Eliz,
could be because their label pulled it. I was linking directly to their file, so the free trial period likely ended. it’s worth a purchase though.

What can be the reason?

that’s odd Michael. is anyone else experiencing these problems? it might be that your ears are simply too good 😉
these tracks are generally 192kbps MP3s, and while MP3s are certainly far from lossless quality, it shouldn’t sound too distorted like you mentioned. but if any others experience this, please let me know and I’ll look into it. it could be a variety of different factors

It is still too distorted though!

Please don’t think I’m being an asshole but I’m an audio engineer so perhaps a little more fussy than most people. Maybe the problem is with this particular month so I’ll download some others to make sure. Also the Smith Westerns track crashes my machine each time I play it. Despite this, it looks like a great site and I hope to check out more of the music soon.

Michael, thanks for the tip. I’ll definitely look into it for next month’s compilation 🙂
