There are many web sites that will let you download music in mp3 format,
though not all show what bit rate the files are stored in.

Can anyone recommend any sites that have a large selection of music in a CD
quality format, such as WMA Lossless or FLAC 16/44.1

IIRC Chandos also do this. Although personally I prefer to just buy a CD.

Slainte,

Thanks, there is also Naim. It was the 'large selection' (of back catalogue
items) that I was looking for.

There was a Louis Armstrong record 'Satchmo plays King Oliver' that I have
been looking for.
It was originally an LP and then re-issued on CD I think with a few more
tracks.

The CD version out of print but someone is selling them on Amazon for $35
plus shipping, which is a bit more that I want to spend!

I could also download various MP3 versions but I am not sure of the quality.

With some effort I may be able to find the same tracks on other CDs.

Legal Sounds do many mp3s at 192K or higher - and it shows you
the sample rate per track before you commit.


And they are CHEAP!

Royalty fees going the wrong place unfortunately.

You may as well download stuff from torrents for all the good signing up
with that russian place.

Thought the 'powers that be' had cracked down on that!

Thanks I found the music that I was looking for on another web site.

I was in fact able to save a track about 700kb long. The file is .ra and I
can play it with Real Player and winamp (with an additional codec) but as
yet I have been unable to convert the file to a more useful format.

However unfortunately the music has clearly been taken from a some what
scratchy record.

Thanks, the lossless downloads don't cost much less than the CDs so I take
your point.

Yuk, that don't sound good. Er, Real audio, that really WON'T sound good.

Michael, please have a look at installing Spotify and trying it out for
yourself. If you need an invite to try the free* version just ask, I've
got a few to give.

*The free version is limited to 160 kbit/s Ogg Vorbis, but will easily
surpass what you have there.
