I just feel that since there is no item to manufacture, package, warehouse, distribute, ship, or stock, that the prices should be appreciably lower than purchasing a physical CD. If I am to pay close to the same price I want to have the physical CD. Am I being short-sighted, or do others feel the same? |

Linn records have studio master 24bit downloads, check it out;

There is a freeware program somewhere that lets you burn 24bit audio onto a DVD-Video disc (24bit audio is part of the DVD spec). I'll try and find it later and post it here.
