Hooray, another contest

1. Have you purchased 24bit music in the past?

No.

2. If so, what are the sources you have purchased from?

N/A

3. Are you willing to pay more for higher quality audio?

It depends on a number of things:
1) Can I actually hear the difference?
2) How much more money are we talking?

4. When purchasing music online, do you prefer a subscription or a pay per track/album model?

I'm not fond of subscription based models, I like to own things and do what I want with them. I buy albums - 99.999% of my purchases are cds. I only buy flac if there isn't a cd available.

Contest Questions:

1. Have you purchased 24bit music in the past?
   Yes about a dozen albums.
   
2. If so, what are the sources you have purchased from?
   HDTracks
   
3. Are you willing to pay more for higher quality audio?
   More than CD yes, more than HDTracks? Probably not. Since it's not burnable to CD what would be nice is a way to redownload a $500-1000 music collection should disaster strike.
   
4. When purchasing music online, do you prefer a subscription or a pay per track/album model?
   I'm not sure, it would depend on pricing and I suspect that a subscription would get expensive.

HDTracks,
Are you willing to pay more for higher quality audio?
