Hey if you guys want to give some thanks for this I'd love a "vote up" on my post! Actually, it doesn't matter very much, but it's a cool way to say thanks. haha Anyway, enjoy the music!! I know I have been! haha
My rationale is that they allowed anyone and everyone to download the open beta, even without having a battle.net account (as anyone could download the installer from the publicly-accessible URL and then install the beta, thus giving access to the MPQ files containing the music. MPQ editors are also free to access.
could you convert them to something a little higher quality? say 256 or a WAV file? if not, throw them my way via pm please
The .ogg files used in the game are 160kbps so I converted them to 192kbps to hopefully decrease loss of quality via the conversion (since compressing a lossy format with another lossy format obvious causes increased quality loss).
Sure, a couple ppl have msged me, I'll get back to you ASAP
If a mod or someone can OK this I'll just post a direct link so everyone can download.. Heck, I even included old versions of 2 tracks that were in an earlier version of the D3 beta but not present during the open beta (although they are nearly identical to the later versions). Makes for a cool little collector's item, IMO.

If anyone's interested I can share a ZIP of all the music. There's about 1h45m worth of music just in the beta alone!
No comment from mods after a day or so - if you don't want this on here just edit/delete my post.
Here's the download: http://is.gd/HwwTLC Enjoy!
