pointless. Sometimes you wonder why they bother.
No wonder people can get away with selling 2/3 of a gig on ebay for £20 +

SO, let's give em the feedback - get them onto WAV or FLAC before they fuck this up too..
They won't since they can't protect them. 192kB/s that's what we'll get:S
WHOA!!!!
What do you mean 99p per track?
Where the heck does it say that on the Queen site?
I've paid my money in good faith that when the tracks become available I can download them. NOT be asked to then pay 99p a track on top!
late addition to this reply:
Okay. I've now been to the shop and re-read what it says and found the word "purchased" amongst all the text.
I think it should be made MUCH CLEARER to folks that tracks have to be purchased seperately as I know other people who have purchsed the CD at that ridiculous price thinking they'd get a cd's worth of "free" downloads.
If I'm buying the songs seperately, I want a refund on the CD and I'll use my own!!!!
Jeez, that VERY sly of them.

OKAY it's not very often I'm getting pissed off but now I'm. I bought the special CD so I thought for that price I can buy a a good live CD of this tour with the official downloads. BUt still no downloads(I wonder how much pro-tools they need to make it listenable) but even more so I seem to have to pay for the downloads. I don''t care if the proceeds are going to the phoenix trust or what so ever, this was not told at the beginning of this project. So I don't want the CD anymore, please them stick it to place where the sun don't shines.
I agree it would be excellent to get the whole of every concert, but at least we are getting something. They did not have to do it at all.
There is too much negativity on these pages :-)
If they release at least 1 version of every track played over the course of the tour then it could make a really cool album. A bit like Live Killers. Or even two albums if they continue to release 2 tracks per show.
And I don't mind paying the money to charity. Did you really expect them to give the tracks away for free. All the news items etc. I have seen said you would have to purchase them.
Again you don't have to buy any of them, let alone all.
I think many fans will be happy to have the opportunity to get a record of the Tour oficially.
When bootlegs come along then I am sure many people will buy / trade them as well. You can't stop that even by releasing the whole concerts but at least we will have an offical good quality record of the Tour available.
I can't see them releasing a full album to buy in the shops although we might well see a DVD at some point.
Be positive and happy :-) Chill .....

I haven't seen such a stereotypical case of Stepfordism on this board for months:)
Funny, it seems some people are surprised by the QOL "moves" with this...
And it is so predictable that it should go this way, why is anyone wondering?
And it is so cool to ask others to buy this and then download them ourselves for free huh?
Long live internet
Long live free share of music!
Long Live Brian and Roger!

We are going to have unoffical bootlegs and we are going to have the offical downloads.
People can pay their money (or not) and take their choice.
That was all I was trying to say.
We are not going to get every concert released officially in full. You can complain but it ain't going to happen so you may as well pick one of the other options above.
Either way Stay Happy and don't stress yourself about things that you can't change.

Yes, you are right - I am not complaining. I am also not buying a substandard product for ridiculous money and the "but, oh - we donate it all" disgusts me even more. I rely on my fellow fans who will provide for amateur recordings who may not be perfect but made with passion and shared for free.
I just downloaded the sound files from qol. And I have to say that I'm pretty impressed of paul rodgers work. Much better than then 46664-clip.
Well worth my bucks.
Well worth my bucks.
What is the file format?
they are in wma. 192 kb/sec
I am d/loading "I Want to Break Free" from Madrid.
The price is absurd IMO. US$2 a track is silly, plus the blank CD for $10 and it's $25 for a CD made from 8 downloaded .wma files. 50c a track would be far more reasonable, this is an absurd price for average quality recordings.
But I am desperate to hear these tracks.

Are we gonna have this on torrent ?
It would be nice to share these first 8 tracks .
If each person shares 2 tracks, it would be a lot cheaper to obtain them....
Who's with me ? I dont mind buying a couple to share on torrent...
1£ versus 50£ for the whole 50 songs is a lot different !

OK listened to IWTBF, it is a very well recorded track with a nice mix of crowd noise and the band ... very enjoyable. But I am still flabbergasted that it's going to cost me an absolute FORTUNE if I want to get the full set ...
