Originally posted by Max Thomson just do what I do, if you have even the slightest bit of doubt about how much you'll end up liking the tune, don't buy it. you'll end up with a lot fewer mediocre tunes and a lot more tunes that you're really excited about, although it may take longer to get as many of them. still, your library's level of quality will go way up. dig son! and never settle!

Or listen to a sample elsewhere? :P

Junodownload gives you a 1min 30sec preview and this isnt really long enough for tracks more than 6 mintues long which allot are.

The samples are automated. Go listen to any tune that has been released several times on different labels and at different dates, and you'll notice that the sample is the same each time. Do you really think they have humans chop samples out of all incoming tracks that they go through each day?

Also, you wouldn't be having this problem if you weren't shopping for trance

I try to buy tracks elsewhere. Beatport's previews are misleading and the website takes forever to load these days.

Beatport previews arent good considering they are trying to sell mp3s to people, its a bit like a car salesman just showing you the boot of a car ffs

Erm, what? It's not automated. They use the same sample for the same track, why would they re-do a different one just as it got released on an album or different label? Most samples always end right at the kick back from the break. Beatport like all sites have staff who's job it is to create these samples.
