Anyone got the WAV downloads yet?

Went to my account and found they are out of stock!

I have emailed Warner but just wondered if anyone else had anything yet. Glad I got the leaks!

RIP sad

I tried logging into my account having ordered CD's and digital download but it doesn't recognise my account! Utterly hopeless, wish I'd ordered on Amazon/iTunes instead as the WB site is now useless, and I don't have downloads for either album.

Is it even saying invalid when you enter the correct code? I'd email Warners.

Do a proper refresh of the page when you go back to enter the code.

It's lossless. If you burn it to CD it's the same quality as a CD.

EDIT: Actually even if you don't burn it to CD it's better quality.

If you buy budget CD-Rs, with no case, and a sharpie then it's not the same physical quality as an officially released CD.

biggrin

by the way, is there another method to burn them besides using winamp? my laptop wont take winamp, it slows it right down, even after i have re downloaded it.

It's lossless. If you burn it to CD it's the same quality as a CD.

The wav's are 24bit, so technically better than CD's 16bit, although they obviously get downsampled to 16 bit when burnt to an audio CD.

Just realised, my downloads are not due until the 30th. So it will be tomorrow. Hopefully they will have restocked by then.

Maybe they'll add some extra hard drives so that they can store all the copies for the American orders. lol

Im in Africa, a Brit abroad, but count myself as one of his 5 African fans so I hope they have secured enough space for the 5 of us as well. smile

Ah. In that case you'll probably get them in the post on several floppy discs.

I ordered them on August the 27th.

No sign of an email.

What was I thinking, to pre-order a digital download.

I'm glad I bought the CDs here in Australia last Friday.

(To convert them to flac I'll use : sox "in.wav" -b 16 -r 44.1k -G "out.flac"')
