Re: beatport

didnt like beatport before the tax, because of flash and now it will be the last shop on earth i will buy my mp3s.

go to djdownload or whatpeopleplay instead, much cheaper.

Re: beatport

BUT, is there any other online shop with as much of a back cataloge as beatport? They have like a shitload of lables, artists!!! I mean alot!

I check out other shops and they dont carry labels or artists that I thought they would.. but they're at beatport..

Re: beatport

Most distributors these days...if you have a good one. Will hit up every digital site online. So you'll be able to find the good stuff anywhere.

e-music

beatports interface is decent, and their samples are amoung the best out there.. but.. EVERY one shops there.. back catalogues can be found a lot of times thru the actual label.. but e-music will surprise you ;)

Re: beatport

Cool beanz Steve! Will check it out. I know I was always kinda conscious about shopping at beatport because like you said; everyone shops there.

I want to be unique. I want to have the tracks no one else has or can find. I kinda gave up on that mentality. Plus I think that was a lot more common before the mp3 digital era.

As long as you're bringing good music to ears around the web.. its all good.

Re: beatport

I've gotten myself to a point where I check out tracks on BP and then listen to the samples on DjDownload because there I can hear the whole thing and not just the break.

e-music is a great site for [I][B]ALL[/B][/I] music, and the price boils down to about .25 a track.. plus every other month or so they add a new lable with their whole back catalogue.. just before I stopped my subscription they released Hooj! audio samples arent the best as far as i remember, but you can check out the track elsewhere and grab it from there..
