   I recently tried to download this from soulseek (there were several   
   available), but declined to because all I could find was .m4a or   
   whatever that Apple format is and was hoping to find it as FLAC.   
   Instead, I just copied the audio from my own DVD and split it up into a   
   whole bunch of tracks real careful like. I recently watched the film   
   with the audio going thru actual stereo speakers for the first time and   
   thought it would be cool to have it on CD. Unfortunately, you have to   
   trim some stuff out of both halves to make it actually fit on CD   
   (something like 40 seconds in the first part and 3+ minutes in the   
   second), so I got lazy and didn't bother with that part of it.   
      
   But yeah, I doubt very many people bought it as an iTunes download. It's   
   kind of too bad FZ didn't put together a "real", less crappy Actual   
   Soundtrack Album for the film.
