Well what do you all think? Or just stick in the Record Shop thread.

its not a bad idea. i just found beatport, because somebody mentioned it in a thread and i've got about a dozen track from it. i would be interested in finding more sites like that.

Sites that carry a wide range of genres:

www.beatport.com
www.audiojelly.com
www.edmdigital.com
www.city16.com

Lemme know if you know of any others and I will add it to the list, and perhaps we can get a sticky going.

i was pondering about this a few months ago... we do already have a lot of stickies up here though.

we shall see what the general verdict is in this thread (so don't bother posting too many links) and then if enouhg people see it as a good idea, we will stick a new thread up with all the links in

i think its a good idea, but maybe another sticky shouldnt be made. instead put an "MP3 Download Shop" section within the online record store thread. then just rename the thread to online record/mp3 stores or something like that. less clutter, and plus alot of djs buy mp3s and vinyl, so itll be a one stop thread.

What is the best site for downloading legal mp3's that are commercial (i.e. Oceanlab - Satillite, Armin Van Buuren - Blue Fear, etc)?? Most of the sites that allow legal downloading have relatively underground music and unfortunately, the crowd I play for loves their mainstream. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I know you can find all those songs on Limewire, Soulseek, etc., but I'd like to support EDM.

have you tried itunes, or the virgin website?

the problem with digital downloads is that its an opt-in thing for labels. it might eb worth checking out the label website, or even emailing them if it is unavailable and ask for an mp3 (cheeky, but it might work)
