I recently purchased and downloaded an album by Medeski, Schofield, Martin and Wood. Their website required me to install a Java update to download, first time I've seen a downloader requiring Java in a good long time.
It was late, I left it downloading when I went to bed. Just as well. The filesizes are enormous relative to the track length. MP3tag reports that the flac tracks are only 44.1khz, but the Bitrate hovers around 5000 kB/s! I don't know what the bit depth is, but I'm assuming 24. A 5:46 track is 243MB. I tried converting this track to 320 mp3 with dBpoweramp, which worked fine -- but the filesize is still over 115MB. These figures are way out of line, and I can't figure them out. The files play fine. Suggestions as to what is going on? R.
