Q: You have sold the soundtrack for the game on your DirectSong.com web site. So far what has the responses been like?
A: DirectSong has seen a huge surge in interest and I'm a close friend with John Davison who heads the site. He's been very happy with Oblivion and has taken steps to bring the best quality forward for his customers.
The files at DirectSong are 320kbit, which is far higher resolution that what was heard in the game. The audio quality is also superior to what may be on various peer-to-peer networks as everything out there is just a re-encode of the original WMA files or a rip from the game.
There are hard core fans that have generally wanted to show their support for the game and they've bought the soundtrack. Others have wanted to have an out-of-game mastered listening experience for their ipods or cars. Whatever their motivation for a purchase, many folks have written to let us know that the score is absolutely beloved and enjoyed.
