I love Armin, and I religiously listen to ASoT, but the question ,why bother?' comes to mind with this set.
People who know ASoT probably have all of their favourites in MP3 or even burned to disk already anyway...it's just odd to see him giving away the tracks so to speak one week, and then trying to charge for them the next.
Of course, I rarely buy compilation disks anyway...artist albums, yes, possibly worth it for the full clean versions of songs, new material...but why should I pay Armin for Solid Globe's work? I respect his skills as a DJ, but come on, if he wants my money for spinning someone elses music then he should come to my local club more often ;) |

Well its basically for people who arent djs...normal listeners who want to have legal music and I would buy it because its a overview of this years best trance in a mixset and its always good to have that plus down here im on 56k so it would be hard to download....
And I like to buy cds from the artists I support and I also like to be legal |

Last I knew there was nothing illegal about having MP3 copies or burns of a show that was played on the radio...
And I agree that it's for ,normal' listeners, but how many of these normal listeners actually tune in and then can't get a copy of the show if they liked it?
For DJ's the artist albums are usually useless too, since most of the time they're mixed, and usually include mixes that are middle of the pack in quality (IMHO at least, sometimes they have the best mixes, but it's just a matter of numbers).
Don't get me wrong here, I hope this sells well for Armin, but I've always had a hard time understanding why a DJ should be able to get a huge chunk of money for putting his name on a CD that is simply a collection of other people's work with perhaps a track or two of their own thrown in for good measure.
Oddities of the dance music scene in general I s'pose. |

+1
I get the feeling Armin doesnt just make cds for people who listen religiously to ASOT.
Having said that, you would hope that he put alot of thought into this cd, and just didnt release it for the sake of releasing a cd, as some people here maybe suggesting |

so its no longer 'non-stop in the mix'?
i guess there are probably more people who don't listen to the radio show and who don't download recorded mixes off the internet so why not make a compilation like that? a lot of the time i think when people complain about a song being 'old' they are referring it to when they heard it once or twice on a show like ASOT when the track is actually new and may not be out yet, or they downloaded an mp3 when the track again isn't actually out in the shops. so these songs might still be quite new, and again not everyone listens to radio shows and downloaded mixes so a lot of people will like this and good for them :)
personally i think im more likely to buy a cd with songs i know instead of one with all new stuff because then i know ill be buying a new cd. i guess there is also the thrill of discovering something new and unknown but hey :p |
