If you right-click on the music player bar you can save the tracks as mp3 files. Was a pain to do individually but just thought about doing it in case...
Oh, not sure whether to post this here or not but a recent interview with Giacchino revealed that he almost forgot to write the jingles for each of the superheros and only remembered the night before!

I leave for a few hours and find everyone quoting me and telling me what I think. 
 
If it hasn't been clear enough yet, I'll say it again -
 
I was expecting a score that was majority Powell. Of course with Williams doing the main theme, Powell was immediately going to be limited in his own material, unlike Giacchino who had 95% of his own music, and the chance to write his own main theme if you will. 
 
But even with Powell's material, I found myself rolling my eyes quite a bit at Williams theme being referenced countless times, because of it being in basically every track. I think it is overused. I know that Powell had no choice but to use it a lot as it's Han's themes, but I am disappointed overall that I find Williams A phrase to be underwhelming and it's overuse therefore isn't welcome to me. And my overall desire to have a Composer do the film themselves and not inherit the key aspects of a score from another. Whether it's the master or not. 
 
Others enjoy his RCP percussion, but to me it sounds like a Zimmer-obsessed teenager who wanted to "epic" up Williams original themes. I really really cringed when I heard 'Reminiscient Therapy.' I can't help my dislike for it, it was an immediate reaction of dislike at how Powell handled the many callbacks.
 
However, I really like Powell's love theme and I literally said "wow" outloud when listening to 'Lando's Closet.' I also like the aggressive villainous theme. Not sure what it's for because I wont be seeing the film, but it's slightly 'out there' for Star Wars and I dig it. There are positives for me, but overall I am disappointed.
 
But I guess people will now call me an idiot, which they have already done above, and tell me how trashy Giacchino's score is etc, even though I find his Rogue One score vastly superior to Powell's Solo. But to each their own.

Welp... 
 
Count me in the minority on this one, was wanting MG to score this movie as well.  I was extremely happy with his RO score and wanted to hear more from him and the possibilities of expanding on themes from RO.  Nothing against Powell, I'm just not as familiar with his works.

I really enjoyed Iron Man's theme--my favorite of the three (?) Iron Man themes so far, honestly. I thought it sounded heroic, sort of how Peter would think of Mr. Stark, and I really like its appearances the "Ferry Dust Up" and "A Stark Contrast" tracks. I think it has a lot of potential, and I'd love to hear Giacchino get to use it again in the future.
 
There's a great interview here about Giacchino's work on this and War for the Planet of the Apes, and he confirms that his Spider-Man theme is supposed to be young and clumsy like the character, which is why I think I like it more than the other Spider-Man themes (though, admittedly, I'm not 100% sure what part of Elfman's main titles is his main theme, even after several listens).
 
What I like about Giacchino's Marvel scores (that other people might not like so much) is that his themes aren't just heroic fanfares. Spider-Man's theme is clumsy and Doctor Strange's theme is kind of sad, but I think both themes reflect their characters well (and I still think that both themes receive pretty heroic renditions in their respective scores). Iron Man's theme sounds the most heroic to me, but that's also how Peter imagines Iron Man, so it's still fitting to the character in a way. And I think the other themes in both scores fit their films just fine. The Ancient One's theme is very mystic and is probably my favorite from Doctor Strange, and while both films' love themes appear only briefly in the films/scores themselves, I really like their longer renditions in the end credits. I think Vulture's theme and the music in his scenes (such as "Fly-By-Night Operation") do a good job capturing the "assembled" nature of the character--combinations of different weapons and machines from different previous villains--and I like the dark choral writing for Kaecilius. It might not be the most distinctive theme in that score, but Kaecilius also isn't the most distinctive villain, so I can forgive Giacchino for that... But overall, I like that Giacchino's themes reflect the nature of their characters, even if that doesn't lend itself to the most heroic music ever written.
 
So anyway, to summarize: A Giacchino fan is happy with Giacchino.
