: For listeners wanting to own the files without digital rights management (DRM), Qobuz offers the album in various formats like FLAC and ALAC.

Fast-forward to the present day, and it's possible to download John Mayer's Continuum album in various formats, including zip files. This has made it easier than ever for fans to access and enjoy Mayer's music. However, this shift has also raised questions about the value of music in the digital age. With the proliferation of free or low-cost music downloads, many argue that the industry has devalued the worth of music.

But in 2024, the hunt is largely unnecessary. The album is available on every platform. If you truly need that zip file for your legacy iPod Classic or your long-haul flight, buy the digital album from a legitimate store.
