Also, an increasing number of artists sell FLAC downloads from their own sites. A few I have purchased include 'Cowboy Junkies' (http://latentrecordings.com/cowboyjunkies/music/) and 'Bill Frisell' (http://www.billfrisell.com/artists/Frisell/store_link.html). I'm sure there are more.
Until recently the 'Womadshop' (http://womadshop.com/catalogue/music), associated with Peter Gabriel, had FLAC downloads, but a recent visit there showed only MP3 and Apple Lossless (ALAC). It is reasonably easy to convert ALAC to FLAC with no loss of data or fidelity, but it does rub me as a completely unnecessary annoyance. And for live shows, don't forget the extensive and _free_ catalog at the 'Live Music Archive' (http://www.archive.org/details/etree). The recording quality varies from studio quality to pretty awful (a FLAC of crap just means its pure crap), but there are some real gems in there. A couple of my favorites are Little Feat "studio concerts" from 1973. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84757 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
