High Resolution Music

This list was published by Rolling Stone Magazine to 2004. In 2010 they published a revised list. What I have here is the original 2004 list. This was published on another site. The music was great -- everything is 320 CBR MP3's. But there was some room for improvement with the tags. I retagged the collection. I found a cool new graphic to serve as the album art which is shown above. I also added a playlist file, but you will need over 31 hours to play it all the way through. The new rar file has a 5% recovery record. I am not going to post a tracklist. But while the collection was in my tag editor I was able to sort on various tags and gather some interesting trivia about the collection. The earliest song is Rollin' Stone by Muddy Waters from 1948. And the latest song is Hey Ya! by Outkast from 2003. Only three songs from the current century made the list. Just eyeballing the list as sorted by years, it is clear the the 1960's are the decade with the most so

Richard Branson started this series in (Ireland +) The UK. That series is now in the Eighties and most (maybe all?) of them are double CD's. What I am sharing here is the US series. It started later, number 49 has only been out a few weeks. The US series is mostly single disc. Instead of nothing but hits, a fair number of tracks are from obscure artists trying to get started. The US discs have hits from a few months ago rather than current hits. And they often have radio edits where songs are edited for content to get past the FCC. Some DJ's love this and the radio edits often appear nowhere else. But many folks would prefer the unedited songs. Despite the shortcomings I really like this series. Be aware that in addition to the the UK and US versions, other countries also have their own versions. You may well have, for example, a Now 13 that is different from mine. I did as much research as I could to ensure that these really are the US versions. And I am sure tha

Rolling Stone Magazine published an article that selected the top 500 albums of all time. This is a collection of the first 100 albums on that list. These 100 albums are all 320 CBR MP3 files which is great for quality. However the price to be paid is that the collection is very large. Remember, this is 100 complete albums in 320 CBR format. You will need some time to download it all 001: 1967 - The Beatles - Sgt.

This is a blast from the very distant past. I'm in my 60's and this stuff is well before my time. So I am not expecting a real large audience for this material. My hope is that a few people will treasure it. This is a 20 volume set where each volume is a double CD which gives a total of 40 CD's. This is a lot of material. The CD's sound like they were sourced from vinyl discs. There are occasional pops and clicks. The fact that they have a vinyl sound will probably be a plus to anyone who grew up listening to this stuff. This set was posted in flac format with one large flac file (with cue file) per disc. I recoded it into individual MP3's (320 CBR's). I corrected a few tagging errors, generated playlist files for each disc and volume, and upgraded the artwork a bit. Here are the volumes... Volume 1. Frank Sinatra - I'll Be Seeing You Volume 2. Nat King Cole - It's Only A Paper Moon Volume 3. Perry Como - With A Song In My Heart Volum

This is one of the many Time-Life Sets and it has what seems like a rather generic series title. This set is focused on roughly the 1965 - 1975 era. There are 6 separate albums in this set. Each album has 2 CD's and each CD has exactly 15 tracks. That totals up to 180 tracks. I have tagged this as 6 separate 2 disk albums. This collection is all 320 CBR MP3's. I made a playlist file for each of the 6 albums. And there is a playlist for each disc.

This is a huge collection of music from the 50's and very early 60's. 600 songs altogether in 320 CBR MP3 format. There are 5 boxsets labeled as volumes 1 through 5. Then each boxset contains 5 CD's which are also labeled as volumes. This was how it organized when I got it. I'm grateful for all the work that the original upload team spent of this set. But there were some opportunities to retag the collection a bit more coherently. I ignored the boxes and treated the collection as a 25 volume set. Rather like this: So each disc is simply tagged with disc number from 1 to 25. The collection had been ripped by a team and there were several genres. I just called the whole collection "oldies". I have complete artwork but I can't find a clue as to the date. After some research I picked 1988 which seems to be the most commonly held opinion. My original plan was to simply present the collection to you as a 25 CD set. I had created a playlist for e
