I bought volume 1 a few months ago and the quality on some of the recordings was a little questionable, but I am half way through this one and the quality is outstanding!
I would highly recommend this to anybody interested in classical music, or anybody who doesn't own any classical music
At 65, I am not old enough to want to hear this kind of music...

Im only 22, haha. I am going to use this when I study. Somebody told me it also would make great "background music".

Sorry, I couldn't find it. If I do find it I will let you know.
Maybe if this was 1995 and your processor and dialup connection can't handle anything more than 32k or 64k MP3s. These are 256k and would sound great on any decent system. I haven't heard all the songs yet, but if there are any of questionable quality, it would be due to the source material, not the MP3 format.

I found out that vinyl can be just as good as FLAC if its a new vinyl. At first I thought of a recording from the 1950's, but I now understand that some new music is being produced onto vinyl at amazing qualities.
Thanks for the info atomota.
As for the 100 Greatest Classical Masterpieces Vol. 2, I am missing song # 67 "The Buffoon, The Buffoon's Bedroom"
Is anybody else missing this song? Or is it a problem with my computer?

Thanks in advance I am not familiar with this song. However, my download does have song #67 ("The Buffoon, The Buffoon's Bedroom" by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev) and it seems to play fine.

Great deal for $.99 (took advantage of the $5 MP3 credit deal), but what annoys me is that the concertos are broken into the pieces and you miss the big picture. Again, this might not bother you, if you want to use the music for relaxation purposes, but if you eally want to get what that concert means, this is not the way to go. Just my $.02

Yes I noticed the same thing. I ended up using winamp to sort them alphabetically, and that automatically put them in the right place.
As for the FLAC vs. Vinyl thing, the analog format of vinyl can be vastly superior to even lossless digital (such as FLAC) IF : your ears and brain can tell the difference, your audio equipment has the quality difference required, and your wallet can handle the price difference.
Though even if you can tell the difference one may not find it worth the price premium. I would love to be able to hear superior classical performances played from an analog source on superior equipment, and would even find the price worth it. However, my wallet keeps giving me "access denied" when I try to authorize the transaction

That's because all the people who would buy Volume I have already died off. Better hurry, because there won't be anyone around to buy the remaining volumes, so they'll stop making this stuff. They'll put the masters in the Smithsonian or something, so scholars and other curious people can come by and get an example of what people used to listen to in olden days.
Kind of like that ancient cave art or the pottery they found from the Persian Empire or Babylon.
