Sebastian Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Yes. Loads of new soul/house/(any genre really) indie releases only gets released as MP3s. Or preferably as high quality WAV or FLAC. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Russ Vickers Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Try going onto the Essential Modern Soul Forum for recommendations..........also there are a lot of unsigned artists out there who use the WWW to get there products heard, these can be truly exclusive. I dont mind Mp3's, but i must admit, theres nothing like being able to hold something & touch it as well as hear it, also i kinda like the sleeve notes & photos etc, you get with vinyl & CD's. Hope this helps Russ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Larry Semmins Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) Jeff Ramsey debut set out now as download and Fish has it as a CD could be album of the year I.M.O. even better than that! Neil Thomo's mix of Mario Biondi/ SOS Band " This is the Finest" due as a 12" as Well a 200 run of DJ only 12s playing this constantly at the mo' could be a monster this just love it.

Just out of curiosity why not an iPod , it's only a more efficient storage facility than a cdr ... No ? 2 jack to phono cables and off ya pop Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

phillyDaveG Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Don't forget CDBaby. They now do most of their albums as downloads, and many single tracks too. Probably a better bet if you are more soul orientated than House/garage. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
