Free song download from Music Giants and TONE...

Hey All:

Looks like we are going to be doing this with Music Giants on a regular.

Here is the first track from the Swedish band Dungens' new album
Dungen 4.

If you aren't familiar with Dungen, stop by our website and click on
the Spotlight section.  You can read a review of the album there and
click on the link if you are so inclined.  We have an exclusive with Music
Giants for a week to give all of our readers a free track.

Dungen is kind of a psychadelic band.  I would say if you like early
Pink Floyd mixed in with some heavy guitars and perhaps some Jefferson
Airplane and Greatful Dead, you're in the ballpark.

So check it out.  We'll have more of this going forward, so sooner or
later we'll probably have something you like!

Thanks again for reading,

mantisory

I'll call someone at Music Giants and find out.
Thanks for letting me know!

I am not sure, but probably something to do with copyright laws, as they pertain to high definition downloads. Here in Canada we had the introduction of bill c-61, which entailed draconian electronic copyright laws but died on the table when the election was called recently... funny enough it would probably pave the way for companies like musicgiants to distribute in Canada since the entertainment industry would have further 'protection' (yeah, right!) from piracy.

No, Apple only allows 256kb/sec.

That's not high res in my book.  The MusicGiants files are full CD quality (about 1400 kb/sec)

Or in anybody's book.  It's amazing how, after you lower the bar to 128k MP3, that marketing can convince the average consumer that a 192k or 256k download is high quality.  Frankly, I wouldn't even call 16/44 lossless wav or FLAC "hi-rez" just "regular rez".  To me hi-rez means something above 16/44.1 such as 24/48 thru 24/192, or SACD's 1 bit 2.8224 Mhz DSD resolutions.

Yeah, I have told the Music Giants people a couple of times that calling
CD quality downloads "HD" was misleading, but hey, it's not my company....
