I have to agree ! As happy as I am to see a lossless download be made available since there isn't a CD, the price is OUTRAGEOUS. I just bought a new CD copy of Tyler's INTO THE STORM and paid 13.66 TOTAL and a lossless download is 20.98 ? It just makes no rational sense to me how a download would be so much more expensive than a physical copy CD. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE BUSINESS MODEL.
I agree. The prices of a 24 bit download don't make any sense. I could see $9.99 for lossless and $12.99 for 24 bit but there isn't that much of a difference in cost for the seller to make any sense this way. Even though it is true that often the 24 bit version has a better master I'd sooner just pass on most of these if the composer can't bother to master the CD properly.

Bandwidth and electricity cooling costs are often greater than CD storage costs. That's why it's more.
So this is a score I've been holding off on getting since 2014. I've been streaming it on Google Play to tie me over, but today I'm finally ready to get it and .... it was never released on CD? Not even any UK, German, French, Asian CD releases at all?
"I always want a CD release too but unfortunately that decision isn't up to me. But we did an extra careful job mastering this to make it sound awesome in this format"
Wait, He did what??? Did he mean an extra careful job of mastering it for CD just in case it was released or is he talking about the MP3 format? If its the later, does it make sense to buy a lossless download?

Just heard some of this on the telly and it sounded great. Is there any chance a limited edition CD release of the score might be coming from LLL or Intrada in the near future?
