When I read about the cool new intro music, I noticed I was unable to hear it.
I have Direct Song and it was playing it's songs.

Find the gw.ds file, it's should be where the folders for the direct song albums are.

Right click, open with Notepad.

Find the following entries

Quote:
#
# --> Current game plays loginnf (chapter a) instead of loginza (chapter 1) or loginzz (chapter 2)
#
loginnf:Guild Wars Nightfall Original Soundtrack/01_Land_of_the_Golden_Sun.wma[500],Guild Wars Nightfall Original Soundtrack/41_Alternate_Theme(Bonus).wma[500],Guild Wars Battle Pak One/16_Rebirth.wma[1200],Guild Wars Battle Pak One/04_Return_to_Ascalon.wma[1200]
\

add an # infront of loginf should now say

Kinda unrelated, but since there's no CE, does that mean there'll be no Soundtrack (CD)?

You ever have to clean up after a Moa bird?

I posted this fix in another thread, but I don't think anyone knew what I was talking about. ^_^

Thanks for making this thread. People need to know how to hear the groovy new music!

Hopefully, a new official DS file will be released soon.

Deflock, there might very well be a DirectSong soundtrack released. It really doesn't have anything to do with there being a CE. I figure there will be, just like all the other soundtracks. (And I'll buy it! ^_^)

I was more hoping for a physical CD, guess I'm old school.

I too hope they have at least a new DS pack we can buy from DirectSong...

Since there is no CE, there will be no exclusive "bonus" tracks outside the normal packs we may be able to buy.

Since there is no physical cd's, I do hope they give burning rights on a GWEN pack.

If there is no GWEN DS pack.... not sure what I will do. I really like the new music.

There's 70+ minutes of music for GW:EN.

From Jeremy Soule's Myspace blog dated Saturday, July 07, 2007.
"Over 70 minutes of music. My deadline was to be tonight at midnight (I'm not making this up). I finished with ample room to spare--at 10:30 p.m. and not feeling even the slightest bit winded. "

I got some of his songs from DirectSong, but won't anymore because they DRM the hell out of it.

If you're using the same computer you downloaded the songs from you can use your directsong info to reactivate it, if I'm not mistaken.

6 permanent license, 3 temp (that refresh every 24 hours).
OST's have burning / cd creation rights, were CE packs and / add-on does not.
If you hit 0 license, they add 1 automatically in 6 months

If you hit 0, you can contact support and get license reset.

Just FYI, it appears Anet fixed the login screen to work with DirectSong (without modifying your .ds file). I haven't modified my .ds file and I hear the new gwen music.
