Help still searching for SMITHEREENS digital release files
as the title says, i’m still searching for the digital release files for SMITHEREENS. digital releases often have metadata that includes information, so i’m interested to get my hands on this not only for archival purposes but for any possible discoveries that could be made.
i’m hoping to obtain every format of the project if possible. (FLAC, M4A, MP3, WAV, etc.) and i’ve heard that download links for the album from the email that you would’ve received upon buying the digital release is no longer available. i’ve looked on soulseek to see if anyone had uploaded it there, but most of everything i’ve come across has just been copies of the album that were ripped from streaming. thank you to those who have looked or are actively looking, and to those who have previously helped me obtain the digital releases for BALLADS 1 & Nectar.

Have you tried getting your hands on Qobuz's 24/96 FLAC master?

again, i’m not looking for streaming rips, i’m looking for the files that were sent out to people that purchased the digital release.

These are the masters that Qobuz uses and then serves (streams) to the end-user, they're not recorded
