I bought a copy of Carina Round’s “Tigermending”
I bought a copy of Carina Round’s Tigermending album off her web store (http://goo.gl/txkuZ) today. The store offers:1) A choice of formats available, 320Kbps MP3, Apple Lossless, and Lossless FLAC (yeah baby!)
2) At USD10.89, probably cheaper than the cost of a CD locally (if it’s even possible to find it locally), and with lossless formats, you get the same bits.
3) No restrictions on buying based on your billing or IP address
4) Credit card, and also paypal accepted
5) Files available for download directly to my PC (I got a zip containing FLAC and .m4 files) … no need to fiddle with any proprietary apps or extract the tracks of a device.
6) Files all properly tagged (well except no embedded cover art).

Living in Malaysia where you frequently get “This content is not available for sale in your country” this was a dream experience. Another advantage of an artist NOT being on a major label.
Now if only the Things You Should Know EP was available in lossless formats as well.
