[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AceMyth Does anyone know if there was a soundtrack for Marathon ever released?[/quote] No, a soundtrack was never released. This was due to the fact that the first Marathon's musical score was MIDI only, while the only musical tracks found in Marathon 2: Durandal and Marathon: Infinity are the game's title themes. I'm sure some dedicated computer-minded person could extract the MIDI files from the original Marathon as well as the themes from the two sequels. That said, I do know that the group "Power of Seven" performed the title theme for both Marathon 2 and Marathon: Infinity. Try looking up the group and you might be able to locate the title music.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AceMyth Just tried that but my computer can't open the music file since it isn't an actual sound file.[/quote] [url=http://alephone.cebix.net/]Aleph One SDL[/url] This is what they're talking about. A lot of us use the SDL version of the scenario files for portability and such, whatever. The music isn't bundled in a resource file like the original game. Download the Marathon 1 for Aleph One pack. The title screen music for any scenario is the AIFF (.aif) file, and the mp3's for Marathon 1 are in the folder called "Tracks" in the M1A1 folder. edit: Now with pics!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xstar Are you talking about the main mentue of marathon Durandal? Either way, its the same method of getting the music. Go [url=http://source.bungie.org/] here [/url]. CLick download, then scenarios, for the Marathon 2 title song, pick durandal obviously. Extract and all that jazz, once you get the main folder, you will see a file named music.aiff (i think) thats the title song. As fot the marathon 1 soundtrack (Old School MIDI Rox!), do the same, download, extract, but then there is a [b]folder[/b] named Music (once again I think0, in it are all the Mp3 files of the game music! Hope this helps.[/quote] Just tried that but my computer can't open the music file since it isn't an actual sound file.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AceMyth [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The jeffers The game came out in 1994, so you'd be unlikely to get it on CD. It's not exactly chart music either. However, the [url=http://source.bungie.org/get]Aleph One[/url] version of Marathon does contain the music files in mp3 format.[/quote] I didn't think they released one, but I was just hoping that with the success of the Halo soundtracks that Bungie would release one for Marathon, since it was a pretty popular series with a cult following way before hitting it big with Halo.[/quote]Well why don't you just download Aleph then?
