Are any of you downloading high rez music?

Lately, I have been downloading high rez music (24/96) from HD Tracks. It works out great, but it takes a long time to download an album. I know most people are downloading iTunes music which is compressed. Are any of you downloading high rez music? What other sources are there besides HD Tracks that you know of?

Can anyone recommend any websites or brick and mortars that sell high definition music on BluRay?
I checked Amazon and they do sell the 2L that was mentioned in another post by John. In addition, the only other 2 that I found were:
MAHLER: Symphonie No. 2 in C minor 'Resurrection' - Music Experience in 3-Dimensional Sound Reality [7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Disc] [Blu-ray]
Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue - Music Experience in 3-Dimensional Sound Reality [7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Disc] [Blu-ray]
Both found on Amazon.; ▶ Reply to This

I believe it is free for the first three months during which you can download one album per month. I did not find very much music I dug, but I am sometimes impatient, so your mileage may vary.; ▶ Reply to This
