I'm assuming it's 44.1k/16bit but a guy can hope... 24bit? 48k? 96k?

The soundtrack is provided in two formats:
* Lossless FLAC format, so bitrate doesn't apply.
* Lossy MP3's, and they have a bitrate of 320kbps.
Hope that helps.

There is an option for the sound track? Not seeing it.
edit: found it!!! They should link it from the games page.

The question was regarding resolution, even though FLAC is uncompressed it still has a resolution...

SirPrimalform: The question was regarding resolution, even though FLAC is uncompressed it still has a resolution...
When I looked at the file information of a FLAC file, it did not provide a bitrate and the Xiph.org site confirms that you don't specify a bitrate for a FLAC file since the file is "lossless" quality: https://xiph.org/flac/faq.html#general__lowest_bitrate.

Therefore, it would make little sense for the developers to add bitrate data to the FLAC files, since the bitrate doesn't really mean anything in a lossless audio file. The bitrate could be 5kbps and it would sound no different. So bitrate isn't really all that important in a lossless file, because it's "lossless".

Also, there is no such thing as a resolution in an audio file.

Thanks for the replies!

Basically, what SirPrimalform said. Every non-analogue audio recording has a resolution. FLAC is lossless, so if the resolution of the originally compressed file was CD-audio quality, you get 44.1kHz/16bit FLAC. It's thankfully becoming more popular to at least master in 44.1k/24bits and more and more is coming out in 48k or 96k / 24 bits


But it's easy to tell from the outside usually: If the resolution is 96k/24, a five minute track will be around 100-115MB, so a decently sized album will usually be larger than 1GB (Michael Jackson's Thriller in HD audio is 1.77GB). If it's 44.1k/16, the entire album will be a few hundred MB.

It's probably 44.1k/16bit, because back in the days that seemed an astronomically high resolution. Since the rest of the game had been remastered though I was wondering if they remastered the soundtrack in HD too.

All you've done in this post is demonstrate to me without a doubt that you don't actually know what you're talking about.

Digital audio has two dimensions, amplitude and time. The resolution of the audio is the bit depth (amplitude resolution) and sample rate (frequency resolution).
I do not have the energy or patience to explain to you any further, but I suggest you do some reading on the subject before you next try to correct someone.
