Maybe posting links to good quality versions of the songs (in the order provided) on YouTube instead? Couple that with a "free YouTube to MP3 converter"...
(Later today I'll post a list of the YouTube links I have thus far, since I have many of these tracks already.)

Yeah you should probably not mention that last part about converters, still a felony.

Discussion is illegal?

By the government's standards it can be considered conspiracy. Since the RIAA is active when it comes to such things it is always good to avoid public discussion.

Even if it's not official, you might want to consider adding Separate Ways and Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) to the end of the list... after all, those are pretty much canon additions to the soundtrack.

Steve, is this off of the jukebox in there, or is there some iPod playlist that someone who runs the place uses? Because there are some WEIRD things about this playlist.
1) Someone really likes The Go-Gos
2) Seems to cluster around songs in 1981
3) The Cure - Primary? David Lindley? Red Rider? Non-True Spandau Ballet? Really?
Very unusual indeed. Cool to see it all in one place. And yes, I was also surprised that neither Separate Ways nor Sweet Dreams was on there. If I didn't know any better, it's almost like they blew the whole public performance rights budget on Ebony & Ivory and Billie Jean and had to stuff a bunch of easier to clear stuff from 1981 to fill out the list (I'm looking at you Joe Walsh, King Crimson, & Dave Edmunds).

Re: Full Soundtrack From Flynn's Arcade!!! 100% Official you make great points. The only thing i can answer is, I got this list from a very, very good source.

With the fees, since they are being used as a background in a place of buisness rather than a movie/tv soundtrack the fees should be considerably less. Still not free though.

Songs that should be on any 80s arcade playlist This gets me thinking about my songs that I'd add (restricting to 80s tunes, not necessarily in that 1980-1982 era):
* Video Fever - The Beepers (from WarGames )
* I Love You (Miss Robot) - The Buggles
* Joystick - Dazz Band
* She Blinded Me with Science - Thomas Dolby
* Head Games - Foreigner
* Games without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel
* Computer World - Kraftwerk
* Home Computer - Kraftwerk
* It's More Fun to Compute - Kraftwerk
* Computer Games - Mi-Sex
* Together in Electric Dreams - Giorgio Moroder & Philip Oakey
* Are "Friends" Electric - Gary Numan / Tubeway Army
* Computer Blue - Prince & the Revolution
* Something in the Water (Does Not Compute) - Prince & the Revolution
* Computer Game (either one) - Yellow Magic Orchestra

Hey Socalsteve, since you seem to be in communication with someone who might know, when is Electronica wrapping up?
I'm going to be back in the area late May/early June but I'd like to know if it will be before then so I can try and plan a trip out.

April. Unless it gets extended.

They probably aren't going to be extending it (aside from the DVD release then) because it's just about time to start construction for that area as part of the DCA rennovation.

Agreed. There would have to be a massive surge of ElecTRONica goers next month to prompt them to push back rennovations.
