Soundtrack update?
I'll try to stick to the facts and ignore how furious this whole situation is making me, but I have doubts I will be successful. I had the soundtrack issue that many people are reporting where I c...
Well I fixed my own problems because I got tired of waiting, but I am still going to be harassing their support staff for the next couple weeks till I get a refund on this digital deluxe edition that turned out to be completely useless.
I would have saved more time and effort if I just illegally downloaded the soundtrack.
Seriously, it took me less than 5 minutes to unzip the wav files into a folder on my linux PC. Run the command 'flac *.wav' to convert all the files into lossless (44.1kHz) flac files (it would have preserved metadata too if any was entered in the **bleep** first place).
Run the command 'zip DragonAgeInquisitionSoundtrack.zip *.flac' and I immediately have a soundtrack file that is half the size of the one provided on the current dragon age website, with a more useful filename, while remaining lossless high quality audio (or as high a quality as whatever those wav files were) and excluding the unneccesary executables that were in the original zip.
This takes literally under a minute to run these 2 commands and end up with a significantly better soundtrack to provide customers. Why on earth has BioWare not done this themselves?!
The only reason BioWare has not done this for their customers (and added metadata) is because they are too lazy and inconsiderate and obviously don't think their customers are worth the mere seconds of effort it would take to fix this.
Really f*cking sad, can anyone blame me for being pissed?
