Music Lane

Posted by VladimirFreddie (A) on June 29, 2009 at 19:37:29

Anybody have a favourite site or two to buy & download lossless music online?

I already know of www.linnrecords.com, www.naimlabel.com, www.gimell.com and Deutsche Grammphon, but because I live in Australia I can't use MusicGiants or HDTracks.

I'm looking for Jazz & Classical and my options seemed to be limited!

Thanks in advance :)







Regards,
Vlad.

  You might try www.pristineclassical.com for vintage classical performances. Some of their Lp and reel-to-reel transfers are quite good.

      perhaps not what you had in mind as they're derived from old vinyl recordings and so largely contain what you'd expect though I still find some interesting and have grabbed The Chausson Concert in D Opus 21 and the Quartet from Toronto..
      
      and along those lines though from argueably cleaner sources is High Definition Tape Transfers though again I have not investigated their accesability to Australia.

        It's certainly worth looking into :)

    I can't get anything to work at HD tracks. I click to hear a sample and nothing happens. No music, no errors, nothing. I've emailed them but no response.

    Thanks.. Yes I have googled it & its a bit frustrating not being able to use sites because of my location.
    
    As I said in my original email I'm in Australia. HD Tracks & Chesky are limited to the USA - as far as I'm aware :)

        At least you were trying to help - thanks.
        
        Not sure how they can be regulated that way either - or why [sob]
        
        I suppose it has to do with the distribution of actual disks elsewhere in the world?
        
        Happy listening - I'm jealous!

            That site looks promising - they even have some 24bit 192Khz \
            Thanks a lot :)
