Um??? Tawm, when I start playing this, it gives me the "Monastery" music from QfG4. This is nothing to do with QfG5.

The next piece (at about 3:00) is Erana's Staff in the town of Mordavia. Again, QfG4.

I skipped around the sound file, and eventually found that everything up until about 2:00:45 is QfG4. (At about 2:00:45, or just a second or two before, the triumphant QfG5 "overture" starts). It's fairly easy to tell: QfG4 music is high on synthesiser, bells, and electric guitar. QfG5 music is fully orchestral. ;)

Any idea what's going on? :shock:

Well damn. I may have grabbed the wrong folder when I made it. Let me check.

Yep! All fixed. :) Thanks, Tawm!

By the way, I got the QfG5 soundtrack (on CD! Yes, I'm old-school, kids! :P) when I purchased the game (also on CD! Yes, I'm a dinosaur). :P

I put it on my iPod and have been playing it while walking to work. So I know it fairly well. ;)

And yes, iPods are more recent than CDs. Although if I really wanted to look like I was trying to be relevant to the kids, I'd say that I streamed it. :P

Streaming, CDs, audio-cassettes, eight-tracks, vinyls, ye olde Victrola. So many ways to play music. Why not go along to a live concert once in a while? :lol:

Well I don't know how you hipster youngins consume your "music" nowadays, but _I_ only listen to recorded music available on wax cylinders -- the ORIGINAL recordable playback format.

Me, too. :)

(And the wax cylinder version -- amazing that it fits on only thirty 37-second cylinders, not to mention the 3 kbps fidelity!)

Hah! When you said Wax Cylinder I assumed you were speaking vinyl. :D

I assume goatmeal means one of these? ;) Wow. That goes a fair way back.
