Free 24 bit sample tracks from Linn until Christmas

Thanks for the heads up Claus

Shame it doesn't seem to actually d/l a track for me, I get the purchase order etc but no track.

Thanks Claus, I'll give it a try in a minute, Linn usually do something like this around Christmas time, not usually my kind of music to be honest, but being how hard it is to find 24bit at the moment it really isn't to be sniffed at and it usually makes good demo material anyway 

Keep trying!  It worked for me and I had to create an account.

Thank you Claus - Happy Christmas

When you finally get to the receit part of the order and you believe that the download should start, you have to use the download music linkfirst,  where you can see available  downloads and previous purchases.

Anoying and it seems to be a system both Naim, Linn and maybe even society of sound are using. 

It is understandable that they really want people to use the flash download application if possible.

Claus

Thanks Claus , that was really time consuming. Got there in the end I'll have a listen tomorrow.

Hello Claus,

Thank you very much for this information. I am slowly adding more high rez samples and these will be a nice addition.

Today's "Symphonie Fantastique - IV Marche au supplice from Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique" is available in 192/24 flac

Claus,

thanks, just downloaded. I'll have to find a way to replay it since iTunes doesn't play FLAC, but it's interesting material.

good PR for linn. if you mess up with downloads they reset them at a instant

Use XLD to do the conversion to AIFF.

They offer an ALAC file at the same res. as the flac file.

Just downloaded. The playing is very colourful and dynamic! I think Linn has achieved their goal.....lure me into buying this album.

Similar here, very good recordings

I've purchased the 192/24 version of this recording recently, and it really is fantastic, both sonically and the interpretation.

If this is the future of music I'll pass. I haven't managed to download any bloody thing without a huge amount of hassle. Life's to short for this crap.

Gotta say I agree with you Howard. From what I can see, the Streaming Forum just seems to be a list of niggles, hassles, missing artwork, problems, questions and software updates.

Much easier, and more fun, to just stick a record on.

The way I see it a few mouse clicks, and I am listening to music of exceptional clarity. No need to be there to stop the turntable and lift the tone arm at the end.

Though I would agree that the LInn web site does require rather a lot of clicks for a free offer. 

I've downloaded each day's file without a hitch . . . all the way across The Pond.

We are simply "buying" the downloads, for free.  I just click "download" and they appear on my computer.

The only hassle I might have is tagging the files so that they appear as one album, not a separate album for each Artist.

yes, I now hope for some Jazz or similar. Classic is not really my music.

Bart

What approach are you taking for this?  

Thanks

Richard

Richard so far the only way I know to do it is to leave the Artist field blank.  Because if I have 10 tracks, each with a different artist but the same album name, I nevertheless get 10 albums showing up in nStream.

I do like to know who's performing, but I just put that into the Title field along with the title of the track.  If there is a more elegant solution I'd love to know of it.

Hi Bart

I don’t use n-stream so I don’t know how that works, but if you put all the tracks into an album folder (I called mine ‘Linn - Christmas 2012') then change the ‘Album’ tag to your chosen name, surely that will keep all tracks together won’t it? The artist is then shown and changes from track to track – or is there more to it using n-stream? Do you have any other albums with various artists; do they have the same issue?

I am interested because I believe you have a U-Serve and I have recently become more interested in using a server solution but would not appreciate the behaviour you describe.  

Regards

Peter

Peter that hasn't worked for other albums with multiple artists -- either I'm doing something wrong, or nStream doesn't work as we both think it should!  Same album name + multiple artists = multiple listings of the same album in nStream.

Thank you Bart, if I go further looking at a server this is something I will have to look at very carefully.

Peter
