The rip of this soundtrack I have isn't the best quality; most every track has that "area enter" jingle that gets really bothersome, especially when you need the original track without any sound effects.

I remember there was this one rip that was just about perfect... does anyone around here have it?

I have one that's 178 tracks long. It's ripped directly from the USFs for the game. I tagged everything myself based on the USF file names and ordering. I've listened to the whole thing several times through, and I don't think (a) that there are any problems, and (b) that it's missing anything. Here's a link:

Awesome! Just what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch, XZero!
