When I discovered that it was possible to buy and download drm free lossless flac-files i went back to buying music again. Never looked back tbh.
honestly, most of my CDs have been used once: Put in a PC and ripped (to 96kbps MP3s, of course!)
That bitrate seems low? I always thought 160-192kbps was the floor for a decent sounding rip, but it’s been over a decade since I’ve even had a CD so maybe things are different now
Yeah, that's low. I don't bother with anything below 320 kbps.
Where do you buy them from?
Qobuz. And sometimes bandcamp
Thanks
Dunno about the user you asked, but I've used Bandcamp for that.
Im gonna guess bandcamp?
Mostly Qobuz.
Oh, I thought that was only indie artists
