Very tempting (although it does seem to only be available in > 192kbps...would a flac rip of the vinyl be better? probably not!). If the CD of this album is out of print, then it is highly likely that the AllOfMP3 copy is a vinyl rip anyway, and potentially not a good one.
For example, I took the risk and bought Rick Wakeman's Criminal Record from AllOfMP3, hoping it had been sourced from the fairly rare (and expensive) Japanese CD. It turned out to be a pretty shoddy vinyl transfer - worse than the one I had already done from my own LP copy! -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28858 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
