To the ppl who posted the negative comments. you are all being pretty arrogant and jumping to conclusions. 1/As a cd collector since the age of 12 i have way over 5000 cds. mostly dance ones. Therefore, i saw no point in forking out for vinyl decks and got cd ones instead.

So i mix with cds right? well come 1998 (i think, could be earlier or later), the rules relating to cd singles in the uk were changed so that a cd is allowed no more than 3 tracks in total or is allowed 4 mixes but still must be under 20 mins long in total.

As a result most cd singles only contain edits of the full length mixes. This is no problem where the record company aknowledges what the dance community wants and so chops off a few mins here and there to make the mix slightly shorter but still mixable , e.g. kosheen - catch; the hiver and hammmer remix was edited to around 6/7 mins to so that it could fit on the cd and a radio edit didn't have to be used.

However, most dances cd have crappy radio edits. the original mix of urban train on the uk cd single was less than 3 mins long. That's dispicable given the full length version is over 10 mins long.
same with dt8 - destination single, infact almost every single. As i'm sure most ppl would, for mixing purposes, i only buy cds with the full length versions. Also, some of the stuff is I want is never even released on cd. far less trance cd singles are released than vinyl per week. and some stuff is not even released, to my knowledge second sun's stuff has never been released on cd single in the UK.

According to your theory, no one should buy promo vinyls as the artist gets fuck all royalties for ppl buying them; promo sales go unaccounted for.

Besdies, I didn't ask what's the most effective way i can rip-off an artist, i simply asked has anyone got any download links so i can sample the latest tunes? What's the problem. if u want to debate mp3, go join a debating society or go to the philosophical forum


To everyone who has simply responded to my request. thank you

Well, check out www.juno.co.uk as they usually stock import CDs aswell including addictional remixes that dont make it to the UK singles

Also, if you were that much of a collector, then you would have realised CD's aren't the way forward in dance music. Vinyl is the main format. Always has been, always will be.

you must be stupid dude. Firstly there no limit to amount of tracks on a cd in the UK. Its a 20 minute rule, not a track rule.

secondly, thats only for chart singles (they must be 20 mins or under to be chart legible) you cna buy full lenght cds from the likes of platipus / lost language with all and maybe more mixes on vinyl?

get on soem promo lists sicne the promos have more full mixes, i did.

import stuff. it costs fuckall, only about 50p more per cd and yet you get much more value for money.

ive only been collecting cds for 2 years and ive got onto most of the major uk promo lists, import from cheap sources from the netherlands, germany, australia etc. ive got almost everything ive ever wanted on cd apart from a few exceptions.

i suggest you get of your arse and try harder rather than begging for mp3's...

also, downloading mp3's at uni can get you chucked out the uni. pay for an internet connection at home if your no longer buying cds.

cheap skate.

werd and if you dont want to import from other countires hmv to also sell improts and seein as you live in london imm sure a trip to the oxford hmv wouldnt cause you to much grief.

your uni has blocked acess to file sharing programs mainly as it costs them bandwith, imm almost sure they will moniter bandwith usage and if they see a high amount of downloads on your user account they will take a lookie at the firewall logs and see what youve been up to, also consider that downloading copyright work over the university conection is a clear breach of their user conditions (well my uni had a policy like this in place as have a few of my mates) and if you do download copyright stuff they can ban you from the computers
