I think maybe a good idea given where music is headed. will of course update and edit as things change, add to, etc..

Maybe a sentence about each (type/range of music, resolutions available, prices etc) would help?

I'll update the ones I know. Maybe one of those mod sorts can tidy it later;

Thanks TR, your appetite is immense :notworthy: , I'm convinced your days are about 50 hours long, weird but great for us mere mortals.

I'm still working through the RA gig list on the Fave Track thread , love the German gig (Blue Haus ??).

 

[bencat]

As always Teddy is nothing if not thorough and big thanks to him for these details .However as noted I have looked a some of these sites and like HDTracks they are for US purchase only so perhaps we can put a sticker or comment against those like this as we come across them and if there are any suggestions of how to by pass this problem then maybe someone can add that too .

Yah, Blau Haus is killer

Bandcamp is great. thanks.

Worth mentioning that the hyperion site has free tracks (even at 24bit FLAC) of their newest releases!

 

[kensalriser]

Blimey, all that and no mention of beatport! All forms of dance and electronic music, most available as wav.

well, thats because dance music sucks.

 

[iansr]

A separate list of hi res sites would be really useful.

 

[ncdrawl]

feel free to compile one.

 

[Chumpy]

Interesting topic/thread - thanks.

 

[slartibartfast]

http://www.murfie.com second hand shop with lossless download option

quite a lot of music and good prices

 

[Andrei]

Bookmarked!  Well done and thanks a heap Teddy.

 

[Chumpy]

 Enjoy max. perceived quality legally for best value ...

 Often, highest price/bandwith/bitrate-under-sideways-oversampling  etc etc does not let you hear - enjoy best audio-quality.

 

[milotmini731]

Definitely coming back to this list in the future. Looks pretty extensive! Thanks!

 

[henchard]

Bruce Springsteen makes all his shows available to download on line. The later ones are all available in High Res DSD
