I can't help but think that something went wrong when packaging the soundtracks. Almost every track is looped three times, inflating the files (both in size and duration). Was it deliberate? Is there somewhere a copy of the soundtrack with just one loop?

Hearing the same three track in a row on my iPod is rather jarring (especially when I'm using both of my hands and can't change it manually).

I hope GOG can provide an answer.

It was ripped from the original game CD (the game used Redbook audio). It was done so that the game wouldn't have to load the track that often (because doing so interrupted the game for a second).
