But to answer XTracktor, I am finding myself playing out more and mp3 downloads are great for home, but I want to try and have the best quality for tracks I intend on playing in clubs and large systems. Plus I want to support the scene so other producers can stay in the game and new ones can come up as well. I think that if one uses music for commercial/professional purposes that they should contribute and pay for the music that they play. I buy vinyl all the time but I need to start paying for digital music that I will use in demo's and live performances.

Thanks Mike. I appreciate you looking out for the FNG's. This thread gave me a lot of information that I didn't know about. Thanks everybody.

You can buy directly from most of the labels sites. Its kind of a pain but by doing this you are able to get all the tracks released by the label. You can also pay for promo CD releases to be mailed to you weeks in advance, which is nice if you are a DJ. As far as currency exchange, download a currency converter.
How would I go about getting the Prome CD releases mailed out in advance. That would be way cool to have!
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Usually the record label itself will have an option, I know anjunabeats has one and I think nebula?

Yea for sure! I totally agree with you...I am doing somewhat the same, at least to the point of playing more on mp3, but being an audiophile...quality is a must! My original intent of my post was to tell bas you rarely spin trance...but your response is one great post nevertheless!

edmdigital.com, bedrock.uk.net, playittonight.com, and you'll be surprised the tunes you'll find on iTunes.
yeah but iTunes dl's are in mp4 format, and you can't save them as .wavs or .aifs, like i do for use w/ Ableton. but i guess if you're dling just to listen, iTunes is aight
Its the same as the list posted before taken from teh DJ Booth.
But Im putting in a plug for TA Wiki, it just started and we need more people to contribute (less work for all). This is to mainly help new-comers to the DJ scene and stuff.

There's always a way around this my friend. I do it all the time.
