hmm... well - when I played it on my laptop - it was really hard to heard the majority of songs - except for those HEAVY CRASHING NOISES

As far as my actual iPod... I've only listened to the Overture and did like a reeeaaaaalllly quick skim through the other tracks. .... but anyway

yea - it is hard to hear some parts but it didn't seem as bad as when I played it via computer speakers (I mean - it was easier to hear on headphones than on my speakers - but I don't use those standard white iPod headphones, I've got Shure headphones/earbuds - forget model number). I could hear definite things going on on the "Overture" - there's just a lot of low drones and soft synth

But I think this is down to the fact it's not an "album" and it's not even really a "soundtrack" in the sense of a normal soundtrack. I mean - this is for the theatre, where it's more sound effects and cues for actions within the play

I used to help with audio stuff back when I dated a girl who was getting her BFA in technical theater, and more often than not - they'd only use like... less than 30 seconds of any track -> be it ambient tone, instrumental track, or even a full on song (or with a "full on song" you'd get more than 30 seconds - but like never the full length song... unless it was a musical... but now I'm just rambling)
