What is the latest music you downloaded, what resolution and from where?

With more music being downloaded I thought it might be interesting to see what forum members are buying and from where.

The news that HD Tracks are soon to open an online UK store means that more choice is going to be available to us. The variety and quality of downloadable music we can choose from is expanding, MP3 to 24bit studio Masters at 192kHz and beyond.

So what are you buying and downloading?

Not so much about the album itself, which I realise is a bit out there by forum standards (though it is something of a return to form by the band as far as I can tell so far).

More to mention how pleased I was with how I got it. Highlighting good customer service is worth doing, I think. As a result of the music on special offer thread, I ended up browsing Mahler on Qobuz. I came across the BNF edition of Bruno Walter & the New York Philharmonic's performance of the 2nd symphony. Given the pedigree (Walter was apparently highly regarded by Mahler himself) and the fact that it was less than one pound fifty, I purchased it.

Once I'd downloaded it, I realised that it only had two tracks, and lots of the performance was missing. So I emailed Qobuz, saying explicitly that I didn't really want to complain given the price (and the fact that the album page does indeed show only two tracks, I just didn't notice), but that I just wanted to make sure they were aware so they could sort it out.

They replied to say sorry, and offered me a free album of my choice. I'd been checking this album out on Spotify, so I thought I'd ask if it'd be ok to get it. And hey presto, a free newly released full price 24/96 album simply for letting them know about an issue with a quid's worth of old recording.

Chuffed.
