Thanks! |

The Amazon mp3 store does. They now mostly use Lame 3.97 or 3.98.2 at -V 0 --vbr-new or --abr256 respectively. You may still come across some FhG encoded files (at 256kbps CBR). However, you are more than likely going to have a great deal of difficulty ABXing Fhg at 256kbps CBR due to the high bitrate. It has been a couple of months since I last purchased an FhG file or a Lame 3.93 file. Amazon used to have the following encoding settings (it seemed like it was random in their choice of setting):
Lame 3.93 at 256kbps CBR forced stereo Lame 3.97 at -V 0 --vbr-new joint stereo Lame 3.97 at -V 2 --vbr-new (I have one free sampler encoded at this) joint stereo Lame 3.97 at -V 2 --vbr-new -Y (I have one free sampler encoded at this) joint stereo Lame 3.98.2 at --abr256 joint stereo FhG (don't know which version) at 256kbps CBR forced sterreo Not it appears that they are using 3.97 at -V 0 --vbr-new or 3.98.2 at --abr256 as I haven't downloaded a 256kbps CBR file in a long time. The last album I purchased was Hatebreed - For The Lions and the songs were encoded at -V 0 --vbr-new with 3.97. |

Bleep used to sell LAME VBR but I think they have moved over to 320kbps MP3s + FLAC/WAV for the most part.

Emusic encodes MP3 using LAME. Not sure wich version, but i could check in the MP3 data.

LaLa music uses LAME, but I have found a small number of recordings that were not LAME encoded.

Beatport sells, among iTunes AAC and WAV files, LAME 3.97 MP3s (CBR 320, forced stereo)

I have been subscribed to eMusic for almost two years and I have been happy but there is some stuff they don't sell and I would like to get legally. -------------------- I'm the one in the picture, sitting on a giant cabbage in Mexico, circa 1978.

At least with Visa, Master Card and some others I think. I've ordered many CDs and a book from there.

Buying actual physical stuff from them has never been a problem in almost 10 years I've been a customer of theirs, even when having stuff sent to addresses other than the billing address. But I want to buy MP3s from them and they require a card issued in the US. I don't really see a point to this, but its their prerrogative. I still would like to buy MP3s from them, and what I asked was if someone knew of a way to do it without a US-issued credit card.

In my experience: Amazon, Beatport, Lala.com, eMusic, Napster. The problem is that encoding level/version isn't consistent throughout the entire library on any service (but all songs are V2 at the least).

The problem is that encoding level/version isn't consistent throughout the entire library on any service (but all songs are V2 at the least). I have been a subscriber to eMusic for two years. Up to last month, when they downgraded plans/increased costs, I had the 200 tracks a month plan, so I have downloaded a lot. I also have downloaded electronic music, metal, folk, blues, rock, classical, pretty much all styles of music from them, also from albums both old and new. Most of their encodes I have found to be 3.96 at V2, the earliest version I have found they have used is 3.92. I even downloaded a 160 CBR encode from them, although right now I can't seem to find it in my hard drive (perhaps I didn't like the music that much and deleted it  )Hope this helps. -------------------- I'm the one in the picture, sitting on a giant cabbage in Mexico, circa 1978.
