Default B&W Society of Sound

Is anyone here subscribing to it and have you found any worthwhile recordings?

When I bought my HTM2 Diamond and also when I bought my 802 Diamonds I got free limited time subscriptions so I took the opportunity to browse and download some music. I downloaded the FLAC files but unfortunately I don't have a FLAC player so have yet to actually listen to the music. I downloaded some classical music.

I do have a CD that was done back in the early 90s from B&W.

I do. Most of it is not my taste, but a few good ones in there. It's how I discovered Charlie Winston. He has a couple of great albums on SOS.

Same here. Subscribed a year ago. Much of it was a bit too sterile for my taste. Great sounding, but kinda boring.. Some of it was good. I liked Micah Hinson's cover of Suzanne..

They had Thomas Dolby's new release on there, so that was worth it for me...Charlie Winston is a new one for me, wouldn't have heard him otherwise. It's interesting stuff...

I felt the same way, I downloaded the tracks but found the ones I tried a bit boring.

I have a subscription that runs through 2013 and have downloaded all the albums available. Not all albums are music that I would purchase, but the sound quality is very good.

For some reason I am not seeing what you recommend. Did you load a picture or album cover and I'm not getting it?
