I may bite the bullet and download an album/investigate it to see if it is a real lossless file or an upsampled version. No electron left behind. Link to comment

Wonder if they have them for any of the artists Will Ackerman (formerly the originator of Windham Hill) has been recording at his new studio (Imaginary Road Studios | Will Ackerman's Recording Studio)? I bought the CD of The Gathering at CD Baby, but never bothered to look for downloads. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Amazon had a used one for $120 (not kidding) and CD Baby claims to have a FLAC download for $15. I will probably just download it and see what happens. No electron left behind. Link to comment
Great Gig Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I have downloaded from there, admittedly not much (2 x Lizanne Knott albums) and experienced no problems at all.

Yeah, the asking price for out-of-print cd's can be silly. I was searching for the redbook cd version of Holy Other's "With U" the other day on Amazon. This 2011 release is out of print. One Amazon seller in California is asking $716, and a seller in Japan is asking $912. Tempting I know.....

Great Gig Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Do they sound like legit lossless? Yes they do, perfect playback so far to my ears. 16/44.1 FLAC are the files I downloaded. Bitrate varies between 557 and 889, JRiver reports the files as never having skipped during playback. They sound as good as my EAC (V1.0 beta 3) rips.

I have had excellent success purchasing used/like new Redbook from Amazon for around $5 each. The cost of a download would have to compete with that or be a Hi Res download for a competitive price.
