I know I'm relatively new to the forum, and I hope this isn't "off limits" - I'll delete if so.
I have been collecting DW releases starting with Carpenter but then picking up others mainly based on comments on this forum (I've been lurking a long time) or recommendations from Spencer. Much as I love my DW wax, sometimes I would like to listen on the go, which means that I've been buying multiple versions of the same soundtrack (CDs of EFNY, The Fog, etc). I suspect I'm not alone in this - in fact many of you will have bought multiple vinyl versions of the same soundtrack. I've been frustrated at the cost of a lot of soundtracks on CD as they are deleted or limited editions (specifically Halloween soundtracks), and I kind of resent paying premium prices twice over. I have a set up that can create WAV files from vinyl, but I find it a bit of a pain and I'd rather have a 'perfect' digital version. Given how expensive the CDs can be - even used - I'm more inclined to download (especially if lossless).
My suggestion is - if it's alright - could we start a list of places where we can download versions of the DW releases, and the format (MP3, FLAC). If this is acceptable and others would find useful, I'll edit this original post to make it more concise and include all DW releases I know of (not including DWO).
