Trackitdown have just about every release available as a wav without that annoying "wav handling charge"... you can select to get the wav instead of the a 320k mp3 when you review your basket before the checkout.

Admittdly for people in the US they could well be cheaper from Beatport, but they're going to be a lot cheaper for people in the UK and Europe now that Beatport have changed their prices.

yes they do have an extra wav handling charge of $1 US per track and their prices are higher than beatport

Hmmn *hugs box of vinyl*

Seriously tho, it sounds like they are gonna lose a heap of you guys from this. they should really have beta tested the site and put it up in 24 hrs initially. Unhappy customers will always look elsewhere.

i just decided that i'm so pissed off that i emailed them and told them what they did wrong. i suggest everyone else to do the same.

I think the biggest gripes are over the pricing, which beta testing wouldn't have fixed... it's something they had to do to stop them losing client labels.

Ah ok, I see how it all lines up obviously Beatport's "wav handling charge" is the same thing as TID just having different prices lol (I'm not feeling like the brightest student in the class today, had a very long day at work...)

I personally like everything they have done with it so far, with the exception of not displaying the track length (but then again, that has never been a factor when purchasing a track for me before).

I also noticed, when checking out - you can now choose the bitrate quality for individual tracks. This is a great feature when you are purchasing a shitload of tracks, and want to pick and choose which one you want to spend the extra $$$$ to download in WAV.

However, the biggest thing I have noticed since they have returned has been their lacking in quality in terms of music. I used to pick up on average close to 5 or 6 tracks PER DAY, and in the past week - I have only found 4 tracks worth downloading. I hope this is just a dry spell in quality, or the fact that they are spending more time adjusting to the new software.

"Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience. We are aware of this issue and our engineers are working diligently to resolve the problem, hopefully within the next 6 to 8 hours. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your patience in this matter."


I want my damn music
