New York, NY (PRWEB) November 22, 2013
HDTracks, the leader and pioneer in high resolution audio downloads, today launched a newly refreshed website that gives the growing number of “audio-conscious” consumers an easy way to enjoy the very best possible listening experience, in 24-bit high resolution audio quality, from both iconic bands as well as many of today’s hottest new artists. Shoppers at HDTracks.com have instant access to music downloads in 24/96 and 24/192 bit/sampling rates for rich, impactful sound that harkens back to the era when music lovers cherished the experience of great-sounding vinyl record albums.
The new website features a refreshed interface with expanded download options, a streamlined check-out process, and greater customer engagement through online reviews.
HDTracks also announced the release of two of the most iconic albums in history in both 24/96 and 24/192 bit/sampling rates. The high resolution audio download of Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue which is being offered for the first time sourced from the original studio tapes and Muddy Waters’ best-selling blues classic Folk Singer.
As part of the release of Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue in 24/96 and 24/192, HDTracks has made available a new video short featuring recording engineer, Mark Wilder (Battery Studios), and producer, Steve Berkowitz (Sony Music) chronicling the famous recording session and the remastering in high resolution audio. HDTracks’ founders Norman and David Chesky were witnesses to the re-mastering session of this iconic release and appear on-screen.
Since the launch of HDTracks in 2007, the company’s business has grown by more than 100% for five consecutive years, a success that mirrors the explosive, double-digit growth of high-resolution digital downloads overall. This trend in better sound has created a new ecosystem among 25-35 year-olds who are pushing back against the degraded audio quality of lossy MP3s and are looking for a better, premium listening experience.
Noted David Chesky, co-founder of HDTracks.com: “When we launched HDTracks, our mission was to unleash the ‘800-pound gorilla’ that others in the download business literally refused to mention or sell to consumers – DRM-free CD and DVD-Audio quality downloads at the highest possible bit/sampling rates. When you hear our 24/96 or 24/192 files, it is like watching movies on the highest quality 4K 80-inch HDTV. The success of HDTracks.com proves that many of today’s digital music consumers are shouting from the rooftops: ‘I’m fed up with poor sound quality, and I’m not going to take it anymore!’”
