JohnnyD 1,220 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just for clarification, Stalling Around (Cartoon Demonstration), is the title a clever pun reference to Carl Stalling,similar to what John Williams did with Steiner In the Grass from The Lost World: Jurassic Park as a reference to Max Steiner?

Nick1Ø66 4,687 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Is the Amazon version glitched? Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that in most cases the AAC files, including the "Mastered for iTunes" files, are delivered to Apple already encoded by the record label, using Apples published specifications. I don't believe Apple actually encodes most of the music or video in their store, and I'm assuming this is the case with Amazon as well. Therefore, any defects or glitches are going to be the fault of the studio or label that delivered them to Apple. If the "glitches" (and I'm not sure what I've read here necessarily means the files are "glitched") were a result of that particular iTunes/AAC encoding, then the Amazon MP3 version may be OK...but obviously if it's a problem with the master, there probably wouldn't be any difference.

Richard Penna 3,669 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Well in this case it's been explicitly explained that Williams personally chose the extra material. Doesn't sound like there was another party trying to persuade him to include more.Plus this isn't an Indy level screw up. They've omitted a single noticeable cue, which many here don't even care about.For the studio's sake, I hope they make this available outside the US/Canada. I know the 3D film probably doesn't appear here for ages, but it's really naive of them to think that people across here won't 'obtain' it anyway.

BTR1701 59 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Exciting news indeed!!! I remember this being mixed across the hall from my office and being invited in to see the reels as they were done. It was awesome to hear the film come together, and it remains one of my favorites.Is anyone else getting a message that the soundtrack is not available in the US iTunes store? The link on the JWfan.net story produces this error as does searching for it on iTunes. I hope there was not some sort of limit hit in terms of downloads.I just saw this album on iTunes while doing my monthly perusal of the synthesized dreck that film music has become and saw this under new releases. Clicked on it, only to get "The item you have requested is not available."Then I come over here and find out that not only has everyone here managed to download it, but it contains all sorts of unexpected goodness and it's only available on iTunes, so I can't go anywhere else and get it.Seriously... WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The iTunes version was either taken down because two tracks had glitches, it wasn't supposed to go on sale until April 9th, or both. It's available for pre-order as mp3 on Amazon right now, and the iTunes AAC version is sure to return at some point. It's currently unknown if a lossless version will be available in the future, and Universal's press release indicated no physical CD version is planned.

scallenger 481 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I really hope, at the very least, they fix the glitches and offer the MP3s at least at 320K, if not lossless on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how this release has brought a good number of new people here plus brought some older members out from the depths of despair! Thank you very much! Supposedly I've had this account for 6 years now, as I found out when I tried to create an account here to ask about the glitches. I hope to be more active as I've made MIDI sequences of JW scores in the past and I love his work. Love your picture, by the way!You can delete the ones you have and re-download.Yeah, I tried to do this and it didn't work out all that well for me. There was no obvious option, even with the iTunes "help" page. In the end, I got iTunes customer support to issue me a second download. The same issue exists with the second download. I reported the glitch to them and they said, "I have submitted this item for investigation. Apple takes the quality of the items offered on the iTunes Store seriously and will investigate the issue with this item, but I can't say when or if the issue will be resolved. Please try again in a few weeks."Upon a follow-up e-mail in which I said others had the same problem, the rep said, "Thank you for your reply to my follow up. I understand that there is one more song that is not working correctly. I also gather that this is the same issue with other customers that downloaded these tracks. Pierce, I appreciate the additional information. Rest assured that they are all noted and these are a great help to us. But I can't say when or if the issue will be resolved. Please try again in a few weeks if you want to re-download these tracks."Kind but robotic. I did get 3 "song" credits though.Ah so it will be virtually the same quality as the iTunes release, then, just a different format.256kbps AAC is superior to 256kbps MP3 thoughYes, noticeably.If iTunes fix the glitches, how would this be reflected in the libraries of the ones we've already purchased and downloaded them?Hmm, well. iTunes gave me a second download to try and fix the issue; after downloading the entire album a second time, the new files were called "Journey to the Island 1" and "Incident as Isla Nublar 1" for example while the old files were still present. In the library, they just take the place of the old files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,669 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I wouldn't mind those robotic responses (they are honest and direct) if they didn't have this crap in the middle:Apple takes the quality of the items offered on the iTunes Store seriouslyNo shit, Sherlock.--I've never liked that Amazon only has 256k mp3s, and often it's VBR which goes less than that. The cynic in me says they don't display this on the page because they don't want to make it obvious that they're sometimes skimping on size.

Pie 0 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Wow.The customer help rep sent another follow-up e-mail and I responded just to be polite. She then wrote back (just now):"Thank you for your reply to my follow up again. I'm glad that the album is getting checked and hopefully the songs will be all right when it's re-released. I have reversed the charge for "Jurassic Park - 20th Anniversary". In five to seven business days, a credit of $9.99 should be posted to the credit card that appears on the receipt for that purchase. You can use the refund to re-purchase the album as it is possible that you will no longer be able to re-download these songs since they were modified. Please note that your refund should be credited within 5-7 business days from the date it was processed. If there is a delay in your refund and it took longer than the usual, feel free to email us back again. Also, you can contact your credit card company regarding questions about when the credit will be posted to your account. I hope I've been able to fully address your concerns. If you need further assistance, please let me know in your reply. Thank you very much for contacting iTunes Store Support. I hope you have a wonderful day. "I didn't even ask for a refund! I'm not sure I should respond because I feel like the more I respond to be polite, the more she is contractually obligated to send me e-mails as part of her job description!

scallenger 481 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hey, that's pretty awesome! I wonder if they normally do that?I actually had an interesting thought regarding Amazon customer service (or even iTunes). I wonder if we could all just ASK if maybe they can release the entire album, or at the very least, the 4 bonus tracks, in lossless? If there is enough demand for such a format (perhaps all the Bieber and Brittany fans never ask for such things, so it isn't something they normally put out because there is no demand). Or will it just be a waste of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,037 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Amazon did a similar thing for me a few years back - I bought an mp3 album that had a single glitchy track, so I wrote a polite email to ask about the issue...they couldn't fix it, but they gave me a full refund. Perhaps this is common practice among digital music stores. Seems like a good way to keep every customer you can get, in this age when so many people just download albums illegally.

Pie 0 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 As far as I've heard this is pretty rare for Apple.
