A few notes-
If you have the game disc, you CAN rip it from there; it’s just being sneaky. Evidently Microsoft/Ensemble, in a bid to seem clever, thought that merely multi-sessioning the master would stop ripping (data in one session, new OST in the other).
Both game’s original MIDI OST’s are on the disc in the "data" session. This is not what I’m after (GH, FFS’s sister site, has those).
Can anybody post the lossless music or rip it from original CD?
Many thanks.
My topic : Thread 63652
@truehammy : if it’s not the OST that you’re searching. Send a MP or reply in my topic when the Gold Edition OST will be released. Thanks.
I’m glad somebody replied my post. Your are right about MIDI music on Gold Edition CD. But it’s not what I am searching for. This music is similar to Rise of Rome music, but not the same. Just look at this page Age of Empires – Gold Edition OST/Soundtrack (download torrent) – TPB (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4491189/Age_of_Empires_-_Gold_Edition_OST_Soundtrack#filelistContainer) I don’t know how was that music ripped, probably converted from MIDI, but Rise of Rome consists of this playlist:
01 – Title Screen (1:08)
02 – Win (0:24)
03 – Loss (0:54)
04 – Tangon Alpha Bravo (3:13)
05 – Polyester Jammy (2:19)
06 – Hyman’s Wrath (2:55)
07 – Mix of the Great Books (2:54)
08 – Mean (Ain’t No Hip-Hop In Tha House Mix) (3:32)
09 – Medieval Melody(3:08)
10 – Rocky Roads (3:06)
11 – Kitty’s Song (3:23)
12 – Fretless Salsa (2:44)
13 – Bigelow’s Bungalow (3:05)
14 – Rise of Rome Credits (1:28)
For Gold Edition, except the playlist posted on Piratebay, there exist other names for individual tracks:
01 – Open (Title Track)
02 – Won (Victory)
03 – Lost (Defeat)
04 – Death (Fresh Start)
05 – Polyester Jammy (Peaceful Village)
06 – Gamelan (Exploration)
07 – Hunt (A New Day)
08 – Rocky Roads (Preparation)
09 – Medieval Melody (Empire)
10 – Tango Alpha Bravo (The Build Up)
11 – The Capture (Conflict)
12 – Bigelow’s Bungalow (In Formation)
13 – New Technology (Pressing On)
14 – Rise of Rome Credits (Dawn)
So, you can see some tracks are present on both Rise of Rome and Gold Edition, but some you can find only in Rise of Rome Soundtrack. That’s why I would like to get to Rise of Rome CD.
Note at the end: finally I found Age of Empires Ultimate Collection on a Spanish forum, which may content what I want. I will know if it’s right in few days because of Uploading.com daily limits.

Firstly, sorry for the delay.
Secondly, I could recreate a large part of this playlist with the MIDI Gamerip version of sounds of Rise of Rome. But the Credits track isn’t in the CD of AOE Rise of Rome. I could download this track but it’s a MP3 version.
But, the version of CD and the official soundtrack of Rise of Rome are different. The sound isn’t the same, just similar.
PS : sorry for my english
In terms of MIDI Gamerip, it has to sound different from original soundtrack whether it’s FLAC or MP3. If you look at how MIDI works, I think it will be clear.
All three CD’s (original Age of Empires, Rise of Rome Expansion and Gold Edition) contain MIDI music. But only the two first were released with CDDA, so there doesn’t exist MP3, lossless etc. form of Gold Edition music. If you find any, it was converted from MIDI.
If you and any other person will be interested in FLAC version of original Age of Empires, Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings or Age of Empires II: The Conquerors music, I will upload it.

These were ripped kinda weird. For some reason, the tracks overlap each other. Can someone re-up the FLAC of the AoE2 soundtracks?
