That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm listening to the version I have in my iTunes and the one on the website and I can't really tell if there's a difference. One thing I've noticed is that my version doesn't have distinct L/R channels while the website version does. But that might just be the result of what I have in my iTunes. For some reason, Midna's Lament sounds different to me, but I think it has to be a placebo.
Can anyone with a good ear help to identify if the soundtrack has been changed? While if the versions are close enough that I can't tell it obviously doesn't matter audio-wise, the collector/OCD side of me still really cares.
I apologize for the poor phrasing. When I said "this soundtrack," I meant the entirety of the audio featured in the game, like Tookay picked up on. Since I have the original game's audio in my library, I was wondering if this pre-order soundtrack would offer better quality versions of these songs compared to what I already have. I know that this version has more tracks than the Nintendo Power version, but the question is more if the MIDI instruments have been improved. I suppose the fact that I owned the Nintendo Power version was entirely irrelevant and ultimately confusing when I have the game's full OST.
My other concern with my GameStop pre-order is that I only pre-ordered the game from them when they announced the exclusivity. I'm not sure if I'll be guaranteed a copy of the soundtrack as a result.
