2003 not 2004

Here's my own favourite song of theirs, and also very appropriate to the current situation we are dealing with here!

Perhaps 'in a perfect Spanish scrawl', isn't quite right for our situation, but the the language to swap it for would be from a country very close by!

Bunch 26 follows:

"Don't make me happy" - that's exactly what I would say to Jose before he started his flac revolution if he'd ask my opinion. 

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more...

Edit: I'm gonna throw one more in here which mentions FLAC in the releases information, but in this case the information that Jose gives is correct: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=23206. The album is indeed currently available free to download as a ZIP archive in the three formats he mentions from http://maudlinofthewell.net/, but how long this will remain the case is yet to be seen. The album is also available for purchase digitally on bandcamp in ALL the usual formats: https://kayodot.bandcamp.com/album/part-the-second, so maybe that needs to be added in the releases information section as well?

This one I just came across might need modifying a bit too: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42161. Jose says "FLAC Society of Sound - SoS Music 50 (2012, www)", which is true - the album WAS released exclusively in 2012 by Bowers & Wilkins (the parent company of Society of Sound, which was a monthly subscription service to listen to, discover and discuss music delivered in high-resolution quality). However, this service was withdrawn in March 2019, and all the download links expired forever at the end of that month. The album was only issued in the more widely available formats Jose mentions (CD/DVD & LP) in 2014: https://www.discogs.com/master/view/731008.

Perhaps a note needs adding to say that Society of Sound was a monthly subscription service offered by Bowers & Wilkins, which is no longer available, and that only those who'd enrolled in the service could access the FLAC files for download in 2012 anyway?

Here's the announcement that Society of Sound was ending, as posted on the B & W facebook page, 21st Feb 2019:

This was another album we recently altered that used to have a similar line after Jose had modified the page: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=6683. The album is on bandcamp now, but the reference number of ESDDL 02 was just for the old download link - Jose had actually written "FLAC Proximity Records - ESDDL 02 (2012, www)" - and the line which now says "Digital album - bandcamp.com - ESDDL 02 (2012)" needs the reference number and year removing. The album which is now available on bandcamp is actually a remastered version, and wasn't available there until June 26, 2020 (see https://elegantsimplicity.bandcamp.com/album/nocturnal-implications-2020-remaster and https://www.elegantsimplicity.com/discography/albums/nocturnal-implications-1992/).

But... I announce you can take a break... I'm about to shake the world with some BIG news!

This whole combat against FLAC is about to end very soon! 

Edit - As a little teaser, I fixed these 125 entries tonight:

 

^ While awaiting the details of what your discovery involves, I checked through my last bunch of FLAC marauders (prepared last night) once more, and found that they still all need dealing with, so I'm gonna post them here anyway:

That's about 1400 that I've posted here myself so far, plus Julien's 125 from yesterday, and the 100 that were done by Eugene when the problem first came to light last May. So, 1625 or thereabouts in total so far. My initial Google search string of "FLAC download - bandcamp.com" + progarchives, which suggested about 2960 results in the beginning, STILL suggests that there are about 2790 of these knocking around, yet if you change the search criteria by typing "FLAC download" + quinino + progarchives, the estimate drops considerably to about 513, and at least 200 of those have already been posted here (Google's caches are so very slow to be updated), so I reckon there can't be many more than 300 or so left now...unless someone else besides Jose has been writing "FLAC download" on these bandcamp album pages (God forbid!)

I await what you have discovered with great interest, but one way or another Progarchives.com will be rid of this legacy before too long! 

I've just checked another 50 of my 'pending' list that are waiting to be posted here as Bunch 29, and all still need fixing, with another 100 or so that I haven't yet re-checked following Julien's surprise counter assault which took out 125 yesterday.
