16/44 FLAC downloads for new & popular titles

Ultimately, I would like for Amazon or Apple to offer full resolution downloads so I don't have to hunt and peck different sites. Sometimes a popular title simply isn't available anywhere online.

I want to be able to grab the latest releases from artists like Paul Simon, Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, Tom Petty, and so on. This isn't rocket science, it's just posting a slightly bigger file for download. Yes, I'll even pay a bit more.

It depends what type of music. Many artists offer flac downloads on their websites or link you to sites like Bandcamp that manage sales for them. More and more are giving the option for lossless formats. The sites listed in the previous post are going to be mostly audiophile type stuff but they are expanding fast. HDtracks has picked up quite a few labels the past year and now have more of a broader range.

Here are a few I got from a similar thread. I'm not sure they are all still active.
