There are in fact no official names Historically, there was confusion as to whether the music was credited to NIN or [[Trent Reznor]] alone, but this was cleared up by id Software designer American McGee[https://www.quaddicted.com/interviews/americanmcgee] and by the 2020 edition. It is notable that this soundtrack contains [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_music ambient music], which Reznor went on to these explore further with the ''[[Ghosts]]'' series and various scores created with [[Atticus Ross]].

The packaging credited the music to Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, and listed [[Charlie Clouser]], [[Robin Finck]], [[Danny Lohner]], and [[Chris Vrenna]] as having been involved. The final, blank side of the vinyl is etched with program code from the game. A digital release was also made available on December 4, 2020. Reznor also posted the following tonin.com, which was later removed: <nowiki>*</nowiki>NOTE<br>WE DESIGNED THIS REISSUE TO INCLUDE A BOOKLET CONTAINING ESSAYS FROM ID SOFTWARE’S JOHN CARMACK AND AMERICAN MCGEE.

Several fan -created restorations of the booklet were created track listings, and some fans even organized limited print runs of the restored booklets. ==Alternate Track Titles==Until the 2020 release, the official names for the tracks were unknown, as they were untitled in the accompanying game literature.[http://nincatalog. com/items-with-official-tracks/quake-us-cd-1230/] They can also be were referred to by their track number, ; however, because the first audio track being placed on is the CD's second track (the first being reserved for the actual game data), this usually leads led to confusion.{| class=Alternatively, fan-made titles and game level names are often brought up when CD ripping/playing software looks up the information on the CDDB, and some of them ended up being the official titles.

==Trivia==
Reznor became involved as the result of mutual fandom between himself and developers at id Software. He was a big fan of ''Doom'' and had sent tickets and backstage passes to developers, expressing an interest in working on ''Quake''.[https://books.google.com/books?id=pw0EAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false]
 
[[Image:QuakeNailgunAmmo.jpg|thumb|right|Nailgun ammo.]]
A particular weapon in game play is the "nailgun" which can be reloaded by collecting ammo boxes decorated with the [[Logo History|NIN logo]]. Also, Reznor was the original choice for sound design on id Software's ''Doom 3'', but circumstances halted his involvement. Former NIN member Chris Vrenna composed the game's theme song.
 
The game's readme mentions something called [[Nothing Interactive]], an entity that has never been referred to on any other NIN or [[Nothing Records]] product.
