how can you check the total amount you've spent at beatport?

Originally posted by all-nite-freak It really isn't that much and normal to spend more on music than the decks. The decks are only a tool whilst they are useless without the medium (message) aka the music. That being said its a hell of alot of money to spend to sound like absolutely everyone else. Fuck you beatport and juno. <3 secret german places. Seriously everyone downloads the same shit. CDR and Record Delivery > that.

you are so |337

Originally posted by Invasionmix I have a couple of the cases myself, they're very solid, they made sure that the case will last you for a very very long time. One and only complaint about the Slappa cases is that the book rarely stays fully open in the first couple pages, maybe I have to break it in more or something.

The handles on both my cases broke off in a matter of weeks. They're cheap and not "75lb strong" as advertised. Otherwise I love the double sleeves and page construction. The cases are nice except for that handle shit.


As for the two freaks, yeah, you are the l33test, but I'm also poor.

i dont speak spanish. (dammit @ nach)


clovis nothing wrong with it, just don't call them records because buying them have made us poor.

I'm just a beatport hater lately because some very good dj's I know have turned to run of the mill ones because of it.

Originally posted by Clovis ...more money on music than my decks cost. I've just surpassed 2500$ spent on beatport, starting a record collection from scratch over the past 2.5 years. I can't wait till double that time when I'll have twice as much music Collecting tunes is so fun...

It's funny, these days a huge music collection is actually incredibly cheap.

If you were buying actual records you would have spent around $24,000 dollars by now (by my calculations...).

I'm doing a similar thing to you Clovis, I had a whole lot of illegal mp3s, mostly poor quality, and a lot of older music not on the computer. I've been building an mp3 collection, pretty much from scratch, using online music stores.

Ironically, I just finished writing a small article about it before I'd even seen this thread. Read here (link) if you're at all interested.

p.s Agree with whoever said you have nice photos on your website!

Wow what do you do with it? I always throw it, drop it, swing it, and not a problem :S

Did you try putting a 75 lb weight on it? :P

I filled the 1st one with CDs, and picked it up fast and it broke. I broke the 2nd case by picking it up from the handle with the 1st case on top...

Originally posted by Freak What record collection??? You have a collection of 0's& 1's in not particuarly great quality, on a hard drive which will crash at some point. Something great to pull out and show the kids/grandkids... 'look kids heres daddys/grandads old music collection . Of course i cant play you any of it, as its incompatible with current formats... but take my word for it, its awesome. I can hum it for you if you like...'

and you have a collection of, let me guess, wax, which will break/warp/get too dusty at some point.

"look, kids, here's my old music collection"

"ok, grandpa. why don't you go back in the basement and we'll go upstairs to play with our wireless wii controllers and our touch-screen phones that can play videos"

/just a pet peeve
//can still hear compression artifacts in 320kpbs

both of you are idiots?

Lol

Woohooo bring on the vinyl vs cd debate!

OMG ABLETORZ NOOO!

....

I think when I came to the realisation that I had spent more on music then equipment was roughly around the time I bought Serato.

And whose fault is that, exactly--Beatport's, or the DJ's?

I'm really not the condescending type, but the amount of ignorance and sheer stupidity that goes around on these forums regarding Beatport is sometimes overwhelming.

The one I hate is how people blame Beatport for not being able to sell a particular track in their area. How on earth is that Beatport's fault let alone why would they want to do that!?

'sactly. Beatport add so many hundreds of new tracks (admittedly, as with anything else, a lot are shite) every week that you can quite easily avoid 'just sounding like everyone else' by looking a little bit further than the current top 10.

And remember Beatport isn't the only download site - granted the majority of stock is the same on most of the sites, but most have some labels and tracks that the other sites don't stock so having a look around various different stores can give you a much bigger catalogue with which to distinguish yourself.

Then there's mixing the tracks in an original way etc...

I am so tierd of the Beatport haters, there are a gazillion tracks on that site and if you can't find 15 good unplayed out tracks to put into a mix, then go to Oakenfold's house and do a line of coke off his nut sac

Top 100?


Nothing beats digging through the new releases for hours to find that one track of pure musical bliss.

edit: I don't get what the deal is with Samim - Heater!??!?!?

Actually I can't stand going through new releases on Beatport (just because of the way I like to go through new releases), but I do go through a good 700-800 new releases every week on various other sites and it ends up being pretty anonymous (i.e. a massive Winamp playlist of clips) so half the time I have no idea who the track is by or how well-known it is when I mark it down as one I like. Works for me.

I can't even login to beatport at the moment. Technical difficulties :/
