Where to buy lossless or HD music?

[Maxf]

I'm exclusively streaming music now - some from spotify, but I have all of my CDs in lossless format on a NAS drive which is what I play on my main system.

I would like to buy more lossless music, but can't really be doing with the faff of buying a CD, ripping it, then storing it.

Where can I download (and pay for) lossless music - fairly mainstream music mostly?

It's really not that difficult though is it? CD arrives from Amazon, stick in PC, rip, check tags are okay, copy to NAS (or whatever you use), put CD in box with all the others. Takes all of about 10 minutes? You get a back up too because you have the original.

I still buy all my music on CD for this reason.

Yes, for the majority of my rips it's been fine - but some more obscure stuff hasnt tagged properly. I also tend to buy a few CDs at once which then end up taking an hour or more to add to my NAS.

It seems a bit backwards to do it this way, but looking at the prices it's actually cheaper to buy the CD and rip it yourself! I was hoping to switch to downloads for most things then just buy the odd vinyl album.

I started looking at ripping NAS drives too, which would be the ideal (easy) solution.

Thanks for the input everybody.
