Thanks for clearing that up! However I have a follow up question:
Is buying the audiophile edition the only way to get "good" wav files or can they be purchased as realtracks sets?



This is my understanding from a technical point of view.

The uncompressed wave files in the audiophile version take up LOTS of space...
so much space that downloading would put a 'much added' strain on the servers.

Therefore, ALL audiophile uncompressed wave files are ONLY available on disk
and they are delivered quickly in 1-2 days via the mail only.

And they must be signed for too, I might add.


Furthermore, to complicate things, this is my opinion and not that of PGMusic...

IF you have to pay for the audiophile version, you will not only have everything
that is available, but you won't be so quick to share files with others.

Here is the scenario... Friends a,b,&c get together and each purchase a separate
uncompressed audiophile *.wav set. They then share their sets (copy each others).
This now cuts PGMusic out of comissions had a,b,&c each purchased their own *.wav
audiophile versions. Therefore, PGMusic doesn't offer sets! (at least one reason)


I guess, other than honesty, there is no reason that either a, b, or c couldn't
make an audiophile purchase and share with their friends for a certain price.

However, let's get real here...


PGMusic has gone to 'deep' ends to bring you quality, and that quality HAS to be
paid for somehow! You cut PGMusic's $$$ by sharing and you cut your own throat.

And, seriously, the 2nd point is this... a lot of you would have to upgrade, or
purchase an additional external drive anyway, as the 'audiophile' versions ships
on a 750GB Harddrive... so where will you store those huge uncompressed .wav files?

You may think that PGMusic is making some kind of killing because of the difference
of $100 between the standard 'Everything you can get' pak and the 'audiophile' version,
but have you taken into account the cost of the larger harddrive and also the amount
of work they have saved you? They aren't making much off of the audiophile version imo.
