You can order the New Moon Soundtrack in many places, but if you order it through Amazon, it is only $9.99 and you get a free $1 mp3 download as well. (Hopefully they will still be giving out the free mp3 download by the time you read this!) You can also download the soundtrack from iTunes.

Along with the release of the Twilight DVD this week, a new Special Edition Twilight Soundtrack (CD/DVD) has been released by Amazon.

Can’t wait to get your Twilight Soundtrack? You can still download the Twilight mp3s as well from Amazon. 17 songs will cost you $11.99, or you can buy some of the songs individually for .99 each. If you are an iTunes user, you can also download the original Twilight Soundtrack for $11.99 from iTunes.

First, you can download Twilight ringtones from Thumbplay. From what I have heard, they are one of the most legitimate ringtone sites. It will cost you about $10 a month and you get to keep any ringtones that you download. They have over 77,000 downloads available. Here’s a direct link to the Muse ringtone for Supermassive Black Hole, but once you get into the site, you can look around for other songs as well such as Decode. This is definitely the easier way to get the Twilight ringtones because you don’t need to have any technical knowledge.

Second, you can create your own Twilight ringtones. If you already have the Twilight soundtrack and would like to make an unlimited number of ringtones, you should check out the software from Avanquest. Ringtone Media Studio 3 is only $15 and you can download it immediately. Here’s a description from their site: “Ringtone Media Studio is the best way to create your personalized ringtones from your mp3s and CDs, mobile movies from your video collection, and picture slideshows or mobile wallpapers from your photo collection. No subscriptions, no contracts, no pay-per-download. Create as many ringtones, wallpapers and movies as you want.” This way to get Twilight ringtones is a little bit more work but is worth it if you want to really customize your phone.

I know that there are ways to get Twilight ringtones for “free”, but honestly most of them are scams or illegal. Just pay the $10-$15 and get the ringtones that you want.

We’ve been waiting for it and now it is here! If you are like me and are too impatient to wait for a copy of the CD, you can get the entire Twilight Original Movie Soundtrack from iTunes for $11.99. The only song available for individual purchase is Paramore’s Decode, the first officially released song from the CD.

The reviews that I have read are pretty good so far. In case you need a reminder, here are the tracks:

Muse — Supermassive Black Hole
Paramore — Decode
The Black Ghosts — Full Moon
Linkin Park — Leave Out All The Rest
MuteMath — Spotlight (Twilight Mix)
Perry Farrell — Going All The Way (Into The Twilight)
Collective Soul — Tremble For My Beloved
Paramore — I Caught Myself
Blue Foundation — Eyes On Fire
Rob Pattinson — Never Think
Iron & Wine — Flightless Bird, American Mouth
Carter Burwell — Bella’s Lullaby

Plus, there are a couple of bonus tracks:

Rob Pattinson — Let Me Sign
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra — La Traviata
The APM Orchestra — Clair de Lune

If you would rather have the Twilight CD itself, you can order it from Amazon for $9.99 and you should have it in a few days. If you don’t place an order for $25 or more, you will have to pay shipping. I’ll be anxious to hear from those of you who have it!

As the release of the Twilight movie approaches, so does the release of the Twilight Movie Soundtrack. The curious thing about the Twilight Soundtrack is that it is being sold via pre-order but no tracks are listed. In fact, MTV reports that some of the songs have not even been recorded yet. While many speculate that the songs will include songs that Stephenie Meyer has listed on her website, it is unknown exactly what will be on the CD.

However, if you want to be among the first to get a copy, you can pre-order the Twilight Soundtrack at Amazon right now. The CD will be released on November 4.

If you are curious as to what Stephenie Meyer considers to be the “soundtrack” to the movie (what she was hearing as she wrote the books), here is the list from her website:

1. “Why Does it Always Rain on Me?” — Travis
2. “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” [video edit] — My Chemical Romance
3. “Creep” [radio edit] — Radiohead
4. “In My Place” — Coldplay
5. “By Myself” — Linkin Park
6. “Dreaming” — OMD
7. “Please Forgive Me” — David Gray
8. “Here With Me” — Dido
9. “With You” [reanimation remix] — Linkin Park
10. “Time is Running Out” — Muse
11. “Dreams” — The Cranberries
12. “Tremble for My Beloved” — Collective Soul
13. “Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel)” — Billy Joel

If you are interested in any of these, check out iTunes.
