Enjoy the Music.com Offers MusicGiants Media Downloads

 (March 28, 2008) Internet website Enjoy the Music.com® and celebrated United States online media provider MusicGiants™ have teamed up to offer audiophiles high resolution lossless music downloads and high quality video. Over the years, Enjoy the Music.com has reviewed hundreds of digital music titles available on CD, DVD-Audio and SACD hard media formats. With media industries and consumers moving away from such formats and more towards digital downloads, Enjoy the Music.com's continual goal is to employ and partner with companies that provide technical assistance in delivering up to date media. Therefore, partnering with MusicGiants to deliver HD music to our critical readership is only natural because they also seek out the very best in high quality hardware and software.

Both companies benefit from this collaboration due to higher visibility within the audiophile community. MusicGiants offers standard HD songs at $1.29 each, with the average download price for a complete album for $15.29. Multi-disc albums are a few dollars more. Music is licensed from the four major recording labels including EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner Music Group, as well as several independent labels. New music is added virtually every day and MusicGiants offers a special Concierge Collection for those seeking to bulk buy a wide variety of music.

MusicGiants' new Super HD catalog, 96/24 lossless files rivaling the very best available today, consist of approximately 75 albums and will reach over 1000 in the near future. Super HD content will be both 2.0 (stereo) and 5.1 (surround sound) and will soon feature such popular artists as Fleetwood Mac, Frank Sinatra, and Elton John. Super HD 2.0 music varies from 3500 kbps and 6000 kbps, with Super HD 5.1 samples closer to 11,000 kbps. The large majority of MusicGiants Super HD is non-DRM and includes classical, jazz and blues music from recording labels Concord, Naxos, and Alligator to name a few. A Super HD Linn catalog is scheduled to be added in the next month or so.

"MusicGiants is very excited to partner with Enjoy the Music.com and we look forward to being part of their audio excellence with our high definition downloads," says Scott Bahneman, CEO of MusicGiants. "Their readers understand how important high quality sound is and they want the best music content to maximize their audio systems. We aim to deliver that ultimate entertainment experience."

 Steven R. Rochlin, editor of Enjoy the Music.com, says "As the Internet's largest Web site for high-performance consumer audio information and news, while also being online partners with print magazines The Absolute Sound, The Audiophile Voice and The $ensible Sound,  this new venture into offering online lossless music heralds in a new direction towards our continual expansion plans. With each passing year, millions of additional people access the Internet and can easily find information concerning high-end audio within Enjoy the Music.com. Today, our extensive readership can easily download lossless music via our partnership with MusicGiants instead of settling for other services that sell highly compressed lossy music files. Together, we are able to reach tens of millions of consumers who purchase music online each year."

Enjoy the Music.com Offers MusicGiants Media Downloads

Are you guys actually offering the downloads as your title suggests or are you just making a percentage of the sales when readers use your link to the music giants site?

Enjoy the Music.com has a 'store' on their servers to offer up music. It is more involved than just a Amazon program or Tire Rack like we currently have. BTW, will be offering someone a free music package... more details on that soon :)

I looked on their site and you have to buy the entire album for almost all of their HD downloads.  I like downloading just 1 or 2 individual songs from an album so having to purchase the entire album defeats the convenience of downloading, at least for me. You might as well go to the store and buy the CD, at least you'd have the physical disc on hand. So I doubt that I'll be purchasing much of their stuff, or at least from their HD catalog.

Are you sure about that? There's a check column on the right of an album for that simple purpose to buy individual songs. I don't see what the issue is?  :scratch:

I'm talking about the super HD downloads (look under browse, then super HD. Almost all of them are album buys only.  If they offer this type of quality (HD) they should also offer the convenience of purchasing single songs.
