CDR Discontinuation

In the past, I highly recommended listening to my music through CDR with high-quality audio equipment or good headphones (by the way, I compose and always listen to myself with headphones). The optimal way to appreciate my music would be to listen to the physical CDRs I have sold until now. However, currently, only FLAC downloads are available. Burning each CDR and shipping physical CDRs are expensive and require too much time, so I will burn them only upon your very special request. Please contact me if you genuinely need a CD format.




Buy Albums in FLAC Audio Format

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3 but lossless. This means that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. The compression in FLAC is similar to how Zip works, but it provides much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio. You can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player, car, or home stereo just like you would an MP3 file.

FLAC stands out as the fastest and most widely supported lossless audio codec. It is the only one that is non-proprietary, unencumbered by patents, has an open-source reference implementation, has a well-documented format and API, and has several other independent implementations.

You can get my music as FLAC files for download. Below is the list of available albums:

After Your Order

As soon as I receive payment, I'll send you an email containing instructions to download the album. Essentially, I will provide you with a URL to download a single compressed file and a password to decrypt the downloaded file. Below are the detailed instructions, also included in the email you will receive:

1. Download File


The album is contained in a single file, approximately 340 MB in size. Please ensure you have an internet connection with sufficient speed to download the file within a reasonable time frame. You can download by clicking on a secure HTTP link I will supply, similar to this one:

https://someurl/Z4aoUxvdw9fX1hO/A26VB4p20UIhAanptKFQuKOqZhGbY5.7z

2. Decrypt with Your Password


The downloaded file is compressed and encrypted in .7z format. I recommend using the free software 7-zip, which you can download from: www.7-zip.org (available for Windows, Mac OS, Linux, etc.). Please ensure you have the latest release of 7-zip installed on your computer before submitting payment.
Open the downloaded .7z file with 7-zip, and when prompted, submit (copy-paste) the password I created for you.
Password example: Zz0JaxR2y8jcRA1nOlGeRp9Sd67Fha

The decrypted file is a directory named after the original album, containing album tracks in FLAC format (one FLAC file for each track). You can find all details about the tracks on the album page of this website (usually at http://solyaris.altervista.org/albumname.html).

Last but not least, I would be very happy if you would write some comments (notes/feelings/reviews) about listening to my music. With your agreement, I'd be willing to publish your feedback on my website as an endorsement, including your name, surname (or your nickname), and date.
