No offense taken. Even HDtracks sells upsampled CDs because that's
what the recording companies give them, and I complain to them when
they do that. That's why I check all that is supposed to be hi-res. I
don't have the HDD space for stuff that's not really hi-res.
Thanks for clarifying your sources and thanks for your posts.
