in Apple’s awful proprietary format,
Just to correct, AAC which the iTunes stores uses is not a proprietary format. It is the successor of MP3 and actually technically the better codec. Although at 320kbps they are basically the same quality (and I don’t hear a difference to lossless which I still prefer to buy if reasonable priced).
We should all celebrate the fans orgs/companies who restore old soundtracks. They do a fantastic job, even though it’s annoying that they won’t sell digital FLAC instead of having to buy a CD.
Well, since as often stated the often don’t have the rights and they would of course “kill” their own niche, too… Gladly several of these old scores or expansions are available, although except by Varese from the film company’s labels mostly (which our labels don’t benefit from).
