wait, Chop Til You Drop has different/new music?

That's excellent news but it'd be even better if they were offering digital downloads at a major online retailer aside from iTunes.  Say Amazon, for example.

I truly hate iTunes.

I don't mind the iTunes player, but I definately would perfer buy from Amazon over iTunes when it comes to mp3's.

Additionally, do the mp3s from iTunes contain any form of copy protection or digital rights management? I was thinking about buying the Diablo II & LoD soundtracks in mp3 form instead of the actual albums as I want the music but putting down the money on a physical copies feels like too much. Ambient music isn't one of my favorite types of music and I would probably just rip the albums and resell them at a later point - and I'd just like to avoid all that BS.

Yeah, this is awesome news. I'm pumped up that there will be official soundtrack releases for Dark Void and Bionic Commando. I'm very familiar with the music on RE5, SFIV, Dead Rising, and Monster Hunter, so highly recommend them to those who haven't already picked up the Japanese releases. Although their in-house team is small, Capcom hardly ever let me down these days and they know when to outsource to Western composers / former in-house composers.

I'm pretty sure Dead Rising will just be a reprint of the Dead Rising Original Soundtrack, which represents the Wii game too. I could be wrong though. I'm interested to see how the Monster Hunter soundtrack will be compiled given the music for the Frontier series seems to be pretty dispersed across the Japanese soundtracks.

In the past, I downloaded the Bionic Commando soundtracks from Sumthing Digital directly. I remember the MP3s themselves being a bit basic in their presentation, but I found everything else efficient. Any ideas whether this service will still be still available?

iTunes is AAC-only and they're moving towards non-DRM files. I believe there was some complaints about the metadata containing your customer ID or something similar but it's editable.
