sesquipedality | Set the music free (Reply)

See, this is why copyright expiration is a good thing. These people will pay professional musicians to create public domain recordings of out of copyright music. And then the music really is free for anyone to enjoy. Doubtless some of the free software nerds at the back will be grumbling at the public domain thing, but I still think it's cool.

Rather than buy a classical CD of a loved piece, consider pledging the same amount of money to have it recorded for everyone.

Here's two I've pledged money for:

ETA 128Mbit MP3 though? I'm unimpressed. I've emailed them to see what's up with that.

ETA2 And a lightning fast response:

"Most of our recordings should be 256 to 320kbps. We don't offer lossless currently because most of our visitors would be really confused if we did, and we try to cater to the general public. You wouldn't believe the number of emails I get just asking how to download, youll notice a pop-up now "Please right click to download".

I do have plans to release FLAC versions, I want to wait until some of our partnerships are announced and we grow our library."
