Best way to purchase/download music?

Does Downloading HD Tracks also allow for transfer to iTunes? Keeping everything in Apple Lossless would be convenient for our iPhones, sharing, etc. I would obviously keep the original downloads....just like I keep cd's.

The one thing I really like about not buying cd's is I like buying one or two songs at a time and not the whole album

Very interesting John. You may have a valid point, because I don't have the same files in a lower resolution to compare.

My 96kHz files are all Jazz, and they are open and fairly involving for digital. I expect that from these recordings. They were very well recorded. My 192kHz files are old Rock classics, and even though I heard more detail than I remember from the past, they did sound somewhat flat and uninvolving. Hmmm. However, I credited the SQ to the recording and not the file resolution.

I will have to listen and compare apples with apples.

Thanks,
Kenny

i buy used CD's for the bang for the buck, either at the local music store or online through amazon. i've just started trying some high rez music from HD Tracks with very positive initial results. i also bought jriver to replace itunes, along with the JRemote app (which is a must) for my iphone/ipod touch/ipad. pretty happy so far, and am looking forward to investing in more HD Tracks soon.
