With all the new Atmos streaming titles in lossy audio is it now time to release them in a high resolution file download format for the audiophiles to own?
A $20 or $25 payment to own a high res copy of an album would put more money in the music labels coffers than the pennies they get from a song play royalty from the streaming services.
I’ve been wondering whether the old ‘Record Club’ model from the sixties and seventies or an ‘Audible‘ type model where users pay a monthly fee to buy any title via a subscription/membership fee would be successful. The Audible model is 12 or 24 books for a 12 month membership fee, users can buy any 12 or 24 books at any time over 12 months and buy an additional book for an additional fee.
Thoughts?
