I came across the delightful article in B&W's site about the new opportunity to download music in audiophile audio quality.

The UK's B&W Music Club offers a one-album-per-month subscription service with music chosen and recorded by the artist Peter Gabriel.

The artist says on a video interview (viewable at the B&W's site) that now we download music which is supercompressed and we loose most of the quality of the sound. The alternative, he points out, is to download uncompressed files from the Web.

The album file format is either Apple Lossless (16 bit) or FLAC (16 & 24 bit), which means that the music is identical in quality to the original recorded in studio.

Turntables audio is still the best you can hear and it would be great if instead of listening to this music from your computer or a CD, you could burn a vinyl record.

But you will prefer to hear your audio loudspeakers playing this music instead of the MP3 usually download from internet.

Because of the diffused high speed of our internet connections, we can now download high resolution files in relatively short time.
