Just bought a new Fiio X3 to enjoy my music, and I've been busy ripping everything to FLAC files. Happy with the results. I follow Chick Corea on line, and he just released a new solo album. I've owned and listen to plenty of his stuff, so don't know if I would buy more.
 
An MP3 download of the album is 10 bucks.
 
 
If you want the so-called "HD" download (they mean lossless) it's $25 for the download. So we're paying for a higher quality codec, produced by different software. I don't see how the markup is justified.

It isn't justified man. They offer the higher quality file at such a high price because they know that the people who really care about the quality will pay it.

ding ding ding, there's a definitive demand for it. So they offer a fairly "limited" supply at a higher price
 
and I meant he supply is limited, in that the vendors who are selling it, are ofc marking it up.
