We do not keep any share of sales profits, and we offer the most generous contract possible to our artists. Our model for choosing CDs for inclusion in our catalog is similar to the process articles go through for scientific journals, as submissions go through a review process by other professionals to be evaluated for the interest of the program material and the quality of its execution. We then work directly with the artists to produce their CDs. After the production expenses are recuperated, and as an artist’s proportional share of ongoing operating costs are recovered, all profits are given to the artist, insuring that your purchase of one of our records is the strongest possible expression of support and appreciation for that artist’s work. For more information, read more about Becoming an Artist.
The best place for digital downloads is through our website, by browsing through our catalog and checking out with PayPal, as this way there are no distributor fees that cut into the artists take, and thus we can offer a both a discount to you and a higher margin to the artist.
Otherwise, our recordings can be found on most digital distribution sites, including iTunes, Amazon MP3, eMusic, Rhapsody, Napster, Spotify, Nokia, Last.fm, Zune, and Thumbplay, and many others. For physical copies of our CDs, you will find a link on the album’s page to Amazon.com, where you can purchase physical products.

Download purchases cannot be cancelled.
MP3 files are almost universally playable, can be loaded directly on most all devices, including iPods, and they will play in iTunes and Windows Media Player, on both Mac and PCs. Encoded at 256kbps VBR, it is almost impossible to distinguish them from the full CD version. However, other formats and higher encodes are available upon request for purchased tracks. See below for more information.
If you wish to have the full quality CD, or would like the tracks encoded in a different format for your convenience (including Apple Lossless, FLAC, AAC, etc), there will be an option to request this on checkout, and within a few days, we will re-encode the files and send you the links. In the meantime, you can of course enjoy the MP3s immediately upon purchase.
Yes, we don’t use any form of DRM. You may want to request a lossless version of the files if you are planning on primarily enjoying it from your HiFi system.
No, we do not use any form of DRM (“digital rights management”), so music can be enjoyed on whatever devices, transferred to any computers, backed up, and burned to CD for playing in the car or on your HiFi system.
Your link will expire after 30 days. However, by accessing your account, you will be able to access your purchased music and download the tracks through the website.
Since we only deal in classical music, we know the frustrations of organizing tracks bought from online shops into a big classical library. Our downloads are embedded with a .jpg version of the album artwork and are all tagged with full metadata using iTunes’ popular format, as follows:
title
Track name (including the name of the piece and the tempo marking of the movement for multi-movement works.) For instance: Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13 “Pathetique” – i. Grave; Allegro di molto e con brio
Last, First
Album cover name
Last, First (dates)
The year of the release
Blank
Track Number
classical
All software players support MP3s, and iTunes is a very popular player for both Mac and PC very useful for organizing your music collection. It is available here.
Other popular compatible players include
Real Player (Mac/ Windows)
Cog (Mac)
VLC player (Mac / Windows / Linux)
foobar2000 (Windows)
MacAmp Lite X (Mac)
WinAmp (Windows)
XMMS (Linux)
Itunes:
There is a folder automatically installed with newer versions of iTunes on Macs called “Automatically add to iTunes”, inside your music folder. Adding music to iTunes is as simple as dragging the tracks into that folder. Alternatively, go to Menu > File > Add folder to library, and select the folder where you saved the tracks.
Note that if in your advanced preferences or settings pane “keep iTunes media folder organized” is checked, iTunes will reorganize your library on the hard disk by artist, thus the original folder where you saved the album or tracks might be moved under a new folder with the name of the artist.
Windows Media Player:
go to Menu > File > Add to library > By Monitoring Folders… (automatic) or > Add Folder… (manually)
Real Player:
go to Menu > File > Add Files to My Library > Add Folder
For other players, please consult their help files.

However, if you get in touch with us to ask and offer a link back to the album, we’ll more than likely be happy to allow use. We always consult with the artist first though.
Yes, it allows you to use and share the music however you like. We just ask that you do us the favor of only sharing it with your direct friends, hand to hand so to speak, and not on p2p networks or online. If your friends like our music, please encourage them to visit our website to purchase some other discs. Since 100% of profits go to the artists, you are directly supporting them.
Please note that our music is not useable for commercial purposes under the CC license, and if you wish to use it in your own project, please get in touch to negotiate a licensing deal. We directly represent the artists, and depending on the type of project, the artist may well allow free use or very generous terms.
If there are any problems, please send us an email to request help.
Your bill should show a transaction labeled “PAYPAL *ODRADEKRECO” on the date you purchased your download(s).
