OT: Bands offering lossless downloads
I recently discovered a new musician named Gotye. He sounds like they cloned a new being with the DNA of Sting and Peter Gabriel. His music is really good and sounds really good playing through my Tang Bands.
I decided to buy 2 of his albums yesterday, so I went to his website to see what my options were. I like to buy directly from the artists so I can cut out the middlemen in the music supply chain. Much to my surprise and pleasure, he offered one of the albums in 24bit 44.1kHz WAV format. It sounds great and the album is really good.
Here is the really cool part (to me anyway). I got an email this morning with my receipt and a message from the artist.
Hey there you higher resolution person!
Thanks for supporting my music, and the proliferation of better quality digital audio formats.
I hope you enjoy Making Mirrors at this resolution. 24bit 44.1kHz is the spec at which I recorded, mixed and mastered the album (with a few detours through analog desks and tape machines along the way, during which I operated at 24bit 96kHz for digital-analog-digital transfers)
Cheers
Wally
I think it is great seeing more musicians supporting high resolution, lossless audio downloads. I have seen a few others offer lossless downloads as well. This is just the first one to actually thank me for supporting it.
Check out a couple of his songs here and here and give him some more support if you like them.

The last Nine Inch Nails albums were available as 128k AAC, 320k MP3, FLAC and 24/96 WAV. I think the "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" soundtrack was, as well. I would assume it's Trent's plan going forward.

Interesting, thanks for the post... Old NIN fan here but haven't heard this one--for free, why not. If I really like it I can go to B&N and buy it... OK, maybe not.

HDTracks has a pretty good selection, though not a lot f mainstream stuff, but very high quality.
Break in period = The time it takes for the new speakers to break in. And the time it takes for you ears to get adjusted to the new speakers.

You have no f**king idea, man, lol. There's only 2 things you can do in Alaska during the winter if you're not insane enough to do whatever outside - drink and f**k and I'm on standby this weekend or else I'd be drunk, and my bronco's dead, so I'm not doing anything else either haha.
