What music stores sell lossless music by the track?

[blurredvision]

I'm interested in checking out some lossless music, but am unsure of music stores that offer it. I currently buy all my music from iTunes, but would like the option to buy a lossless version as well elsewhere.

Thanks.

Maximum PC did a roundup of music stores last month, and one was for lossless music. I think it ended up getting a 7/10, because the selection wasn't great, and it was very expensive. Can't remember it for the life of me, though 🙁.

allofmp3 does offer lossless tracks on some albums.. but whether it's legal or not is debatable, if you care.

From their website:

A Credit Card to pay the $50 annual fee. 100% of your first year's fee will be applied to music purchases.* Each year thereafter, the fee is waived when you spend $50.*

Took me forever to find the link to sign up, just one little link on the front page in the middle of paragraphs.
