Online Official Soundtracks: To Buy or Not To Buy?
There's been a recent influx of purchasable iTunes only soundtrack releases and other digital media soundtracks (e.g. DirectSong) recently. Examples include Children of Mana, Mother3i, Chocobo's Magic Picture Book, Square Enix Music Bootlegs, and most recent Jeremy Soule works, among many others. There's plenty of online official soundtracks that have hard copies too, such as most Final Fantasy, SaGa, and Mana scores. It's pretty well documented who likes to purchase hard copies of soundtracks here, but what about commercial digital media releases? Worth it or does it lose all the quirks and advantages of having a hard copy?
---------------------- Personally, I've only bothered with DirectSong. While WMA files aren't exactly ideal, the service is fast and quite reliable with multiple installs being allowed for each purchase. I've got all but Jeremy Soule's most recent two soundtracks. I'd prefer hard copies, but these are a decent and cheap alternative. I'm not much of an iTunes user in the first place and I found it impossible to download Square Enix's Children of Mana release legitimately. I've ended up relying on RyuFAN's welcome rips for such soundtracks. I'm not too knowledgeable about other digital media soundtracks, but, reading around, there seems to be a fair amount out there.
