How
it works
When a
visitor to your site clicks on the link button to Pristine Audio Direct
a small cookie file is stored on their computer which identifies you as
the source of their visit. This stays active for 10 days. All full price
download purchases* made during this 10-day
period will automatically credit €1.00 to your account. At the end
of each week we review the totals and make automatic payments to all our
affiliates.
Note that
the scheme is set up with our service provider so that we have to pay
you at least once a month - no running off to Rio with your hard-earned
loot as might be more common elsewhere in the music business!
In addition,
if you'd like to sell a specific recording (or recordings) directly from
your site please let us know - individual sales links can be arranged
once your account is up and running.
You can
see some examples of links and the source code you need to insert at our
Affiliate Links page here.

Pristine Classical - bringing you DRM-free historic classical FLAC and MP3 download music since 2005
FAQ
FLAC downloads perfectly match CD quality or higher.
Our MP3 files are encoded at at a constant rate of 320kbps for all issues since mid-August 2008, and using the LAME encoder at high variable bitrate settings for older issues.
Each recording is presented as a single, long MP3 which can be split using the CUE sheet at the bottom of the page, automatically adding track titles and other tag information.
Most modern CD writing programs such as Nero and Burrrn can write these files directly to CD with all track information added using MP3+CUE - see our tutorial
Alternatively a cue splitter program can automatically cut and name the MP3 into individual MP3 tracks
There are also media players which use the MP3+CUE system, allowing gapless playback of all long MP3 files - essential for opera and many other classical works
