NEWS RELEASE 5/22/08 HDtracks.com, the new high-resolution digital music store founded by audiophile record label Chesky Records, today announced the limited availability of a free album download that encourages all listeners to "hear the HDtracks difference."
"The HDtracks Ultimate Download Experience," free to visitors to http://www.HDtracks.com who register with only an email address, offers eight spectacular audiophile-quality recordings across different genres, all hand-picked to prove just how great music downloads can sound. Those who download The Ultimate Download Experience will also receive a promotional code for 20% off their next HDtracks purchase.
HDtracks is unique among digital music stores for its combination of CD-quality music files unencumbered by digital rights management (DRM)*, the ability to download in any of three file types to match most playback devices, and a reliable, easy-to-use interface that makes browsing and downloading a pleasure. The site features thousands of artists representing 60 of the world's best independent record labels, and all albums are priced at $11.98 and come complete with PDF liner notes (a first among digital music sites). Tracks may be downloaded as CD-quality uncompressed AIFF files or lossless FLAC files, or MP3 files ripped at 320 kilobits-per-second (kbps)#8212;some 2#189;-times the rate of typical music-store downloads. Ultra-high-resolution 96kH z/24-bit downloads are planned as well.
"Musicians and sound engineers create incredible performances and amazing, lifelike recordings, only to have people download their work at 128 kbps from the popular music stores," said HDtracks co-founder David Chesky. "This completely destroys the nuance of the recording and often introduces audible distortion. Our free "Ultimate Download Experience" album should prove to listeners once-and-for all that they can hear the difference between a CD-quality or high bit-rate file and a conventional download, even on an iPod."

Nu händer det saker i nedladdningsvärlden!!!
Edit: Jag kunde inte logga in. Det hängde sig. På framsidan står det "At the moment HDtracks is only available in the U.S." Så vi i EU får nog stilla oss en stund till.
