Well it's that time of the year again and if you're like me you have no presents yet. :mad:

Thought we might start a thread for some good ideas.

----------------

Wolfgang's Vault offers some Unique Live Performances form some of the greatest acts ever to grace the stage... damn I should be pitch man. :D Really no other way to describe it. You can sample anything you want for free at lower bitrates, probably the same crap bitrate Itunes is selling tunes at...

I'm looking here and they have offer for $48 which gets you $50 <---- not typo> worth of anything they have such as if you wanted to download a concert. Concert prices look to be about $6 for 320kbps MP3 which is very high or lossless FLAC for about $9. In addition you get unlimited streaming audio at 192kbps which is actually higher than what they sell Itunes for I believe? Not that I would suggest it but technically you could get the whole vault by ripping the stream. :o Note the costs are discounted with membership for all merchandise 30%.

Sounds fair to me, this is legitimate site and has been around for years. I've even posted it before. I wouldn't be concerned about buying from them, be great gift for music aficionado.

Note the samples are "low quality" and it raw unpolished recordings... the real deal. ;)

My wife loves to read, so for her birthday I got her all of the sookie stack house novels since we both love the show true blood.

For Christmas I bought her all of the Temperance Brennan novel (bones on tv) and the Dexter novels (dexter HBO)

I believe they noted a 10 hour limit for non member per month, probably cookie based so you might need to delete cookies if you hit limit.

That site is from the collection of some big time producer live concert producer. I believe the RIAA tried to stop them from releasing them but he had the rights somehow.

You can't post the files directly like I have because it's special permission I added for direct HTML input which I can't allow for everyone because of security issues.
