Thanks for the links.
I have to add Qobuz (http://www.qobuz.com/). They have a rather large selection including some well known metal bands, that's pretty rare. It's unfortunate they charge an additional fee for lossless files.
Do you think it would be a good idea to try and gather a list of stores offering flac here, in the forum or the wiki?

Where to buy lossless?

Hello. It might be interesting to know where it's possible to buy FLAC encoded music legally. It's really an annoyance to buy MP3 from 7Digital or Amazon and then search the torrents for the corresponding FLAC albums :roll:
And sometimes physical discs are hard to get too.

Currently i only know of one store that regularrily offers FLAC : Bandcamp (http://bandcamp.com/). Unfortunately it's pretty annoying to browse but i always check there to see if they have an album before buying elsewhere.
It's sometimes possible to buy FLACs dirrectly from artists/bands, but rare.

Anyone knows other sources for legal FLAC files (or other lossless) ? It would be great if we could put together a list of those.
