is it possible to get the the DOOM OST in FLAC?

[Un*******iveSam]

I just noticed that the OST is now on Google Play and itunes. Unfortunately the Google play version says it's MP3 and i dont know what the Itune version is.

Anyone know where i could get it in FLAC? and/or what the Itune version is it?

When I put "FLAC download" it shows $178.20 as the subtotal... $178 USD!? D:! OMG

[Nyuundere]

Oh no, I already checked and is on my currency :D

Go out there and buy the soundtrack. It's totally worth it. Mick Gordon put so much love and effort into the soundtrack, it's amazing. The only thing that's a little bit odd is that they don't sell the soundtrack via Steam as a OST DLC and you can find the track in your game directory. But hey ... at least they gave us something.

Is pretty cheap on the Tidal Link :3 9 USD~

FLAC is great for always having a cd quality archive of the audio if you want to do anything with it in the future (change formats, edit, etc) but i doubt anyone who claims they can hear the difference between FLAC and 320kbps could do it double-blind.

Is it actually lossless? Have you been able to decode one to WAV and open it with something like Audacity to check the Spectogram? That is assuming you bought FLAC.

*better than CD quality.

320 MP3 is pretty easy to discern from FLAC or WAV with decent headphones or speakers. The high still get that wishy washy effect, particularly anything "hissy" like cymbals or the like. It isn't even a slight difference, it's pretty major.

I went ahead and bought them (though it's pretty steep at $18, especially since I've already bought the MP3 OST, but whatevz). I can confirm they're 16-bit 44.1kHz decent-bitrate (~800k - ~900k) FLAC.

File properties: https://i.imgur.com/kRsAm0h.png (for some reason the dbPoweramp plugin isn't parsing the bitrates correctly there; it says they're all 1411k -- for the correct bitrates, see: https://i.imgur.com/lerQhd1.png )
Spectrogram - top is FLAC, bottom is MP3: https://i.imgur.com/G22MMBp.png

And, perhaps the most important, in the good old listening test, it's definitely far better than the MP3s. You can really hear it on the heavier tracks like Rip & Tear. The horrible MP3 artefacts on the guitar pull-offs are gone.

Fantastic. Thank-you so much. I hold onto what I learned years ago, to always verify that lossless was actually lossless and not just transcoded MP3. That top Spectrogram is perfect.

Yeah, Doom's OST really highlights a lot of the sins of MP3s.

Ping back:

So I see tidal is download once and play many times?

Just wanted the mp3's of the ost instead of flac saving myself the conversion of already paid for album.

Oh well...

Guess I'll continue on spotify / other places where you are not restricted on the amount of downloads per purchased albums.
