I have been downloading great concerts from Live Music Archive for quite some time -- some in High Res but haven't been very impressed with the sound quality. But I just recently noticed that some of these supposed high res downloads are actually MP3s. Apparently these are Orbis Vobis files, that are compressed. So I went back and was able to download one of my favorite shows in actual high res (Ryan Adams, Lugwigshafen, 10.15.06) -- and wow, great sound. This one had the option to "Download whole folder," which I used and it worked well. in looking over other downloads on this site, many other high res downloads don't have the "Download Whole Folder" option and just allow downloading an OGG Vorbis compressed version. But they do also list individual flac24 files. Can anyone tell me how to get a high res download in such cases? When I click on the individual song fac24s, it opens in Quicktime, and seems to be just for streaming. I would think there would be an easy way to download entire folders on the Live Music Archive site -- I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And check out the Ryan Adams Ludwigshafen 24 bit download if you're at all interested in his music (great songs, great band, great recording)!

Thanks guys. I think I'm getting a clearer sense of how the various pieces fit together. Just so I'm clear, SBserver will always be sending music to my Touch? This might be a bit offthread, but any suggestions on ways to make the the SBserver produce better sound? I've got mine running through a PS Audio DAC III, and it sounds very good, but my Linn Akurate cd player still sounds better on redbook cds than the Touch/PSaudio does on hi rez stuff. I was hoping to take it up a notch if possible. Cheers,

Can Pure Music be used with a Squeezebox Touch used for wireless streaming from an iMac? I downloaded the PM software, and it's a clear improvement over iTunes when played on my computer itself (through the stock iMac built-in speakers). But as far as I can tell, it's not being used when music is sent to my Touch and then into my main system. I've read conflicting reports as to whether PM will work with a Touch. Are there some settings I need to change to make this happen? I'm a newbie (but learning) so any advice will be greatly appreciated.
