Title: tech. ? - is it safe to do this type of download?
Post by: barry guerrero on January 08, 2015, 06:30:58 AM

This is the only significant piece missing from my Jack Sheldon collection (jazz). It was issued on vinyl only, which now goes for about $70 at the cheapest. Doing this kind of zip download will save me that money. But is it safe?

Thanks in advance.

The only download I see here is for RAR extraction software. I don't see the album itself being offered as a download, nor would I expect to. Discogs will sell you this album, the cheapest offer right now being $9.99 from a guy in Ohio. Discogs has a good reputation, and the sellers tend to grade their vinyl quite fairly.

Click on the "three for sale" link over on the upper right of the page.

Thank you James. Now I understand - it was looking at this very late last night when I was looking at this.  I'll definitely go for the $10 one.

1 hour later:  Thanks, I made the purchase. Couldn't have been easier.
