Some of your new albums on page 66 are the same as on page 64. Did you buy them again?

Expensive compared to the price of the cd, paid only half of it.

Just downloaded Eva Cassidy Nightbird from Qobuz, a 20th Anniversary 2 CD set with the entire Blues Alley performance from 1996. Hope to get to listen to the whole thing this weekend!

I buy them with discount codes or on sale. So current prices are not what I paid. That said anything higher than 16/44 has a premium.

Just downloaded Eva Cassidy Nightbird from Qobuz, a 20th Anniversary 2 CD set with the entire Blues Alley performance from 1996. Hope to get to listen to the whole thing this weekend!

It's already available on TIDAL HiFi for subscribers, and it sounds superb streaming to a Bluesound Node 2 feeding its digital output to an external DAC!

What you mean? That I can't cheat to catch up to your buying rate??? If you had let my 8-CD purchase of Max Richter count as 8 CDs, I would not have to do this.

Seriously no, that is probably a mistake (will confirm when I get home). I recently found a reliable way to find my purchases and post them. Before that I was just randomly looking in my library and posting. The new system should avoid this. Then again, this music is so good that mentioning them twice to entice people to buy them should be perfectly fine.
