Lossless Archive...Other Thoughts

• If you're a Fleetwood Mac fan, you may have purchased their album Rumours four times already...right? The first purchase was on vinyl, then on 8 track, cassette and finally on CD. Don't buy it again, or any other CD you already own...transcode it to the next, new format, and stay ahead of technologies curve.
• Cell phones and handheld game players are allowing you to make your music even more portable. Use your Lossless Archive and transcode your music to a format that these devices can use.
• Experiment with other current formats like AAC or Ogg Vorbis and see how they sound to you...transcode it and try it.
• Media servers generally have the capability to play FLAC or Window's WMA lossless files and occasionally Apple's Lossless ALE. The limitations of file size inherent in a portable digital player are not a problem with these servers so it then becomes all about the sound quality. Your lossless archived library has perfect CD quality sound.

Archiving is an optional service selected during checkout. We have to charge a little more for the lossless archiving service because it just takes a heck of a lot longer and uses A LOT more physical resources. If you allow us to be so bold as to nudge you as a friend would and offer up the perspective of looking LONG term at this decision...be prepared for the future of digital music and Archive it. You'll be happy you did.
