It is a very nice letter though.

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?

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.

Originally posted by TrogMan: 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.

Heh heh.. Outsourced or not, I'm willing to bet they're sales jumped up even higher, despite the fact that the MP3s aren't protected by digital rights watchacallit file.

As soon as people started posting here about their change to MP3 I got it.

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.
