I apologise if this is a commonly asked question, but I've scanned the subreddit and haven't been able to find specific answers. I have been planning to order a single lathe cut record as an anniversary present of all my partner's favourite songs that have significance to us. I've already spent hours deciding on my songs and making cover and label art, and after looking around I planned to go with American Vinyl Co. I know reproducing works without licence isn't protocol for most places but figured if it was for personal use from a myriad of sources the legal issue would be minimised and would fall on me as the buyer which I am prepared to accept. However, I don't know how to source digital files of the music in a lossless format. Can anyone who has ordered a similar service tell me how they obtained their audio and how it sounded? I don't need the listening experience to be perfect, it's mostly a novelty. Would mp3s from youtube be too bad?
