

Well bugger. I don't want to be assimilated by Apple ;_;
Yeah, Apple converts to MP3. There was a time when iTunes wouldn't convert tracks downloaded from the iTunes Store, but they seem to have vanished long, long ago.
Still, good news for being able to legally acquire soundtracks in the West. Not too sure £23 is great value though, you could probably import it for around that if you looked hard enough.

That was in the bad old days when all music files on the iTunes Store had DRM on them. Not only are tracks now double the bit rate than before (256k vs 128k) but none of them have DRM on them any more, so you're free to do whatever you want with them.Gavvie wrote:Yeah, Apple converts to MP3.
