Does anyone have links to the FLAC versions of Batman: Arkham Knight OST (Volume 1 & Volume 2)?

I looked around and the best I could find was a lossy (M4A AAC) version of Volume 1, and a very lossy (states MP3 320 but Spec shows a much lower bitrate is actually present) version of Volume 2.

Thought I’d ask in case its floating around somewhere.

^I think you can request the original poster for the Vol 1 FLAC to repost or reupload.

Volume 2 was not released in lossless, from what I was told and after looking on Qobuz. As for the lossy 320 that Bart Oss shared, we’re pretty much stuck with that unless someone buys Vol 2 off iTunes and shares it because his MP3 version has been shared across multiple sites. The exact same transcode.

Well, that would explain a lot. I was under the impression there was an official CD release based on the Amazon listing, but when I looked closer (after seeing your comment) it turns out there’s a "CD-R" note saying that it’s made on demand….presumably from the same source they already send you if you buy the digital version.

So where did the lossless version of Volume 1 come from?

I believe Smurf Stomper or T-1000 had the lossless for Vol 1. I’d upload it but my ISP slows down the upload rate to like, dial-up speeds.

For those that care, igoryek posted M4A versions of Volume 2 (an improvement over the MP3 versions, based on spectrum analysis).

(still looking for the lossless/FLAC versions if anyone happens to see them)
