If - and I dont appreaciate the underlined if thanks I own legitimate copies of the whole TW series
I guess I could've been more polite. I did intend no offense.
Please understand that people ask frequently for things we cannot provide due to copyright restrictions.
I misunderstood your request as such.
This is because I mixed up sounds and animations.
The animations are on the cd, the sounds are not (i.e. compressed).
I stand corrected.

I was looking for them to provide you with a link.
Unfortunately, this is the only thing I can come up with.
From http://www.archive.org:
The version of totalwar.com from Mar 01, 2005 contains this info:

TOTAL WAR MUSIC TO BE RELEASED
Those of you who are big fans of the music from the Total War games should soon be able to buy special edition CD's featuring the music from Rome: TW, Medieval: TW and BAFTA award winning music from Shogun: TW. With extended versions and remixes these will be an awesome purchase for any TW fan. Any one interested should send an email here so we can contact you first, as soon they become available.
This sounds to me as if they intended to sell the music. This would support my thesis that it wasn't free to download.
I'm sorry, I can't provide a download source for the sounds. My folder is 240mb large and the mentioned copyright issue isn't solved.
So, even if I intended to upload them I wouldn't know if I was allowed to.

I think the easier and faster way is to install and delete the rest you don't need.
