Can someone help on how to download WAV or FLAC files from I Tunes?
  I use HDTRacks, Linn etc. for HI Rez downloads and there are settings on those sights for WAV, AIFF and  others but I can't find settings for this on I Tunes. I would like to download CD quality music from I Tunes but not in MP3 format.
    Any help will be appreciated.

John, iTunes does not offer cd quality in their downloads, only lossy AAC.  I will move this, regardless (cd or lossy) from the HiRez Circle to the discless Circle for more discussion.

       Thanks Ted. I guess that answers my question.
    Do you or anyone out there know of sights other than HDTracks that do offer CD quality downloads? If not, I guess I can just buy CDs and rip them to my hard drives for play on my BDP1, although I'd rather not have any more physical discs.

Try Rhino Music Digital Downloads. There is no high res but plenty of CD quality downloads available.

It's really a shame that Apple just doesn't get it.

There is so much I would download from iTunes if only I could get lossless.  Instead my money goes to bestbuy or amazon for CD's, which is both a waste environmentally and inconvenient.  More and more purchased on hdtracks, but the selection is still so limited.
