Customer hints - downloads

At Linn Records we are very lucky to have customers who are willing to take the time to feedback hints and shortcuts which we, in turn, can share with you.  Unfortunately we are unable to verify each hint that is passed on and listed here, but hopefully other people's experiences will prove helpful for you. 

If you have found a hint helpful (or not), you can email us.

  • "Having dowloaded high quality recordings from your website, and working on a Macintosh, I would like to let you know that the FLAC to Aiff converter xAct works perfectly on Intel Macs and is free." P Martiat
  • "I have a Macbook and am using the Cog player and the DownThemAll download manager (configured as an addon for Mozilla Firefox). I found both these products easy to download and get going. If you are a Mac user I would recommend DownThem All over iGetter which I couldn't work out how to use." M Lunt
  • "I find that on my Mac, Toast is able to burn an uncompressed 24-bit PCM DVD video soundtrack at 96 kHz from AIFF.   Results are excellent through my external DVD player,  sounding as good as the original FLAC files on the computer." B Hamlin
  • "DownThemAll is working out very well."  R Fischler
  • "It's possible to convert WMA Lossless files to Apple Lossless with a program from www.dbpoweramp.com The db poweramp music converter will do the trick. I've done it and it works! They also build a cd ripper that give 100% exact copies of the cd. Windows Media, iTunes and all the others will allow for errors and therefore do not make exact copies. I know, I've done the comparison." D Dahlgren 
  • "I found a way to burn a regular (redbook) audio CD from the downloaded studio master files.  Windows Media Player 11 just does it automatically. I just burned an audio CD using the same procedure I have used when burning an audio CD from downloaded CD quality files, and it appears that WMP 11 has downmixed them (presumably using the same logic that it uses to downmix for stereo playback on the PC). I did not need to change the default settings. The resulting audio CD works fine in my PC and in my CD player (though it did not create an HDCD)." R Stoks
  • "I'm using Mac OSX and the FLAC player I have found which works without any problems is Play.  It plays 88.2 and 96kHz files." D Shoukry
