Where to buy and download lossless files?

[ericinboston]

Hi everyone. I've looked through this forum and didn't see my question:

I noticed iTunes now sells a lot of Janet Jackson remix albums and singles. However, they are not lossless. I would like to purchase them as FLAC or WAV elsewhere but do not know what sites are legit and also what sites are too expensive.

Can you recommend any sites?

Thank you!

Try here:

HDtracks
7digital
HIGHRESAUDIO
ProStudioMasters

I guess HDtracks and 7digital are more suited for the artist you're looking for.

What makes you think they aren't lossless? The streaming service shows a couple albums of hers are that I looked up. The iTunes store doesn't flat out say they are, but my understanding is Apple will serve up lossless if your settings in the Music app are set to download lossless.

Not trying to discourage you from looking elsewhere, mind you. I'd rather support some of their competition to be honest when it makes sense to.

EDIT: well nevermind me. Apparently lossless does only apply to the subscription service. Thus justifying my stance to support the competition.

Bandcamp is my favorite place to download lossless files. Lots of different formats, very generous to the artists.

But you won't find much legacy catalog or new major-label stuff there, it's mostly indie labels and unsigned artists.

Qobuz premium will let you do that. End of search lol
