Getting started
Getting started is easy.
Step 1: Choose your music
All titles in the Linn Records catalogue are available to download, even if a title is out of stock. You can download an entire album or particular tracks. If you are not sure where to start why not choose one of our top 3 download albums which are listed on the
home page.
Step 2: Choose your quality and file type
There are two types of high definition downloads that are compatible with a Sneaky Music DS.
Studio Master FLAC - If absolute sound quality is what you want then this file is best for you.
FLAC files are lossless at various high bit rates, for example, 48KHz, 88.2KHz and 96KHz (check each title for actual details). The quality is identical to that of an SACD (Stereo only). The format will be dependent on the actual recording method we used originally. No DSD files are offered as it is not possible to play them back on a PC so an equivalent PCM format is offered. These files offer true "studio quality" and are what was used by Linn to produce the production version of our CD releases. Be sure to check compatibility with your computer sound card etc before you download a file and note that large amounts of storage space are required for each track.
CD Quality FLAC - If CD sound quality is what you want then this file is best for you.
FLAC is a lossless format allows us to compress the music in a lossless manner ensuring that you get all the benefit of a full bandwidth audio performance, but with a file size that is around half that of a normal CD.
Step 3: Check you have made the right choice
We recommend that you download a testfile before you make a purchase. This will ensure you have chosen the correct quality and file type for your system.
Step 4: Completing your purchase
Now you are ready to go the checkout! When you have purchased your download(s) you will be given the option to 'Download Music'. Click on this link and your download(s) will be displayed. (Step by step instructions for how to add items to your shopping cart are given here.)
Step 5: Downloading your music onto your Sneaky Music DS
Clicking the download button will start the download and you will be asked where you want the music to be saved. You should select your music storage unit (further instructions are listed on your Sneaky Music DS CD-Rom guide).
Hint: If you click 'Show all available tracks... ' you will easily be able to download your tracks and artwork if you have a download manager.
