Warner Music Group label Nonesuch Records is now attempting a balancing act between CD sales and downloads. The group already offers a number of digital plays, including Nonesuch Radio. Now, the company is unveiling its Nonesuch Store, which packages downloads alongside CD purchases. "We recognize the convenience and the portability downloading music allows, but we also believe that the physical CD still offers a more complete listening experience," the company explained.
Along those lines, the Nonesuch store positions full CD purchases, but instantly offers downloads after an order is placed. In addition, downloads are available as DRM-free, 320kbps tracks, a fidelity that plays better with audiophiles. Lower-quality, 128kbps files are also available.
The site itself is rather simple and uncluttered, a nice change of pace. But a-la-carte downloads are not part of the plan, and not all artist albums are available. But the group is steadily adding content from a catalog that spans roughly 50 years.
