More Information on our MP3s

MP3 Format:
An mp3 is an audio file which has been compressed to reduce its size. Where possible, we encode our MP3 files using variable bit rates for optimal audio quality and file sizes, aiming at an average of 192 kbit/s. Using a variable bit rate allows us to allocate a higher bit rate to the more complex sections of music files while using a smaller bit rate for the less complex sections. For vintage material this produces sound of a similar quality to our CDs in a compact file size. As with the originals, the recordings remain in mono sound.

Obtaining your Download:
Once you have paid for your download, you will automatically be sent an email with instructions giving a link from which you can download your purchased album.
Just save the zip file in a convenient location on your computer. Remember where you have saved it. Then simply extract the files from the zip file.
Note: Links for the downloads remain active for 4 days from the date of the email or three downloads, whichever comes first.

Mp3 files:
These are standard mp3 files, and will play on any mp3 player - either a player installed on your computer, or a portable player like an iPod. Alternatively you can use a CD burning program to produce an audio CD which you can play on a normal CD player. To enable our longest albums to fit onto a CD, you should remove the default 2 second track gap in your CD burning application; this sets zero gaps between the tracks. Note that for convenience, full Albums will be downloaded as a zip file; simply unzip the file to recover the individual mp3 tracks.
