Looking for UK Now Series, and Radio 538 Hitzone Comps?

Posted: Fri May 04, 2012 9:20 pm

I've got lossless copies of the UK Now that's what I call music, volumes 1 through to 40, but trying to find volumes 41 to 80 please. I'm also looking for the entire Radio 538 Hitzone series in lossless format too. Any help would be much appreciated. There are only mp3 copies floating around, mp3 sounds horrible, I prefer flac. I'm quite sure they were torrents of these in lossless at one stage? Thanks

Have you considered using a free audio converter to convert the Mp3 files to ACC, FLAC etc?
DvdVideosoft do a pretty good converter that i'm pleased with.

I've downloaded the whole studio package though (67Mb) as there's some great tools there, the above link is for just the free Audio Converter.

Sorry imouse, but thats a really daft suggestion. There is absolutely no reason to convert mp3 to flac, as the mp3 is already a degraded copy. If the file is mp3, 80% of the data is lost for good, you can never get it back.

Didn't know that, I stand corrected.
I'm half deaf so music is now always blasted at almost full whack, too many years of munitions going boom right next to me.
