On what website you buy your music

On what website you buy your music and what genre you listen to?

Traxsource --- G HOUSE

What's the point of this thread, exactly?

I'm searching for good online music store?

If you are looking for old tracks, Beatport has the best price as long as you don't have to pay taxes and is running another classics sale if I am not wrong. For the rest I use Juno, best price for new released tracks and juicy discounts if you purchase entire releases.

I'm browsing the deep house section of beatport and it keeps redirecting me to some shitty club music.

browsing beatport can sometimes be a pain. I find Audiojelly and Juno easier and quicker to find what you are lookin for, but of course you can find tracks in Audiojelly that you cant find in Beatport, Juno, and vice versa.

Umm, what? All Beatport sells is "club music"...

Hmm no one here uses iTunes?

Isn't iTunes cheaper than Juno, Beatport and Audiojelly?

i think Itunes only sells low quality mp3s though. I could be wrong.

256 aac is better than 320 mp3. They have a lot of EDM releases since the last years but still can't match Beatport and Itunes doesn't have many older tunes.

And FLAC is better than 256 aac, point being?

To bad you can't buy FLACS tho..

I just bought some DJ gear not long ago for mixing purposes.
Eventually I'll want to get into producing my own music but that's a long way off.

So taking these factors into account where should I be looking to buy my music? Obviously I want the highest quality at the lowest cost. I'll primarily be buying newer EDM tracks. Trance/House mostly. iTunes seems to have a decent amount of music that I listen to, but not all.

The last time I purchased a track from iTunes was a while ago.
It was an MPEG-4 AAC LC/256 kbps.

I'm a nub with this sort of stuff. Very new to it all and I'd appreciate some info.

Thanks! :- )

320 kbps or 256 AAC preferred. Never less than 192 kbps and if you want to buy a WAV that's better sound quality of course but 99% of the people won't notice the difference between a 320kbps mp3.

Are there any good alternatives to Beatport?

whats better than flac

DVD-audio.

However... Metallica - Enter Sandman [0:00/5:31][FLAC][3163kbps][96000Hz][124MB]

124 mb for a 5 minute track.

Newgrounds Audio Portal.

Juno is hit and miss..... be careful of vinyl rips and fake WAVS / mono encodes.

I bought a fair few of the above off them, they blame the label for supplying them with the fakes etc

ISOS samplers in .wav were the same as 192 kbps. lol

Also bought some Oliver Lieb release which was damaged. But they refunded me the money.

TRACKITDOWN.NET BEATS ALL BY FAR!!!! No website has better sub-genre filtering than trackitdown.

iTunes & Beatport

what.cd

iTunes before, now I'm searching a new one.

Low price, high quality and quantity anyone?

Doesn't exist. Though if you are into Techno/House/UK music/hipster-experimental music, Boomkat is pretty damn good. A three tracker EP for £1.95 if you buy it in one chunk. And they let you re-download shit at any time unless the other stores.

A .wav is 2.5€ on Juno. Seems it's gone up(?)
