Best Score?

I guess you could find the original CD off of eBay or Amazon (and I'm not talking about the later-made "The Songs From The Land Before Time"), but I imagine it would cost a pretty penny.

I guess I was just insane then.

I broke down and bought the CD, though I must admit, it's something I'm happy to have sitting on my shelf. B)

I've seen them on Limewire every now and then but they sound dreadful because somebody used a shoddy mp3 encoder. For music this beautiful you want to buy it anyway.

I share low-quality rips of the LBT soundtrack on Limewire (well, Frostwire now) on occasion but I don't share my 320kbps (portable use, easy editting) or lossless rips (listening, burning to backup CDs). I almost might as well just share the full-quality files. I mean, Universal isn't losing any money from CDs they aren't producing anymore. The only people benefitting from CD sales are those who are gouging poor buyers.

Well, it must be a very rare CD for it to cost that much.. but seriously... Why not just download freely and burn it to a CD?... Naturally,I'm just going to dump the entire list into my favorites and have it play on shuffle and loop

A few reasons:
1) I'm using $850 speakers and they do show the difference between a 128kbps mp3, which you can find on Limewire, and a lossless rip from a CD. I'm a music nut and I like my quality.

2) There's just something nice about having the original CD on your shelf, in good condition. It's like any other collection - it's hard to justify but I am happy to have the original CD in my collection.

Ah, gotcha

Its good to be a collector of the series.. even the relics still deserve a place on the honored shelf

If I had somewhere I could post up higher-quality rips from my CD for easy downloading, I would. I just don't want to get in trouble. Any files I'm hosting publically 24/7 are basically legal.

I must admit to having a few cheap reasons for getting the "The Songs From The Land Before Time" off of eBay.

I've got a little justification there. But I just can't spend $70 on a CD like that. And to be perfectly honest, I, er, "sampled" some OGG files off of a less reputable site (I , of course, destroyed the files afterwards and all backups and derivatives) and it just didn't seem worth $70 to me. I have to say no this time. I'd sooner get the LBT TV DVDs that are out that get that.

#@$@# torrent!

*sighs*

with that said... no, I still don't have the music -_-

As much as it makes sense to share the music, its not the same unless you actually have it in your hands. Like Tim, I'm a quality mongul and have the equipment to produce it, so I needed the CD...lossy won't do.

Now, what I have done in the past on rare soundtracks (Watership Down notably) is put them on megaupload as 80kbps mp3 files in monophonic sound. They will not sound bad in this configuration. I'm not willing to share something I worked hard to get ahold of for free if its going to be sonically the same.

If you're reading this, check back in a bit...I'll have something for you guys. You know what to expect though, but it'll hold you until you get lucky on the cd.

Oh dear... is our batty friend doing what I think he's doing? o_0

I'll be keeping a close watch on this just to see

Petrie. · **Reply #32 on:** November 25, 2007, 01:33:57 PM

No I'm not batty....I'm just being somewhat nice today. This won't be cd quality but it won't sound horrid like the crap you find on P2P at least. You have at least a 20 minute wait.

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #33 on:** November 25, 2007, 01:35:51 PM

*sniggers* by batty, I meant something different ^_^ sorry if it came out all wrong

But since you take on the name Petrie, I imagine you almost bat like.. like the flier that Petrie is *sniggers*

again, sorry

Petrie. · **Reply #34 on:** November 25, 2007, 01:44:43 PM

Just to give a hint: most of the times on ebay, the cd does not reach $70 with shipping included. When I bought my copy at least four years ago I paid less than $30.

You just need to take a chance and go for it, but it certainly is reasonable.

Bad news for the moment: you're going to have to wait a bit longer...I've tried a couple of things and they just hang after a while.

This is my offer:

-entire soundtrack (comes out to 33mb)
-cd source
-mp3 files, Lame 3.98b5, 80kbps, monophonic

Do you still want me to try again later?

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #36 on:** November 25, 2007, 01:52:43 PM

whenever's good

Just do it whenever is convenient ^^ I'm willing to wait

oh, and thanks for the link, that seems all the more helpful, though still not entirely in my budget yet
