| 1330903 | 2013-03-02 21:03:00 | hdtracks.com http://www.linnrecords.com/ Yes HDTracks has a reasonable variety of music and looks promising. Linnrecords is a little less mainstream but will come in handy at times. Thank you |

| 1330905 | 2013-03-02 23:59:00 | Itunes is NOT lossless. Whats the legality of buying an album of Itunes and downloading a flac version from an evil website? That's a very good point. If the misc industry want to sell us online music then it has to be good quality. Mp3s are OK for in ipods etc. But not in a lounge with a good stereo! So they wonder why peple keep priating! |

| 1330906 | 2013-03-03 00:06:00 | I've never seen a legitimate store offering lossless digital music for sale. I think the record companies are behind it and don't really wan't full quality digital copies available for sale over the net.\ Contrary to popular belief the record companies are not stupid. They know that once they release FLAC music files for sale, that people will copy and share them all over the internet. So instead of selling millions of copies, they will only sell thousands of copies. People will copy and pirate stuff whenever they can save a few dollars. Steve Jobs made out he made made great breakthrough with the record companies and bought good music to the world, whereas it was really crappy old 192 bit rate mp3s. |

| 1330907 | 2013-03-03 00:25:00 | Another place in NZ that you can legally buy/download from is Marbecks ( previously Digarama) Its the same as iTunes quality - 256kbps- without any ITunes software - straight downloads, after you pay for it of course ;) Their Site: http://www.marbecksdigital.co.nz/ Wonder how long that will survive after they close their stores this month.. |

Like it or not, without apple digital content would be set back further then what it is already. |

| 1330910 | 2013-03-03 03:16:00 | I still buy CD's. I like CD's, I like having the physical product, I like the artwork, the CD liners etc etc. And a big CD collection still looks good on a shelving unit in my HT room. I am now contemplating buying all of my CD's through Amazon, I'm happy to wait for delivery, and a wide range of genres, artists, eras etc can be had for as little as 99p on amazon.co.uk. Even at 4-5 quid for a CD from Amazon then adding shipping cost, would relate to about the same cost as 6-8 lossy digital downloads. Plus you end up with the original disc in case you want to rip everything to different formats in the future. |
