where to find high resolution music downloads that is recent, and "popular" if that makes sense

 So I've been looking for high-res music that I would listen to on a daily basis.

sure there is the rehashed Miles Davis, archived to high res from tape, however that era is over. Anything recent and pop so to speak?

Looking for let's say Heavy Metal, Hip Hop (rap), and electronic music.

Seems no one cares :(

I've been upsampling a lot of music, but it is not the same as a real high resolution recording.

 it requires adobe air download manager which I can't work on my chromebook

I'll be up all night now installing a copy of windows on a VM machine, and on top of it I tried to install adobe air on linux machine I had and it got hacked because I was dumb enough to search for an easy script to install it... so I just had to wipe it and reinstall linux... :(

ugh...

seems cool though if it would just give me a frigging link instead of needing b.s. download managers.

 not a big deal, I am installing windows 8,1 on a virtual machine, I had to wipe my ubuntu machine, re-install ubuntu, and install windows inside ubuntu.... I'll hopefully have the album downloaded by midnight and enjoy it tonight. I saw someone mention pono, I saw pro studio masters have high resolution albums from Relapse records, a favorite all time record label of mine, $18 for 24 bit 192 FLAC not bad. I just have to square aware some software issues and take some pain for being a software rebel and not going with the herd when it comes to computers :)

 

thanks for letting me know about Pro Studio Masters man, posted on June 25, 2016 at 21:14:37

 Very cool, I whip out the credit card again soon...

I saw they also got Blue Note in HD ;)

How much damn Ravi Shankar's daughter can you stand in HD :)

 

Got it! nt, posted on June 26, 2016 at 12:02:31

 If you like Anoushka Shankar, then check her out teamed up with Thievery Corporation. Superb. Discovered it on my recent Sonos Connect binge.

I also suggest Pono. They have plenty of new music releases in hi res. Yes even Unleash the Archers type stuff. New music in hi res is coming out a lot faster than classics which has been at a steady trickle.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!

 

Thanks for the sister Shankar recommendation, posted on June 30, 2016 at 19:29:28

 Also good to see sitar still around, I meant her sister Norah, however I've heard her so many times Anoushka is always good for a nice change. I usually listen to Ravi when I order Indian food delivered :)

I checked out that on Tidal. Not exactly high res but at least CD quality.

I have a Daphile Linux server setup and mapped to my Auralic Aries now for HD. Good to hear Pono has higher than CD quality as well. We need more of this, once you hear a good high resolution album it is hard to go backwards. Would be better if all this can stream but I will deal with the cards that were dealt for now which are downloads.
