Metallica Embracing Downloads With A Vengeance

Well, video of its live recording, at least…Metallica will make concert recordings from its new tour available for download on the newly launched Web site, www.LiveMetallica.com. The band tied up with online movie provider CinemaNow for its PatchBay technology for this effort..

LiveMetallica.com will offer high quality, unedited soundboard recordings of all shows in standard MP3 and CD-quality FLAC files…

Once downloaded, shows can be burned to disc, transferred to portable players, or played through a computer. The cost for each two-plus hour show is $9.95 for MP3s and $12.95 for higher-quality FLAC files.
