I get high resolution downloads of live music from the Internet Archives. There's CD quality stuff here as well as high resolution stuff for those who, like me, want to give it a try without spending $20 or more for the same old titles of the same old music of the same old artists we've been buying for decades.
Granted there's not a great selection but I've managed to find more than 100 free high quality downloads from this site. These are actually live recordings and many of them sound pretty damn awesome. The good ones have less character than vinyl (ie. they are very raw and unprocessed) and lack the sameness of CDS.
If you've got an interest in high resolution at least check it out. I buy and/or attend concerts of artists who make this music available free of charge.

Got your .wav files. Usually I prefer a some chord changes and rhythm but I like your stuff. It would be great in an alarm clock with a sleep timer. Great stuff for nodding off. I called it ambient - my son corrected me calling it black ambient. If he says so - thanks!

So artists have to give you something free for you to throw them a few nickels?
Why do you carry on about the "same old" titles?
Maybe NOT everyone has your attitude. What others do with their cash is THEIR business.
The Internet Archive is absolutely great and I have been using it for ten years, but JUST like commercial releases, the recording quality varies, and quite frankly much of the music is esoteric.
"So artists have to give you something free for you to throw them a few nickels?"
No - but those who put their craft on display have better chance of getting them. And for me, new music is the number 1 priority, not purchasing the same old artists, same old titles and same old music.
"Why do you carry on about the "same old" titles?"
Whether I have a copy or six copies it's the same old titled. High resolution, remaster or whatever it sinks to the bottom of my must have list.
So is it any wonder I'm not too excited about high resolution digital downloads reissues - especially considering it's going to take some time for me, if ever, to buy all the remastered vinyl I want?
"Maybe NOT everyone has your attitude. What others do with their cash is THEIR business."
Duh. And this is a forum for me to express my opinion/attitude and I feel especially compelled to do so when guys like you anoint themselves cheerleaders for some marketing bandwagon.
