ever have this happen when beatport shopping?

either

a) you shop for hours and hours, find a few good tracks you like, buy them, download them, play around with them for a while, and then realize that every track you just bought is a track that you will never use or incorporate in a demo (especially if you're shopping for one or two filler tracks for one of your projects)?

or

b) you shop for hours and hours, find a few tracks you think you like, buy them, download them, and then wonder why the hell you bought them?

/frustrated. just dug up a few songs in my unsorted/recent downloads folder that i've never played or even burned once, didn't know when or why i even bought them, and after listening, kicked myself for dropping cash on a bunch of shit-ass tracks. fail.

Same here man. When I first bought the Trentemoller remix of Les Djins, i thought it was crap because it's tough to mix it into anything. A couple months later, I came to love that track. It's absolutely brilliant. It's a tough feat to mix it into something but has worked great for me as a closing track.

yes definitely

i always sort out what is in for me and what is out


although there is a difference between what I personally am bored with and what I can still play at a gig. I like having a lot of music to choose from

what i do to combat this is to listen on beatport pretty regularly and keep a list of tracks that i like. then when it comes time to buy i have a list to refer to and i go back and listen and try to buy the ones that still peak my interest the most.

I sort of fixed this by making myself keep tracks in my cart for 2 weeks at a minimum, so that if after 2 weeks the sample still doesnt sound interesting, it gets the ax.

This happens to me all the time.. It's very frustrating to see all the shit tracks accumulating in my mp3 collection. Or even worse, shit vinyls.

I always used Les Djinns as an intro and then mixed into John Dahlback - Nothing is For Real (Mark Knight Remix). Always worked for me.

I have 4 carts...LOL. I keep one empty, and I use the remaining 3 to sort the tracks I am interested in into 3 genres: house, electro/prog, minimal/techno. I then keep them in the carts for a while and start picking off the weak tracks. When I am ready to purchase, I only buy enough tracks for a new demo/podcast mix. Or I'll buy whatever tracks I need for an upcoming gig. I buy a ton of tracks but I play out often and record mixes regularly so I play everything at least once. For my mixes for my demos or podcasts, I only use tracks once anyway.
