Hi, I am from Ace Records. For those of you who don't know us, we are a UK based re-issue label specialising in predominantly american blues, soul, funk & Rock 'n' Roll from the 50s through to the early 80s. We have a huge catalogue and a reputation for high quality audio on CD. Whilst we are already selling digitally on iTunes etc and have 320kbps MP3s available from our own site, we are keen to explore making high definition tracks available from our site too. Rather than just jump into this, I thought it would be beneficial to ask people who live and breathe this stuff each day for their opinion. What I'd be interested to know is: a) Would you be interested in us making hd tracks available? b) What formats (wav vs flac etc) and bit rates etc would you be interested in? (Please be specific on your requirements) c) What suggestions do you have for how to get the word out to people who might be interested? Many thanks for anyone who would like to contribute. The bigger success this is the higher the chances of us doing more in this area. Thanks. Chris

Hi folks! Does anyone have experience with wav downloads from Juno? I bought couple of wav tunes from them and I am quite disappointed about the sound. First, I do not hear any difference between them and Mp3s (with Sennheiser IE8 earphones) and second - they sound awful compared to vinyl (my speakers are nothing fancy, but still quite good). Is my phone music palyer to blame for the bad sound or is there something wrong with the recordings? I will appreciate your ideas... Ivon
