'Firefly' Soundtrack Available Now! by RiversBounty

I got mine!!!! Thank you for telling us. Boy, it sure took them long enough to get it out. Now if they only had album cover art to print, that would be perfect.

Makes me miss the show all over again. They really should have hired Greg to do the movie. This is soooo good.

Hmm. You can burn the files to a CD...

Does anything stop you from ripping them from the CD into MP3's?

To put the songs into your iPOD, you have to burn them onto a CD first, then rip them from the CD to your iPOD. I just got done doing it. It's a pain having to type the track listings manually, but this is better than nothing.

Also, if anyone has trouble downloading, you have to first download one of the listed players, turn off pop-up blockers, and enable downloads. I hate this FOX site (had trouble before downloading the Angel soundtrack too).

I talked FOX music over a year ago. They said that they would prefer to release it digitally. I got the impression they didn't expect the sales to warrant traditional release, but I could be wrong. I think this is as good as it gets.

BUT...if this sells really well, and Serenity does well, who knows right?

hmm. I don't know if I like the track order (good thing about digital releases? you can switch them when you burn it to CD).

I just think The Funeral should be the last track instead of track 06. I haven't thought much more about it, and I think I'll listen to it carefully a couple of times before I do burn it to CD.

Jeebus cripes! I take back everything I've said - FOX seem to be doing everything they can to piss off and frustrate the fans. Not one gorram link involved with buying, listening to, or even getting the terms of use works, on either IE or Firefox; the downloadable samples don't play in Winamp, and clicking "Buy Now" does nothing but elicit a click.

I'm eager to give these people $9.99 of my cash and they don't do anything to facilitate it; I'd like to see Greg Edmonson and the folks involved get the money they deserve, but if I have to get this soundtrack from somewhere other than Fox Music, it's their own fault, and I think Greg and the rest should be told

Just got mine, and it's pretty awesome. You can indeed rearrange the tracks, so it is no biggy the order it comes in.

The file type is .wma

I can run it fine using windows media player, and got into fox's interface using the SBC yahoo browser, and it worked fine.

When you buy it, according to the rights, you can copy it to 10 CDs.

Plus, there's the whole "the website doesn't work, so I can't buy it in the first place" issue.

No proprietary MS-ass-kissing crap that forces you to use even more MS-crap to actually use it. And where is The Man They Call Jayne? Sorry Fox, I'll stick with watching the DVD to hear the music.

Listen, guys. All of you's.

YES, you can put this into iTunes and iPod. All you have to do is burn it onto a CD, using whatever program you want. (Windows Media Player and Roxio works fine.) Then, extract it from the CD into iTunes, the same way you do any CD-R. You just have to type in the track listings yourself.

Anyone who has trouble downloading needs to 1) turn off pop-up blockers, 2) check the IE settings to enable downloads at prompts, 3) download, install, and open one of the listed media players.

It'll be all right.

I would much prefer an actual CD to downloading it. I've never downloaded a soundtrack like this in my life, and the whole thing seems rather sketchy to me - I don't like how the download site has a different domain than FoxMusic. Even if it's offical and completely on the up-and-up, it's not a good business practice. I'll never pay for something when I'm redirected like that and can't verify that I'm still on the site I mean to be on.

Pretty much the only way I'll buy it is if it goes to Amazon.

The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

I was just about leaping for joy when I got an email from Fox Music with news of the soundtrack. Then after inputting all my details as I tried to buy it, it said my country is not supported!

Stupid piece of fei oo

Why the hell does it need to be supported? All it requires is downloading! I live in the UK, not some obscure country where the internet is outlawed

ITs typical. I had the same problem geting the Millennium soundtrack. I eventually had to download that off a p2p program. And I was willing to shell out as well!

Don't we all? Listen, I talked repeatedly to the folks at FOX last year. Firefly is NOT a priority with them. This is as good as it gets, guys. If you're holding out for the CD version, don't. After years of emails and calls begging for the soundtrack, we're lucky we have it in any format at all.

There is always hope that if tons of people buy this, they might perk up and invest in the CD format. But judging from the comments on this thread, it doesn't look likely does it?

I'd gladly give Fox a little money if someone will get me a version of this on CD. I don't believe in piracy, but I think it's stupid for Fox not to realize that they have a huge market waiting for this product. Did they not notice how many DVDs they sold?

I highly recommend sending a comment to Fox with your opinions of this. It appears they DID listen to us (after all, we do have an album now), however, apparently we didn't give them enough information.
If you calmly inform them of how you feel, they MAY listen again.
For reference sake, here is what I sent them.

Quote:
I sincerely wanted to be grateful for this. But after about 20 minutes of trying to figure out the poorly put together site, getting timeout errors, not being able to see what songs are availabe on the EP, learning that I would be downloading files that I couldn't put directly into iTunes and on my iPod and then waiting another 20 minutes while trying to register to the website so I could actually purchase this EP, only to have the site never actually allow me to get to a payment method, I am sorely dissappointed with the experience.
I would like to say thank you for the efforts Fox has put forth to allow the fans access to the music we so love...but I can only ask that the music be released in a different format or simply in a more accessible way than through foxmusic.com

Sincerely,
James Wright

This is the soundtrack for Universal Studio's movie release of the BDM.

The Soundtrack for the TV Series so far is only going to be released as a download. And it is such a pain in the ass if Internet Explorer is the browser you are using because if you don't mess with the security settings, it blocks the download. grrr...I fought with it for 30 minutes before figuring out what was wrong. Once you download it, you can burn it to a CD so it will become portable.

Ok, so I bought the files, and I'm trying to download them to my computer, but I keep getting a page that says "Requesting content and license..." And has a button that sayts "Download the license". Only problem is, nothing happens. I click the button and nothing happens. My pop-up blocker is off, so I have no idea what the problem is. I'm running Netscape (maybe that's the problem).

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

Well Fox's website is clearly not user friendly and the last thing I want to do is purchase Microsoft restricted files.

Could someone redistribute this in a better format? (feel free to pay Fox for it, I'm MORE than happy to pay for it)

Thanks for the heads up on the soundtrack for the movie from Amazon... I just pre-ordered that! (see Fox wasn't THAT easy?)

Well… screw it! As much as I’d love to get series soundtrack (and I’ve been waiting awhile) if the best FOX can do is charge us $10 for a music file I can’t even download into my machine then I guess I’ll wait longer. Move soundtrack comes out on the 27th.

Why give FOX any money for doing the “extreme bare minimal” to provide fans with this great music, just so they can rake in a little more profit by feeding off the movie hype?

------------- edited 9/25/05 ---------------

I started hearing people saying that FOX made the Firefly soundtrack MP3s. Then someone posted an email from FOX. Decided to give it a shot.... and I'm going to have to say....

Thank you FOX!

This is how Windows DRM works (as I understand it)

You download the files. When you want to actually PLAY the files, Windows queries the site to see if you are licensed. If you are, it sends an OK and you click "Play".

Some versions let you store the license on your computer, some are only good while you have a subscription to to whatever it is you're watching/listening.

Not sure how it's set up for this download, it's still downloading.

Will keep you posted.
