1) Yes, they have bundled EE with the Classical one.
BUT....
2) In the EE back-up and goodies, you can claim the a copy of the Classical game
3) Once that game is on your shelve, you have access to it's back-up and goodies, including the SOUNDTRACK!
So, please don't say that you lost the soundtracks.
It is also true that they are selling the EE soundtracks separately. The reasons for this could be:
- FLAC version not available by default
- EE version contains extra songs (at least in BG series)
- people who don't own the game can buy only the soundtrack if they wish?
All in all I support Beamdog because they at least try to keep the legacy alive. Fixing bugs, modernizing the look a bit, and most importantly keeping games up to date with modern hardware requirements.
Ok, now I wait for the "haters" to hit me :)
The copy of the classic version you claim via the EE version doesn't show up on your shelf either. It is just treated as an extra under the EE version.
Stop telling lies, please.
And Beamdog trying to keep the legacy of those games alive? Come on. Those games were the highest selling games on GoG even after the EE versions came out. The legacy was very much alive. Beamdog just bundled them so they could get all the income from both versions.
And fixing bugs? The classics, on GoG, were bug free. Never played them, did you? The EE versions, however, are still a buggy mess and they get biggier each time Beamdog patches them.
If you love the EE games, great. But don't lie about them to get people to buy them or support Beamdog.

You don't get this version on your shelf if you install it via the EE version either.
Yes, the Enhanced Edition doesn't have the soundtrack as bonus material. But if you go to "My Account" and click on the IWD EE you will see a notification saying "Icewind Dale Classic Edition gift code in now available in the "more" -> "serial keys" section." - this means you get a code to redeem the classic version of the game that was sold on GOG before EE edition was released. The classic edition includes all bonus content that was available previously, including the soundtack.
@Stig79 before you start accusing people on the forums that they are liars, check if things that you talk about are correct. Please, let's keep these forums a cool place for all of us, after all e're here because we love games.
EDIT: changed NWN to IWD
