You have to switch the search option over to "MP3 Downloads" on top in the drop down menu. But even if you do that, it doesn't seem to be there.

Thanks for the hint, but that doesn't work for amazon.de. Maybe they'll add the bonus song next week.

Early Bird is there too, probably better to buy it from Amazon rather than iTunes, no DRM and MP3 format.

That's what I was thinking...until I found a certain FLAC download link. I think it's fairly funny that a lossless version emerged for free, while the song is only being sold as an mp3. Was heavy drinking involved in developing the new MK Inc. marketing plan?  ;)

Well, I guess that's because of one of those people who like to talk about the amount of music they have in TeraBytes and convert everything to FLAC (even the crappy bootleg recordings!). As long as every song of about 5 minutes takes over 30 MB on your hard disk, there is a chance you beat everyone. ;D It's something with "size" and "matters". ;)

Oh? And where did you read that?

I saw you wrote above that "FLAC is pretty useless", and without attempting to insult you, I think that's just about the most misguided statement I've read here in a long time. FLAC is for people who enjoy lossless audio- who don't appreciate the atrocious sound of an mp3, or should I say "empty3s".  :P

Lossless audio is of course better than an Mp3 (even a 320 kb/s), that's true. But seen the fact that (most of) the recordings which are available on the internet (such as bootlegs) are of relatively bad quality themselves, it is pretty useless to make them even bigger. A bad recording doesn't sound much better when converted from WAV to FLAC. Actually every conversion decreases the quality of the recording. Probably, the FLAC which is circulating on the internet is a conversion of the 256 kb/s Mp3: the chance that someone could get a good quality (lossless) audio file (for example an original CD) of Early Bird is close to zero. Pumping up the size of a 256 kb/s Mp3 doesn't automatically increase the quality, only size. You can't create what isn't there with digital audio, that's my point. :)

Perhaps you should use another browser? I suppose you need a flashplayer for the widget.

Yes, I know, but in this case the FLAC download of Early Bird was actually lossless. I checked it in Adobe Audition.

In that case, forget everything I said about it! ;D If it is lossless, it's GOOOOOOOOD!

Let's not forget, the individual who released this particuar file has official links to MK, so entirely possible.

As for your comments about all these "bad quaility" bootlegs, well just stick around here for a while, "watch and learn son, watch and learn." ;)

If you follow the first link, it says that you can buy the song for $ 0,99. It seems that you can buy the single song (which is, of course great!). :)

Perhaps not

1) The release date in US - September 15
2) The digital download at Amazon US is avialable for US resindents with US IP address. I think so

If you click further, it shows that the songs are not available (yet). I guess we have to wait two more days.

OMG they're kidding us all!  :o ;D What's that? the mighty treasure hunt?  ??? ;D
I think I'll wait to download till Christmas, so I'll have probably all the 25 unreleased tracks.  ::) ;D
