huh! i got cable modem 3 years ago and i never bought a cd since. why should i all of sudden start buying.? because of fuckin all these bandwagon jumpers saying that mp3s r cuzing dreadful sales. haha dumbasses. its the overall economy and horrible managment of the record companies. not mp3

Posted by torontotrance on Mar-16-2003 22:09:

actually I've always been buying cd's....and I rather have the real version because it sounds a helluva lot better.

Same here... I would buy them on the internet but the currency rate and the taxes (80%) makes it quite impossible to buy something

However, I've purchased about 80 CD's of d'n'b, oldskool techno, breakbeat and eurodance (because they were made here)

I don't buy '12 because I don't have decks to spin them on
so occasionally I do buy albums
but trance albums are quite rare here, or when I do find them, they're like $30 an album...
so when I do buy cds, I buy my cds used, or off ebay..which I don't think helps the producer in any way since I'm not buying from a retailer...
but I recently did buy PvD: Global from HMV
and that cost me $36 including taxes...
wayyyy overpriced!!

On the other hand, I d/l singles and live sets
I might have a few albums here and there too

Damn right. Second hand CD shops are great. You can find some right bargins and some rare CD's too.
I remember seeing a Sasha GU Long Box Set (I think it was GU13 but I cant remember) for something like �10.
Wish I bought it now

grow up...they are not 30 bucks an album

I live in ontario...sighs

global was basically double cd (one dvd and one cd)....so that's keeping with the normal prices they sell them at hmv. If you don't like it then simply don't buy it.

never did i say i didn't like it
i even bought the damn thing
I support the artist whenever i can, but that doesn't mean I must buy every single album available because we all have a budget
maybe we're not all as wealthy as you are to buy every single album on our 'want list'
but if you take a look at all the trance compilations in HMV, you will notice most of them are $25+
I bought Airdrawndaggar for $19.99
and ISOS3 for $19.99
which is quite expensive for a single disc album considering most are 16.99

and double cds aren't usually 31.99!
even if 1 disc is a dvd
well, the hip hop ones anyway
because I notice that the Aaliyah album is a double disc, 1 cd, 1 dvd and it's far less

maybe because these albums are imports
but the fact is that trance albums are generally more expensive
that's why i prefer to buy them used
i agree real cds are better because having the artwork is helluva lot better than just a jewel case

Posted by torontotrance on Mar-16-2003 22:58:

nah..i'm not that wealthy

I've found most at great prices at hmv or elsewhere...where they have discounted the prices

I bought gu011 for 20
gu012 for 17
gu018 for 16
Paul Oakenfold - 2 Yrs Cream 16 bucks
all gems...all of me being lucky.

I probably do agree lately, I have bought too many cd's.

Posted by Strike on Mar-16-2003 23:08:

Same here
now i'm dead broke..lol
I'm trying to finish my PvD collection
and found Seven Ways for $20
that was a steal
it's not really even the price that bothers me
it's the fact that i can never find what i want!
i'm going to have a pretty tough time looking for 45 rbpm

is Zurdo only available to Mexico and the UK?

Posted by torontotrance on Mar-16-2003 23:10:

look in used cd store....45 rpm should be around....

Posted by victor on Mar-16-2003 23:14:

hmmmm

i dowload mp3's usually...

if i really like the album, i'll go out and buy it... but im a poor bastard... so if i dont like the album, i still keep it on my harddrive...

apologoes...

Posted by mettkea on Mar-16-2003 23:26:

I hardly have any albums because I'm a pretty picky person (I have to like every track on the album to buy it), but i have a ton a vinyl and always go see djs when they come to town so I figure that is my contribution to them

Posted by DJ_Skaya on Mar-17-2003 00:06:

When it comes to mix CD's, I always download AND THEN buy them nowadays. Coming from someone who has very little money, very few mix CD's are really worth buying IMO. However, if I did have cash to spend and didn't spend every free penny on vinyls, I would buy more to keep the labes going and to support the scene in general.

Posted by sl.ent on Mar-17-2003 03:05:

)))

I havent bought a cd in two years before that I use to buy a cd every two weeks... thank god file sharing........ $45. + TAX for a import CD fuck that...

Posted by zarathustra on Mar-17-2003 03:21:

In the past year and a half, I've bought:

Tiesto: ISOS 1,2,3, Magik 5,6,7, Summerbreeze, Revolution, In my Memory
PvD: Seven Ways, OTAB, TPOD, Global
Armin: Boundaries of Imagination, 004
Ferry Corsten: Global Trancemissions 1, 2
Faithless: Sunday 8PM/Saturday 3AM, Outrospective: Special Edition
Thievery Corporation: DJ Kicks
Mauro Picotto: Pulsar
Tall Paul: Back and Forth, Mixed Live
Timo Maas: Loud, Music for the Maases
Push: From Beyond
Way out West: Intensify
Max Graham: Cream CD2
John Digweed: MMII
Sasha: ADD
GU: 06,09,13,23
NuBreed: 004, 006
Chicane: can't remember the name, has Saltwater on it...

I like buying CDs alot. I rarely d/l albums. Only if they're very expensive or extremely rare. I'll sometimes download if I'm unsure about buy a CD, but I either end up buying the CD or trashing the file. I also feel good about supporting the artist.

Posted by AztecEJ on Mar-17-2003 03:48:

I download a lot of music but I will never go and download an album, I'll pruchase an album. Gotta show support for all the hardwork the DJs/Producers put in. My downloads consist of mostly livesetsm and some singles.

hey man can you name some good used cd stores in toronto, i need to get more CDs, need to finish my Tiesto collection and i need a shitload of trance CDs.

Posted by VaNFeCto on Mar-17-2003 07:39:

Well i would love to buy cds but the ones i want are never available. I mean and when they are available theyre like two years old. I mean i had the same system download fisrt to prevent me from buying crap, but i mean when u cant find it the burnt copy plays just like the real one, especially when u dont have the extra cash for it.

Posted by torontotrance on Mar-17-2003 16:03:

greatest shop is the one in kennedy commons....then again....you may want to give up. I'm there grabbing the gems so often...it's not funny.

Posted by Floorfiller on Mar-17-2003 16:26:

i think its funny that such internet savvy people aka anyone on this board try to use the excuse of "they don't sell near me"...

Posted by torontotrance on Mar-17-2003 16:37:

amazon.com and the other countries that it sells in

are often quite reasonable....plus they mail the sucker to you

Floorfiller...it comes down to laziness...they simply don't want to buy. People need to support the industry....by going to see deejays live (well 70% of this board, is not legal clubbing age in the places they live...pathetic) and buying their vinyl releases or cd's.

Posted by Floorfiller on Mar-17-2003 16:58:

Posted by torontotrance on Mar-17-2003 17:18:

probably the same mp3 kiddies who think that tiesto is the world's number one by listening to mp3's and not going to see him live.

Yea ure right, and i can even say so for myself it is laziness because i could very well order from amazon off the internet, but when it comes vinyls i jus got into djing and what not but ive spent buku bucks on vinyls in the last 5 months, and i always go out and see my fav djs.
