A Hard Day's Night (Stereo 24 bits remaster) Beatles mp3

not sure, if the new ones I've posted are stereo as well.

p.s. if you're looking some other artists catalogue in 320 - please PM me I'll try to replace our current collection with a higher bitrate one... I've updated Scorpions, AC/DC, Metallica, e.t.c. few months ago.

Hi Pastor, Have you thought about flagging a dedicated 320 section on the site?

[pastor39]

um.. 10% of our database is in 320kbps. and 15% - in 256-319... I can tell you - I can't hear the difference between 256 and 320. So, i'm not sure it's a good idea to update from 256 to 320 at least in the near future.

And concerning flagging - I have no idea, how to do it the best way...
List artists with 320kbps albums only in a letter list? Show only 320kbps albums on an artist page? Set a filter on a search engine to show only 320kbps results? Or may be just a checkbox in your profile, so you can see only 320 kbps albums everywhere?

Hi Pastor, largely I agree with 256~320. My favourite file format is and always will be 256 VBR.

Concerning flagging. Mainly I search for artists or album names but sometimes I like to see what's available at a decent bit rate and something jumps off the page at me and I end up downloading something I never set out to buy.

I appreciate you have limited resources and making changes on the site takes money and time but it would be brilliant to have a flexible search function that allowed column sorting by:
Artist
Album
Release date
Date Added
Bitrate
Theoretically you could even add * to show the entire database and then sort as above, but what the heck it's easy for me as I don't have to manage a music store

Either way, mate, you've certainly got one of the better stores that I am always happy to recommend to friends - keep up the good work
