Audiophile creates site for higher quality downloads
Like many musicians, composer and jazz player David Chesky turns up his nose at the average MP3 or iTunes track. Songs on CD must be compressed to make for smaller files for downloading and listening on digital music players. Chesky says too much of the musical information disappears during such compression. So the founder of audiophile music label Chesky Records has begun selling higher-quality music on a new site, HDTracks.com.
