Jane Siberry is offering most of her back catalog for free download, MP3 or AIFF, on her site her:

Some real nice stuff there.

Link not working for me.

[jimdgoulding]

I didn't try and download anything but the link took me to a site exclusively with her music.

Too bad flac files aren't offered.

 Oh well... I guess that this is a good way to decide if you like her work.

Thanks for the heads up.  I was always a bit surprised she never managed to achieve a higher profile - she's put out some very good stuff.

Too bad The Walking isn't available in AIFF though.

[Mike Nomad]

Downloaded the S/T: AIFF @ 1411 kbps/44.100 kHz (Redbook)

No Borders Here: MP3 @ 192kbps/44.100 kHz

I can live w/ Redbook. The MP3s, however... wish she had gone 320 kbps.

Update: Other MP3 only releases are @ 128 kbps. Sigh.

Thats a good opportunity to get their songs! 
I will convert the files to FLAC.

Thanks for the heads up... never listened to her stuff before.  Great chance to try it out.

Can you convert AIFF to FLAC?

Can you convert AIFF to FLAC?

Yes. But i don't see why one would bother. I'm just replaced as much as my ALAC files with AIFF as i could directly from the CDs.

Thanks for this thread.  Can I burn these files to a cd and listen using a regular cdp?

What is her music like? Any comparisons to known musicians?

Eclectic is the word that comes to mind as she tends to trip around the pop/folk/progressive landscape.  If you prefer jazz, start with "Maria".  If you lean more towards progressive/new age, try "When I was a Boy".  For more straight ahead pop, "Bound by the Beauty".

I enjoy her quirky musical style and sense of humor.  At least once or twice a record, she turns a phrase that has me laughing out loud or knocks me over with its profound insight.

I lost track of Jane after her name change thing a few years back... apparently she's back to plain old 'Jane'. A couple new ones I haven't heard... cool.

Hey, her album 'City' isn't there... must be copyright issues with that one.

Would highly recommend 'Child' from the NY Trilogy... a live Christmas concert. So save it for a few months. Xmas music that doesn't make me want to puke is rare, this is a real jewel. Just one song NSFW or maybe family (on a Xmas album!!!)

Thanks to Jane for making these available

"Bound By The Beauty," "When I Was A Boy" and "Maria" are still listened to regularly on my system. I have to admit I also lost touch when she changed her name and went to the strange marketing system. Already have her early work on cd. I don't do downloads but now have a reason to learn how to.
Russtafarian's take on the three albums is correct. I say get them all, you won't be disappointed.
Holy crap, you can get the three albums mentioned above for less than $2 (plus shipping) at Amazon. Throw in "The Walking" while your at it.
