What is the latest music you downloaded, what resolution and from where?
Posted by: Stevee_S on 13 January 2014
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?
Qobuz 16/44,1

"Dedicated To Connie" MP3
High Res Audio

This was a download at the time of purchase but this post was meant for the listening thread. My bad.

Funnily enough, I was that gig, and it was brilliant. I wasn't aware a recording was available - thanks for the heads up!

Thanks Gary I must give your two recommendations a go.

This is an instant classic, it completely draws you in, very intimate but with a gorgeous deep sound-stage. Brings Charlie Haden and Kenny Barron to mind, but these two younger masters have an their own sound.
24/96 one to one PCM copy of the master file.

Not worth a separate thread, but the estimable Denis A of this address persuaded me to create a fan account there so he could see what horrible electronic (mainly) crap. Was buying and I could nick (no pun intended) his splendid proggy ones.
The advantages of a fan account (there's no cost or hassle) is that you can feed off other fans selections - Bandcamp will recommend othe fans who buy similar stuff to you etc.
It's a fantastic way to empty your bank account, ough being Bandcamp it tends to be cheap (or free) and you know most of the money is going to the right people.
So, anyway, I'll show you mine, (if you promise not to laugh too much) and you can show us yours...
Logic Gate - From The Silence
More Berlin electronica, this time very mellow and packed with (fake) mellotron. It's available for whatever amount you choose to give, including free.

Thanks "Nick", as it happens I had just started to follow you on there a couple of hours ago! Quite some music you have downloaded. I will add Denis A as I do like prog. I will show you mine when I have figured out how to add the link in the way you have!
Took me forever! I find the forum so anti-intuitive
Write the the text, highlight IT, click the link icon and paste the url. I bolded and underlined my text to make it show.
Hyperion Record 24/44,1
High Res Audio
24/44.1
Downloaded this too with the download code that came with my blu-ray edition. Absolutely brilliant album. It's my favourite out of his solo albums. The other albums might have a better standout track but this is just a fantastic all the way through listen. I also feel that the story/concept behind the album also takes the musical experience to another level. The 5.1 surround mix is amazing too.
Now just need to figure out he best way to decrypt the disc to get the 24 bit track out and into my NAS.
Downloaded both of these albums in FLAC 16/44.1 and MP3 320 for $1 each. Seemed rude not to.
Qobuz 16/44,1
