Official CV music omitted from iTunes

Just thought I'd mention that for years now I've been enjoying the SOTN and COD ost's on Apple Music.

Last week SOTN vanished... Then Curse of Darkness vanished.

Upon further investigation I found that not only had these 2 wonderful albums by Yamane been removed from Apple Music, but from itunes as well!

I realized that the LoS1&2 osts have also been removed.

As far as I can tell there is no official CV albums on iTunes or Apple Music as of now.

I can live with Los and COD but SOTN was on my daily mix...

 :(

A shame of the world.

It's just unrealistic that one can't get a digital copy by any means...Or if they encountered copyright trouble?

To find and hunt those extremely rare copy of soundtracks nowadays is just unrealistic.

I ripped SotN and CoD to my PC's hard drive years ago. I kinda knew this was going to happen since companies seem to have this predictable mindset. And it never fails to happen. so I prepared for it. All I have to do is simply put them on an Mp3 player and I'm good to go.

It is really hard to get your hands on Castlevania OSTs. I only have a couple of them and I'm still on the hunt for more.

Well, since Konami isn't giving any options for a legal method, just grab them mp3s online.

CD Japan.  I got hold of the SotN ost for very cheap on there just last year, brand new copy as well.  They have a bunch of other Castlevania cds on there as well.  I've sworn by them for getting hold of a lot of stuff for ages.  They appear to have both SotN and CoD available atm: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/searches?term.media_format=&q=castlevania .  I got my copy of Santa Lilio Sangre from there as well.  Cost a small fortune in shipping but it arrived in just 4 days and over New Year at that.

Sorry I wasn't being specific.

It's not an issue of not having access to the music.
I'm a CV collector and I own copies.

I'm just expressing concern and lamenting over the inconvenience of Apple Music's albums being removed. It was nice having them there.

And I just think it's weird that they're not even for sale on iTunes anymore either.

Sounds like their contract's expired if not some other reason. It's a real shame we live in an age were this kind of corporate pandering is commonplace.

I see, what Konami is doing, at least of my deduction is trying to sell rights of Castlevania, but to do that they have to convince the stock owners that CV is worthless. Which might play good for us (if it falls to the hand of good company)

This level of delusion is sad

Also, the CDs still listed on the Konami Style JP shop have a "Waiting for backorder" tag, not sure if that's recent, but at least is not "Out of stock" so there's still hope

oh is that what happenned?  i tried loading my sotn songs yesterday (not sure why itunes randomly deletes tracks from my phone when i have plenty of storage) and was wondering why i couldn't redownload the randomly deleted tracks.  while trying to find the album on itunes, i stumbled across a metalvania soundtrack, thought it sounded awesome, so i bought it and put further investigation on hold.  the fans who make these albums deserve our money more than konami if they're going to be like that ><

edit: oh thank goodness i still have sotn on my old iphone.  while we're at it, Castlevania Puzzle Encore of the Night hasn't been on the app store for a while :(

They're not on Spotify either. Just confirmed.
Konami's done an evil thing again.

It's a shame the main Dungeon websites MP3 download links are no longer viable due to the host going kaput. Seems like it would be a pain to reassemble that collection, but it's as Shiroi says: if they're gonna make it impossible to do it legally, then only one alternative remains, and it is... less tasteful. But at least it's easier on your wallet.

How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

That quote from Eric Roman in your sig really can't be any more relevant than now.
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

I know right?! Konami's business decisions make less sense than HTC's, and that's saying something!

it's not as if they're not thinking of cv music.  they're releaseing the nes sound tracks on vinyl.  or someone is, i'm assuming they're going through proper licensing procedures.  haha i had searched for the vinyl sound tracks on itunes a while ago just to see if they were there to no avail.
