cant find a soundtrack on cd
Posted by: Wiltshireman on 24 September 2012
I have searched high and low for the soundtrack by James Horner of 'The boy in the striped pyjamas' with absolutely no luck on line anywhere, any ideas why not anyone?
It is available as an MP3 download from Amazon. Also the whole score has been posted on Youtube. The CD appears to be long deleted, but there is a shop called Backtrack located in Rye in East Sussex that specialise in film soundtracks. Just had a quick look and they don't have it at present, but they deal in very many used/deleted/rare soundtracks and if you contact them with your wants they will get back to you if they get a copy in stock.

Ah! - a postscript to the above. There was no CD ever released of the score. It was released exclusively as a download from Amazon and iTunes.
Peter
Ah that explains a lot infact I was wondering if that was the reason. What a shame as I have much of Horners stuff but only just watched the film and hadn't realised it was one of his. I will have to download it for use on my ipod but would have liked to hear it on my system. Thanks for help chaps.
You could always burn an audio CD from the MP3 files on your computer to play on your CD player (assuming you have one).

Hi, I thought that mp3 files were too compressed to work on my CD5 but if that sounds ok if it works.
You don't need to burn the disc as MP3 files. You can burn an audio format CD that will play on any CD player from MP3 files just the same as from an uncompressed lossless file. The source file type is irrelevant. If you use Windows Media Player then you select the burning option as "Audio CD". This means that it will be burnt as a normal audio CD playable on any player (that can play CDR's) - it will not be a disc of MP3 files. Obviously it will not be normal CD quality since the source was MP3 files which are lossy, but it should sound perfectly acceptable on your Naim player. Hope this helps.

Cheers Peter i will try to do this later today,

I have done this but the disc will not play. My cd5 states the disc has one track and it is only c100mb in size, any ideas how I can change this. I have a Mac if that makes any difference, Cheers.
Have sorted it out at last! thanks all.
