Price Hike?

Is it just me, or are there more and more tracks on beatport for sale at $2.49 instead of $1.49, lately.

Kinda sucks, esp. if you're buying WAVs... it comes out to $3.50 a track (and that not even including exchange rates!)

Damn it...

Hmm, didn't even notice that.

Be aware of re-releases... check the full list.

I was about to buy a track for $1.99 the other day, then realised there was a release from a year previous for $1.49

Yea, i saw that also. They charge $2.50 for new releases. I buy wavs too, so it's $3.50 for me. Beatport is not the only one, Trackitdown also charges $3.44 per wave file. Still beats vinyl price though. But at least with vinyl its more fun to DJ and the record is still worth something after you buy it.

I know, WTF, i hate when they do that. I also hate when i find a track that i like and it is listed there under 4 different labels and none of them are for my territory

Goddamn re-releasing the same song on beatport is fucking redundant.

vonyc is proving to be the cheapest for buying wav's but you have to be patient. Euro1.29 and you download a 192 VBR file right away, a week later they mail you a link to the wav file.
not the greatest selection, truly awful site to work with and takes a while, but it's cheap.

In the first year Beatport had many tracks for ony 0.99 and the expensive ones were 1.49

At http://Traxsource.com they have even higher prices, like promos at 3.99

These stores add hundreds, sometimes thousands of old/new tracks every week, but most of them are just the same old thing so I'm having a hard time finding something worth buying at any price.
