Re: Vinyl + Digital Downloads - Why Not Lossless Digital Audio?

I agree that the bitrate should be up a little higher, perhaps 320Kb/s MP3 or Ogg file format. I doubt that they will post in .FLAC, .WAV or any other lossless format due to the massive bandwidth they would have pay for in order to allow 'free' download of thousands of gigabytes of data daily. That would run several hundred dollars a month in bandwidth - enough to make the bean-counters weep...
