Anyone know how the two albums for Desplat's Fantastic Mr Fox (2009) goes together chronologically? The 'Original Soundtrack' and the 'Additional Music From The Original Score' albums. Cheers.

Anyone have the order for Poldark: The Ultimate Collection (2019)? It covers all 5 seasons and I would be happy just to know which tracks go with which season. Also there are five tracks that appear on the Deluxe Edition (2016) but not on the Ultimate Collection (Poldark Prelude (Lang Lang), The Crossroads, An Army Against One Man, Poldark Theme & Truth and Consequence). I would quite like to know whether they are just missing from the UC, renamed or included as part of another track. Cheers

I'm a early 90's guy, so I had about 10 years worth of CD's before going predominantly digital. LotR was my first soundtrack CD and they got a lot of plays especially on a NZ holiday, but I wasn't a massive music listener until mid teens so I never really had stacks of CD's to listen to. So by the time I had enough CD's to create a difficult choice I was moving onto digital. Apart from LotR, Star Wars, PotC & the early Assassin's Creed games, I wasn't much into soundtracks till around 2013 and now about 95% of what I listen to is soundtrack. I find organising my digital library much easier than tidying in real life, so I make a little effort keeping it logical and easily labelled. I know its not for everyone but whenever I look at my brothers digital library with its missing artwork, multiples of the same albums because the title is spelt differently, and unknown artists, it gets me mildly annoyed that it doesn't annoy him. But now I know how people feel when they complain about my overrun desk!

For the first few years my library was pretty messy because I had so few tracks but when I started getting into soundtracks I found a need to properly organise. Unlike with albums of popular music a lot of soundtracks are grouped in series so putting them together and in the right order made sense to me. Having a series out of order was only a minor distraction but when all the albums were all over the place because of different first words (Planet of the Apes I'm looking at you!) it was far more annoying to find. Technically it is, but it had been referred to as IJatRofLA similar to how Star Wars became Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. I'm not averse to changing names to fit in with others in the series. In the UK the first Avengers was called Avengers Assemble and the 5th Pirates film was Salazar's Revenge not Dead Men Tell No Tales. I prefer the originals so I use them. Rogue One/Solo : A Star Wars Story is Star Wars: Rogue One/Solo. Jason Bourne is The Bourne Betrayal. I also like arranging films by in-universe chronologically so Temple of Doom comes first, Solo & Rogue One between Ep III & IV, Fantastic Beasts before HP. The MCU and the X-Men series is a nightmare to work out though

It took me a few years but eventually I worked out how to order albums on iTunes without having to alter the visible album name. You go on the 'sorting' tab when filling in the track info and then you can set the album names to Harry Potter 1, Harry Potter 2, etc. The album names will still show up as Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, etc but they will be ordered by how you set the sort album names. Its the same way the system ignores the 'The' at the beginning of song/album names when organising alphabetically.

The strange thing is I'm untidy and cluttered in almost everything except my music library, where I have strict rules and regulations to keep the whole thing organised. Album name, artist, year, track number all have to be right, the album artwork has to of a decent quality, every track is played at least once an all rated to my own system. The whole reason I made this post was because I don't like having multiples of the same track! Having all these film soundtracks out of order because of alphabetical order just looked really awkward to me. FB1 - FB2 - HP2 - HP7 - HP8 - HP4 - HP6 - HP5 - HP1 - HP3 or FB1 - FB2 - HP2 - HP2(LLL) - HP7 - HP8 - HP4 - HP6 - HP5 - HP1 - HP1(LLL) - HP3 - HP3(LLL) Hobbit/Lord of the Rings goes 1-3-2 - 1-3-2, Indiana Jones 4-3-1-2, Pirates of the Caribbean 3-1-2-5-4. Planet of the Apes is all over the place with Battle-Beneath-Conquest-Dawn-Escape-Planet-Rise-War! When will someone create a series with all the titles in alphabetical order?

@Josh500 How can you live with having multiple albums of the same name one after another, the series out of order, and having the 'and' + 'the' capitalised! I couldn't stand it.

Great cheers. It's just a personal preference to how I organise my digital library. Having the OST for over 10 years just to replace them isn't how I like to keep it. I don't mind if I have multiples of extended/shortened/split/alternate tracks but when they are exactly the same I don't like having two or more to listen to. It's why I've never really had a problem with the LotR Complete Scores because I never found a two tracks that were identical

Thanks. I never recognise any minor changes, so when the track times differ by a few seconds it confuses me. This is really useful thank you. I wish this sort of information was easier to find as I dislike having multiple copies of the exact same track. Do you know if there is or will be one for the third film?

Hi everyone, I've been looking at the track list for the 7-CD Harry Potter Collection and I noticed that a few of the tracks have the same names and similar run times (different by a few seconds) to the original 2001/02/04 soundtrack releases. Some tracks are new, some are mentioned to be extended or alternate but I was wondering whether anyone could definitively list those tracks which are straight copies of those on the originals. The slight difference in run times has thrown me and especially with the longer tracks I can't tell if there is any difference. For example: Harry's Wondrous World on the original Philosopher's Stone soundtrack is 5:21 but in this new collection its 5:05 and 5:26(labelled 'Extended Version'), but then you have a 5:02 version on both the original and new Chamber of Secrets soundtracks. Also, on the new Prisoner of Azkaban CD's they list Lumos! (Hedwig's Theme) and Apparition on the Train as [Film Version], with another version of them unlabelled later on, but the time difference is marginal. Are they really that different?
