Contribute back to those that you downloaded it. You will just need to keep your VPN and qBittorrent open in the background. You can stop when your ratio is 1.0, this means that you have shared as much as you have downloaded, although it doesn't have to stop there. I currently have a ratio of 14.3 as of writing it doesn't hurt to go even higher.

title: "How To Download Cyberpunk Soundtrack in CD Quality"

For some reason, CD Project Red have decided to not include FLAC or WAV files in the bonus content of Cyberpunk anymore. No idea why.
So anyways, here's how to get it back.
# Setup
First you need to enable the steam console. You can do it using Windows Key + R and pasting in `steam://open/console` or click this link to open it automatically: <steam://open/console>
If you're on Linux you can run `steam -dev` or `steam steam://open/console`. Not sure what the difference is but both should open the console
# Accessing the content
In the console, enter:
```
download_depot 1091500 1495710 6105760403137189353
```
It should begin downloading in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_1091500\depot_1495710` by default. If it's not this directory it should tell you where it is once it finishes downloading. I have no idea where it would appear on Linux so just see where it puts it.
Navigate to that directory, and inside the `BonusContent\soundtrack`, you will find folders named `flac` and `wav`. Either of these are CD quality
Play them with whatever player you want, or copy them to somewhere else. After you're done with the music you can delete the other files.
# Methodology
If you ever need to do this again (app ids change, manifests change) here is how I constructed the command
There are three numbers that you need in order to download a specific version of a "depot", the app id, depot id, and the manifest id.
1. The app id should always be 1091500. This is the app id for Cyberpunk. This is the number that is in the url on steam when you buy Cyberpunk. [SteamDB](https://steamdb.info/app/1091500/)
2. The depot id is the listed under the depot section of the Bonus Content app. As of today it's the same as the appid for the bonus content. You can also see a HQ Audio depot, created around the time this content was removed from the default depot, so hopefully this guide will become redundant someday. [SteamDB](https://steamdb.info/app/1495710/depots/)
3. The manifest id is a manifest id listed on the manifests of the Bonus Content depot. I just picked the one from March 2021, the last one before the 2.0 update. [SteamDB](https://steamdb.info/depot/1495710/manifests/)
# Notes
1. You need to own Cyberpunk in order for this guide to work for you
2. You can use alternative programs to download the files like [DepotDownloader](https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader) or [DepotDownloaderGUI](https://github.com/mmvanheusden/SteamDepotDownloaderGUI), but this is separate to this guide, although the id's should be directly convertible.
