Regular visitors to Nonesuch.com may notice some changes we've made to the site. In addition to a new look we've given to the home page, we've added a few new features that will hopefully make your experience here a richer and more interesting one. Here are some of the things you'll find at Nonesuch.com:

There's now a live feed of the latest stories from the Nonesuch Journal to the home page, so you can read highlights of the most up-to-date articles and information about Nonesuch artists right up front, then click through to the Journal to read the full story.

For those of you who've used our longstanding interactive map to locate our world-class roster of artists around the globe, we've now streamlined things a bit, so that with one click on the Artists map, you'll find a complete alphabetical listing of all the Nonesuch artists. As always, you can also use the search function in the menu bar, which is now at the right of the page.

Music is what we do, so we know it's important for you to hear the music our artists have made. That's why we've put Nonesuch Radio front and center on the home page. Just click on the Radio icon to listen to streaming audio of songs available on Nonesuch as well as songs from upcoming releases.

And finally, the new feature we're most excited about is the new Nonesuch Store. You have many different options when it comes to buying music these days. We recognize the convenience and the portability downloading music allows, but we also believe that the physical CD still offers a more complete listening experience, with the best in sound quality and the complement of art, lyrics, essays, and bonus features that are part of the artist's vision of the album.

That's why we've created a store that will give you the best of both worlds: here you can buy CDs of the latest Nonesuch releases at a discount (with free standard shipping for orders over $20 and a low rate of $2 for smaller orders), and as soon as your order is complete, you'll be able to download, at no extra cost, the complete album as DRM-free MP3 files to enjoy right away. As an added feature, you can decide whether you'd like to receive files at the standard size and audio quality of 128 kbps or as larger, audiophile-quality files at 320 kbps, which may take several minutes to download but provide near-CD quality sound-again, at no extra cost. (If you have any questions about the download process, you can click on the FAQ link in the store.)

You'll also find on select albums exclusive bonus tracks available only at the Nonesuch Store, like the three additional pieces on Jonny Greenwood's score to There Will Be Blood, which are part of the download package you'll receive with that CD. And in the coming months, we'll be adding more and more albums from the Nonesuch catalog along with special offers only available here.

We hope you like the changes we've made to the Nonesuch site and will continue to make in the year ahead. We look forward to receiving your feedback at info@nonesuch.com and your suggestions for making the site a better place to visit.
