Hi Roger OK, we need a service where we can legally download FLAC audio music, rather than the compressed stuff that you get from iTunes, Napster and that kind of site. We think we’ve just found one actually, and Lynne is creating an account. It is a massive provider supposedly the biggest in the world. They have 24-bit and HD music as well. Looking at their index there are literally thousands of artists so it looks promising.
I’ll let you know how Lynne gets on, but it might be exactly what we need.
