Lossless Downloads


Ok, so apparently i was mistaken in my understanding that you can now download songs from itunes in a lossless format. I would like to start buying my music digitally and in a lossless format...where should i start?

Thanks,
Scott

I haven't downloaded from them yet, but I hear that Music Giants (http://www.musicgiants.com) has quite a selection of high definition downloads. I'm sure there will be many other recommendations, too. These are exciting times to be a music listener, with online music beginning to show its tremendous potential.
Try HDtracks.

They have many labels available in Wav files with PDFs of the cover art.
iTunes does have a higher resolution format, but it is not available for their whole library. Look for "iTunes Plus" designation at the bottom of the selection description in the catalog. You can also select to view an "iTunes Plus" only version of the catalog on the iTunes Store home page.

These files are 256kbps versus 128 - about 10MB per song.

MusicGiants is another good choice.
In addition to HDtracks and MusicGiants you can also get lossless music from the following sources:
