iTrax.com delivers DRM-free HD Audio downloads
Just in case you don't have enough digital download choices, here comes iTrax to give you another. This site, however, deviates from the beaten path by offering up DRM-free HD Audio tracks for those with more discerning ears. Granted, the music selection is quite limited, but for the albums that are available, users can download individual songs or entire records in a variety of encoding formats / mixes. Among the options are MP3, Dolby Digital, DTS, WMA Pro, WMA Lossless and even uncompressed PCM 96/24, and most songs can be downloaded in 2.0 stereo, 5.1 "stage" and 5.1 "audience" perspectives. Currently, the available music all stems from AIX Records, but more options are purportedly on the way, and if you're curious about pricing, most albums look to run you anywhere from $9.99 to $24.99, depending on quality / mix.

Will these tracks work on the iPod? I currently rip my CDs using Apple Lossless, but I refuse to pay $1 a song from iTunes for lossy, compressed music.

Yes you could convert the uncompressed PCM 96/24 into Apple Lossless no problem.

There are lots of options available that can be played on an iPod. In fact, an iPod will play uncompressed PCM audio (although not at 96/24)...you just won't get 10,000 tracks on it.
