Michael Jackson - the 45 versions on CD

Qobuz Hi-Rez is better-than-CD quality (higher bitrate, 24-bit vs. 16-bit for CDs). You can purchase CD quality at Qobuz as well... it will ask you when you check out whether you want CD quality.

The Hi-Rez files are FLAC files. They're just FLAC files at a slightly higher bitrate.



A physical CD - 16-bit/44.1khz
Qobuz FLAC - 16-bit/44.1khz (so the same as a CD)
Qobuz Hi-Rez FLAC - 24-bit/44.1khz (a little bit better quality still)

Both the FLAC and the Hi-Rez FLAC can be downloaded at the link I posted above. You just choose which
when you put it in your cart.
