I encourage everyone considering Tom's new album to purchases a version that includes the higher resolution download. The 24/48 version has little or no dynamic range compression and sounds pretty good. Plus purchasing this album is a wonderful way to tell everyone from the artists to the producers and engineers that we care about better quality and are willing to spend money to obtain this quality.

The new album Mojo, when purchased as a Blu-ray Disc or Vinyl record, includes a code that unlocks access to the 24 bit / 48 kHz download. The physical Blu-ray Disc contains audio only and offers the exact same 24/48 resolution available as a FLAC download. The download is stereo only while the physical disc contains a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound version in addition to the stereo version. I ordered the Blu-ray version directly from Tom Petty's website and received it in about one week. Below are screenshots of the download experience. Notice on the "What is FLAC" page the CA recommendation toward the bottom of the page. In addition to purchasing the disc from <a href="http://tompetty.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wo/0.13.9.1.9.2.1">Tom's website</a> I also sent a message via the contact form expressing my gratitude for recommending Computer Audiophile and the fact Tom is offering higher resolution downloads. If you feel the same head over to the <a href="http://mojo.warnerreprise.com/contact">Tom Petty Contact form</a> to drop them a note.
