The Music of Middle-earth

All the low reviews for this app are from people who thought it would come with the LOTR soundtrack. That makes no sense, and the app would be taken down in months for massive copyright infringement. This app is exactly what I have been looking for. The sheer volume of organized themes is extremely impressive, and helps me study and understand the techniques Howard Shore used. I had been looking for maybe an Internet article that listed all the different themes, but this is even better; an app that links to your itunes and classifies and organizes all 80+ themes that represent different people, ideas, cultures and locations in Middle-Earth. One of the best things about this trilogy is the music, and the app lets me access and view all of it in a new lens. So stop acting like you expected the app to come with all of the Lord of the Rings music for free.

There seems to be confusion among ppl who previously downloaded this app. It does not give you the soundtracks. Rather, if you already have them on iTunes it links to them. It’s generally a great app. The albums it links to are: the “Original Soundtrack,” the “Complete Recording,” and the “Rarities Archive.” This last one doesn’t come up on my iTunes and I’ve never heard if it. I think there are a couple mistakes, like under the theme for “Rohan Fanfare,” the piece under the track “Uruk-Hai” is, I think, the theme for the Fellowship, not for Rohan. But I may be wrong.

I love it but it says that I don't have it even though I own a song from the ROTK complete recordings
