I just bought this yesterday without knowing about the CODE dvd. It's
the first JM album I've bought since The Lonesome Jubilee so was very
pleased to find the 24/96 wavs on the DVD.
I just copied them in, converted them to 24/96 flacs on off it goes.
It's a lovely organic sound typical of T

I downloaded the hires file from MG in WMA with no DRM and it sounds
quite good. I don't of course have the CD version to compare. One
strange thing I noticed is that it does not show up in my new music
folder. It does show up under the artist, with artwork, which is
unusual for MG. Can anyone

I personally think Mellencamp is a great choice for something like this.
He sells a lot of records, and has a history of releasing
well-engineered recordings - despite the loudness race etc. In
addition, a small but significant portion of his audience (at this
stage in his career) might actually

Wow, this is one of the greatest features of this new format -- no need
to rip with EAC! Don't get me wrong I think EAC is great, but drag and
drop is much easier. Also, no

Hey, give us some time! Personally I had heard nothing about this

days!
Having said that, I picked it up yesterday, and in the worst techno

aspects of the

FWIW, the audio track in a DVD has to be one of: PCM, Dolby Digital, or

Can't speak for this release, but in a similar vein, Neil Young has
released a couple of live albums which are/were available as two disc

any double blind
I might add, the album is IMHO actually pretty good. The first
