Who said the Christmas season didn’t officially start until Black Friday? Well, okay, these days nobody says that. But for us Goyim, at least, the gift giving doesn’t usually start for another few weeks yet. Linn â€" whom you may remember as the company who delivers 24-bit studio master recordings directly to your speakers (assuming those speakers are made by Linn, of course) â€" is starting the good tidings and joy a little early, though, with its new “24-Bits of Christmas†campaign.
Starting on Sunday, December 1, and running through December 24, Linn will be offering one free, 24-bit, Studio Master track on its website every day. Each track will be available for download for 24 hours only, so maybe you should set a Google Reminder now.
Actually, you don’t even have to wait that long to get your first free download. Starting today, and running through Saturday, you can snag the first free offering from Linn: “Chorus: And the Glory of the Lord [1] †from the Dunedin Consort’s excellent recording of Handel’s Messiah, in 88.2/24, all wrapped up in your choice of FLAC or ALAC. If high-res isn’t your thing but you still want the free goodies, the track is also available in CD-quality FLAC or ALAC, as well as a 320kbps MP3 download.
Once the promotion begins for realsies this weekend, new cuts will be available every day between December 1 and 24, beginning at 10:00GMT (which translates to 5am for those of you in the eastern U.S, 4am here in Alabama, and 2am for those of you on the Left Coast). But the presents don’t end on Christmas Eve; Linn also promises â€a surprise gift†will be offered between December 25 and 27.
And if you’re unsure how to play these high-resolution files, or if you’re not sure which download type is right for you, Linn has put together a handy guide called “Choosing a Download [2] .â€
All of these freebies will be available on Linn’s special 24-Bits of Christmas website at www.linn.co.uk/christmas [3] .
