it's a last.fm-based label.. they are all free download, but i'm not sure if the MBID's survive last.fm's re-encoding

you don't have high quality masters that could be used to make flac's from the source?

VxJasonxV, once you hear the music you will see that there are no such thing as masters

You need to decompress the sfark to sf first
