No problem, guys!
Ah, it slipped my mind, sorry. Still, didn't see the GOTY on there, so if you're into this stuff but don't have the disc it might be worth having a look at those WAVs.

By "personal rip" do you mean "files copied out of the music folder"?
I mean files converted with MODPLUG and split into separate tracks in wave editor, as UMX for every location contains both action and ambient theme, then MP3-zed.

Expanding a little upon what Zylon said - any media player that can handle IT/MOD files and recognize .umx with or without a plugin can play the game's soundtrack right from the \music folder.
Expanding upon what I answered to Zylon, Modplug can not only play but also convert UMXs to WAVs. You can't play UMXs on your hi-fi tower or portable player. It is also easier to seek specific places in MP3 tracks than in UMXs.

Righto, here is my personal rip if you are interested. 50 tracks, both action and ambient themes for every location, Intro Theme, Tong Outro, credists, club mix and quotes music. I omitted just 3 tracks which I personally really didn't like much - Illuminati and Helios ending and one action theme (IIRC Naval Base?). Bitrate 160kbps (LAME, standard stereo, no emphasis) and before someone will be bitching about it being low - it is quite apporopriate for the quality of input file, it was not a Tchaikovsky Super CD.

Yeah, I've had these on CD for years now and find that it's great music to study to. I wish more games these days would spend the time into creating a great soundtrack, but I guess all that money has to go to beefing up the graphics to be competitive.

Investing into good composer early in production can't be really that much expensive for A title. But perhaps that's it - there are few of the great ones and far between?
