    I have a question regarding digital files. https://store.acousticsounds.com/ind...atchmen+Volume there's this one and seems to have all 3 Volumes.

    then there's https://ca.7digital.com/artist/trent...6%2C17%2C9%2C2 this site that only seems to have Volume 2. Is there a difference in sound quality between these files from these 2 sites?

    I do not have a record player and these sites seem to be my only resort to own the music. Any help is appreciated.

    sorry. originally posted in the Watchmen thread, had not noticed this one.
    also, as a Canadian, i am unable to purchase these from the Acoustic Sounds website, what can people who do not own a record player but still want to pay for this music do?

    Heard a VPN is only way outside the US

    Yes, 7digital only has the 16/44 version of the files. Acoustic Sounds is the only place we've found that has the 24/48 hi-res lossless for purchase.

    You didn't specify whether you're looking for lossless or not. If you want lossless, then your only purchase options are TIDAL for 16/44 lossless, or Acoustic Sounds for 24/48 lossless (and cheaper than TIDAL). Or 7digital for 16/44 lossless of just Vol. 2.

    If you're OK with lossy formats, then it's available globally in AAC or MP3 formats (and cheaper than the lossless options) on the main retailers: iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play.

    sorry about the delayed/late response.
    I was and still am looking for the best quality in terms of sound. I am probably one one of the few dinosaurs on this site who doesn't use streaming services and at the same time not having a record player leaves people such as myself in a weird position as I love to support my favorite musicians by buying their music.

    Looking into VPNs, because that seems like the only way certain sites (Acoustic Sounds) allow me to purchase anything.
