I've judged the different classical music stores on several criteria: price, size of selection, and music formats.

I'm impressed by the selection of Classics Online - there are loads of popular and obscure composers alike. The choice for each composer is likewise staggering, full of rare recordings and interesting gems. The prices are also reasonable. Some pieces are a little more expensive than I feel is necessary since these are all mp3 downloads.

But buying whole albums gives you a great discount. Unfortunately there's no option to download in anything higher than kbps MP3 quality. You can find the occasional has tracks in FLAC format, but there aren't that many. One thing which Classics Online is known for is their customer service, which is said to be extremely helpful. I haven't dealt with them myself but their online help and FAQs are very useful and easy-to-follow. Passionato are another big player. Their search feature is what stands out for me.

It's extremely quick to navigate, and very easy to find exactly what you're looking for. Passionato also has a ridiculously large range of downloads, at roughly the same price as Classics Online. Passionato differs though. There's a fairly large selection of downloads available in FLAC format too which is what I recommend for listening. Click to learn about music file formats.
