less free space on your hard drive.
At least with HDTT I can buy a DVD-Audio and have something to hold in my old, wrinkled hands.
And for just $9.00 per disk.

I just clutch my tablet--which features the "on-air" album cover. I can pick whichever iteration of the Lp cover that I want.
But it doesn't smell like an lp cover.
PS: if I press the little "x" I get any and all info about that particular recording available on the web.

We should always be careful concerning our attraction to the aroma of LP covers (and to the aroma of LP's themselves!), for such attractions could reduce us to a world of pagan sensuousness!
And I will pull the trigger.
Marantz DV-9600 silver disk spinner turns out the be a really decent DVD-A player so I'm OK without the download.
Now through Nov. 28.
With regard to transfer quality, so far I've only listened to the Bruckner and it's fabulous. As a performance, it's your call.
Your purchase list includes the very first CD I ever owned or heard (not counting CDs played over the radio), the Bernstein/Gershwin on DG. Assuming yours is the same recording, I wonder how it sounds, and whether it was ever remastered. A classic performance-wise, but also a classic example of the bad digital sound of many early 80s CDs.
Edit: Actually, yours looks like Bernstein's earlier Rhapsody on Columbia which is paired with An American In Paris, since the later DG one is paired with the West Side Story Symphonic Variations. Another good choice.

which I originally owned via "Gershwin's Greatest Hits" lp.
I have known this performance for a VERY long time, and to me as well, it seems that Lenny completely nails it.
.
is what sounds like air conditioning turning on part way through the Columbia "Rhapsody." No matter...still a fun performance.

The Karajan Sibelius 4th is fantastic as well. Man, commercial reel to reels could be pretty damn good.
