Download Formats and Tips

We offer downloads in two quality levels: CD Quality FLAC (16 bit 44.1kHz) and MP3 (256 kbps)

Which file type is right for you?

FLAC

If CD sound quality is what you want then this file is best for you.

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an uncompressed audio format. FLAC files provide a perfect digital copy of the music without any loss in quality. A FLAC audio file is much larger in size than an MP3 file so will take longer to download.

FLAC files require a special player. For more information on FLAC format and the various players available please visit the FLAC website

MP3

Our MP3s are encoded without DRM using the LAME encoder at a constant bitrate of 256 kbps

If the download speed of your internet connection is a concern, or if you have dial up, then this file is best for you.

This file type should work with all computer types and has widespread playback support.

Zip

The download files are copmressed into a Zip file. Most systems now include decompression software that will automatically unzip your download. if you don't have decompression software you can download Stuffit Expander for free for Windows and Mac OS
