HDtracks. Actually the bulk of my high rez downloads were from Acoustic Sounds and they cut me off (a bunch of us off) by discontinuing offering downloads. There were high rez downloads available through Acoustic Sounds not available through HDtracks and in additional formats (e.g. DSD). ASs selection was vast.
Still not a happy camper about our pals in Kansas ditching downloads.

Agree. All their Analog Productions stuff including Nat King Cole (which I did buy) is not available anywhere now. I would imagine that once the system is set up and running, the money is easy. Guess it wasn’t.
They run a weird business in general. They ran an add in Stereophile looking for used records. I have a nice list of 70 that fit the profile perfectly. Sent them the well organized list three weeks ago and followed up 7 days later. They eventually responded by saying their employee is missing. Missing? Only one guy? Crickets since. The full page add can’t be cheap.
I won’t buy from any site that does this. It’s ridiculous. I’m not paying for the media I’m paying for the recording. They didn’t sell CDs by the number of pages in the booklet. If a label feels the recording is worth X then why do different number of bits of X cost more/less. Tell me what it was recorded in. Tell me what the final mastering / engineering produced. I’ll buy that and if I want something else I don’t need to pay the website to upsample it. It’s just ridiculous and, I find, it’s actually insulting to the artist. It says “we put more value on upsampling a file than what’s contained in the file”. No thanks.

I’ll take that as not buying downloads.
I love buying vinyl from bandcamp so I can also get lossless downloads. It’s my favorite!
