Did you buy the game there out of the blue? You're in for some work. They got guides, for example, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil.../?id=119489135
Last time i played this was on the SEGA Saturn...that's going back a bit!
The best way to do this on a modern computer is to use a source port of Quake, not the official release. I'm away from my computer right now, but when I have access to it I'll let you know my set up to play it. If I recall correctly, it wasn't very difficult, and it doesn't require a CD at all if you have digital music files.
Okay, here it is: https://mega.nz/#!sYEiSSYA!65Dq0zyaZ...m-uqC1fXg-b-f0
It comes with the soundtrack, so you don't need a CD or files. All you do is run the unpacker in the folder you want, then run the .bat file it unpacks in that folder. It uses the source port DarkPlaces which you can read about here :https://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/
It's essentially exactly the same as the original release, but runs on an updated engine with more options. This is the only way I've played Quake for years; it's hard to go back after you get all the new rendering and key-binding options. If you run into any problems, there's a FAQ on the site to help and to explain some of the new options.
'NOTHING EVER ENDS' off of WATCHMEN: VOL 3 could TOTALLY be a track for Quake.
The breathy vocals of TR on this track remind me a lot of this track...
Listening to my rip today.
When/if this ever comes to NIN.com, it’ll have to be a 2LP because it’s an hour (vinyl can only hold 45 minutes).
More than anything, I'm really hoping that when this eventually gets released Trent finally gives all of the tracks official names.
The catalog number for my release is 1000463.201.US (back of jewelcase); 1000463.221.US (from back of booklet). Mine came in a bigger box packaged with the 2 expansion/content updates, purchased from Sam's Club. I've already confirmed that my disc is Quake v1.08, WinQuake v1.09, and GLQuake ? (should be the latest version); it does not contain pre-emphasis and appears to be a completely different pressing. There are slight millisecond differences in the tracking (which ends up just being silence), and the data track shows as 4.5x times the length in EAC.
I plan on posting all my logs here when I'm done. I'm ripping with the latest EAC, EAC v0.95 prebeta 3, dBpoweramp, iTunes, and CDParanoia. Is there any other program you'd like me to try when comparing our rips?
I think the delay in the release of the vinyl is due to TR having trouble naming the tracks... just my opinion.
Or they're just trying to include every alternate names in one, like
5. "It is grisly freezing, vertico raped grotto"
I would really not be surprised to learn that the reason we've had no news about the Quake soundtrack is Bethesda being dicks. Or maybe given the success of the two recent Doom games they want to do a similar reboot and ask TR to score again, leading to the album being re-released to coincide with a new game.
...ripping my disc without pre-empasis now as iTunes rips apparently don't account for this...

Oh, Mac? iTunes absolutely applies de-emphasis unless we're talking a 15+ year old computer. Also, the more muted rip should (always) be correct when comparing pre-emphasis/de-emphasis rips.
It's much harder to tell on something like this, but instantly stands out in genres like Jazz, or brass-heavy music.
Made a full tracklist out of StockAvuryah's idea because why not lol
- Persian Inversion of the Quake
- Aftermath of the Life Beneath it All
- Start of Whispers in the Hall of Souls
- It is a Grisly Freezing, Vertigo Raped Grotto
- Journey into the Parallel Dimensions of Slipgate Complex
- Underearth Hammer
- Icy Damnation from the Castles
- Necropolitan Focus or Maybe Peace?
- Falling into Ziggurat with Violence Inside
- The Reaction to the Death Inside the Gloom Keep

Quad facepalm is not enough to react to those ^^^
My ego won't suffer at all if the soundtrack release would come without fancy titles
-- edit --
i mean, there's a certain kind of beauty in labels on the records that just read: Quake soundtrack by nine inch nails. Side A. Quake soundtrack by nine inch nails. Side B. etc.
