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?

Recently bought Trio Remasterred by dolly linda and emmylou from  HD tracks 24/96.  Sounds superb.  The harmonies are just beguiling.

 

Also, from the same site, Macy Gray - Stripped 24/192 which has been a very pleasing purchase, wonderful life feel to it with fabulous acoustic bass running through it.  Highly recommended if you like the artist.

Two favourite artists of mine - especially in earlier years - none the less you inspired me to download in 96/24 wav files from Qobuz.. couldn't find it on CD

I don't think you will be disappointed  .  HD tracks seemed to have it a little before Qobuz it seems.  I tried Qobuz last week but it wasnt there.  HD Tracks have been promoting the release for months in email and i was genuinely getting excited as the release date came close. The HD discount code brings it close to Qobuz pricing but without this it remains an expensive source of music i find.  I will give it another listen tonight.  Hobo's Meditation and Telling Me Lies really impressed but the whole thing felt quite faultless to me.

It's a super album. I just have the CD, which is now ripped, and you've inspired me to play it later. 

My latest download is this, which I bought from Linn yesterday. I love Handel, and this looks really interesting; it's the ensemble's first foray into vocal work apparently. I shall give it a whirl soon.

Listened through - quite nice - I am not sure I will play a huge amount of times - agree some nice harmonies

Fool of Music (Compilation) by Markus Reuter

This is a free download so a good way to get to know his material if you are not familiar with his music in for example, Stick Men and Crimson ProjeKC to name just two.
