BMG to distribute Konami's music online
The place may be overrun with deadly monstrosities and the overwhelming powers of darkness, but the tunes that echo throughout the hallways of Dracula's castle usually make the vampire killing ordeal worth it. Sensing that others might share the dark lord's fine taste in orchestral compositions, Konami has announced an agreement with Sony BMG Music to distribute its library of tunes through mobile service providers and online music retailers, including iTunes and Rhapsody. The deal encompasses soundtracks beyond those belonging to the obvious Dance Dance Revolution franchise, even catering to those that find the clanging pipes and grating gears of Silent Hill preferable to the latest Ashlee Simpson squealfest.Konami also promises to make its vast history of music available for purchase on its official website, though specific release dates have yet to be announced.

Good stuff! I've got plenty of credits for iTunes and can't wait. Great soundtracks, current fave being DoS.

I have a good deal of the music from the CD with the PoR pre-order bonus, but I love Castlevania music, and can always use some more.

Nice triple post blizz!
Personally, I like iTunes; easy to gather your music, add to your iPod and to buy music with. Only downside to iTunes is that, at times, it can eat up your RAM.

damn triple post thats what happens when you get a page error when you click add comments and you refresh it i guess. any way i don't like iTunes cuz it use more resources than necessary it makes a second copy of every song you play in it unless you imported it from a CD or purchased it through iTunes and i don't buy mp3's I'll download them free thank you, if i like the artist or album enough i will then go and purchase the CD. thankfully i found another program (anapod) to use with my ipod,its much faster and barely uses any resources.

iTunes, and pretty much all downloadable music, is DRM'd low-quality garbage. No, and no "thank you", either.

I'd love to buy it. Except for the DRM. DDR music is my favorite and if they release it with out the DRM I'll be rolling with almost all of it. Good stuff.
And Naoki = The Bomb.
