    Drives me nuts. I'd be happy to pay for a 16/44.1 copy so I don't have rip and store the damn CD, but I absolutely don't want up-sampled nonsense (even if it were cheaper).

    I agree. HDTracks should just rebrand as LosslessTracks and stop the bullshit marketing and digitally manipulating the music and customers.

    Properly done resampling (especially when upward) should really not effect things too much but it is dumb. Just give the source. I wonder if they made the 24/48 for a DVD-Audio release.

    Hard to say, but it's not going to improve anything either ... nor is it anything that I can't do myself if I want it, so I'd rather they leave it alone.

    As ever, when this shit crops up, I just order the CDs, rip them, bitch while doing it (which is more about having to store more physical crap), and then move on ... ;)
