Guide to purchasing recordings:

It is often still worth the money to purchase real compact discs rather than downloading digital versions. If you use any sort of compression to store the downloaded material, there will be a noticeable difference in quality between the downloaded songs and CDs. Though it is now possible to listen to portions of a CD at the music store, we must still sometimes buy recordings that we have never heard.  To make an educated guess about the quality of a recording consider the following factors:  the ensemble or artists, the label (Telarc, EMI, Decca, etc.), and the price.  Usually the higher the price, the better the recording.  Re-released material, however, (an older recording issued again, usually in a new format) is cost effective for the label and typically gives the consumer a great recording at a lower price.

Checking out recordings from a library may be the best way to identify your tastes in ensembles and labels.
