downloads suck!!!!!

I’m old school. I burn them to CD to listen. But really—who cares? I’d rather listen to a download then not hear the music at all. What’s the point in drawing a line in the sand and refusing to listen to music you know otherwise interests you based solely on the format?

For me the bottom line is quality. I'd rather a flac in hi-fidelity than vinyl in lo-fidelity. What is the fidelity like?

Digital is digital, whether it's a CD, a download, or a vinyl pressing made from a digital master. The only format worth owning in physical format is analog mastered vinyl. Analog tapes sound good but are a pain to use.

The files are offered as both Flacs and mp3s. They sound more than good to my ears.

Some analog-master-sourced SACDs sound pretty nice if the name "Kevin Gray" is associated with them. Otherwise...yeah.

I think the digital format itself is not necessarily the problem. It's the low quality of the circuitry and connections that are used in most digital recording equipment and systems. Open up any digital system and you'll find the equivalent of low grade printed computer circuitry. Carefully made digital recordings can be excellent. It's just that they are very uncommon, and you generally need custom modified equipment for recording, manufacture and playback.

Haha! My hearing is bad as well at high frequencies. But normal high frequency hearing loss due to age makes little difference to your ability to discern and appreciate high quality audio. Most of the beauty and subtlety found in recorded music is in the midrange. As long as it sounds real, that's all that really counts.

If the vocals and drums sound "real" then that rest is gravy. This, of course, does not apply to Joe Meek productions!
