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.
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.

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.
