I definitely agree with giving it a day or two before actually purchasing the tracks. If I find something I like I'll put it in my basket or on hold until a few days later, then give it another listen to see if I really like it. You'd be surprised; about half the music I originally liked when I listened to it I end up not getting.

+1 on the hold bin - usually when something catches my ear I stick it in the regular cart, then later that day I go through all those and send my top picks to the hold bin. Instead of waiting a couple days though, I let em' marinate in there for two months along with loads of other tracks. This makes it cheaper since tracks drop in price by .50 cents every month - plus this way if you still want it 2 months later you know it's solid and not just a track of the moment. I break this if I want something fast for a gig or radio show though.

If I hear an interesting remix I'll check out that remixer's page and will hunt down every label they've worked on and everyone they've collaborated with, which will usually turn up a couple more names to repeat the process on. Anyone interesting gets added to My Artists or My Labels. I'm also starting to put anything interesting in the Hold Bin for future reference.

This is what I do with Beatport as well. Additionally, I'm on every day, sometimes several times a day.
