I think it doesn't make sense to have a different release for every digital
download site around.
The OP gave an example of a release from 3 different sites. I'm sure it
wouldn't be very difficult for someone to come up with an example of a
release available on hundreds of different download sites worldwide.

These music downloads often don't have a barcode or label information. I
would prefer perhaps a single "special" Digital download release, and then
linking it to the various download sites. I agree that the audio format,
bit rate, etc... are important, perhaps they could preserved as attributes
when linking.
