On August 24th, 2007, 2K Games released the orchestral score for free on their official homepage.[1] Available for download in MP3 format[2], it contains twelve tracks from the game. Various members on the official BioShock forum have assembled a list of known licensed tracks in the game.[3] The BioShock Limited Edition came with a three tracks by Moby.

Note to iTunes users: several BioShock iMixes have been made, but one titled "The Music of Rapture (BioShock)" has low-fi versions of the songs used in the game to simulate the sound of being played on a record. These songs are also the versions used in the game, not from other artists or remixes. If songs from the game are not available on iTunes, they are not included on this mix nor are versions of the same song but by another artist included.
