iTunes walks with the Dead...

[Zim Hosein]

The long, strange trip of acid rock icons the Grateful Dead has made a pit stop in cyberspace, with the band now selling digital downloads of key live recordings.

Grateful Dead front man The band announced Tuesday that digital versions of the recordings are now available through Apple Computer's iTunes service and the band's merchandise site, which previously sold only CD versions.

The offerings include all 33 volumes of "Dick's Picks," a series of recordings capturing certain live performances by the band, and a dozen or so more selections from the group's "Vault."

Albums purchased through iTunes are in Apple's secure AAC format. Buy direct from the Dead, and consumers get their choice of two MP3 bit rates or FLAC, a "lossless" format preferred by many audiophiles. Prices range from $18.99 to $30.70, depending on the length of the recording and the audio quality.

:music: While the storyteller speaks
a door within the fire creaks
suddenly flies open
and a girl is standing there

Eyes alight with glowing hair
all that fancy paints as fair
she takes her fan and throws it
in the lion's den
:music:
