| I have come to the realisation that most trance comes out as a single on a vinyl. (correct?) Because I have tried going into best buy and look through the cd's and it seems like the best thing to do is look for an artist's cd or just a mix cd and see if a song I like is on there. Question: Are there any sites out there that sell these songs on cd's or am I forced to buy a turntable and buy the vinyl? |

Hey there...
There's plenty of sites. Most sites that sell vinyl also sell copies of most songs on CD singles. Also, Beatport, which is a site where you can buy digital music, gives you the option of receiving copies of the songs you buy on CD.
Search and you shall find :D |

| Lots of labels now offer their back catalogues on mp3 and more and more will join that fray at some point. Anyway, try used CD stores, they must have a chain in the USA, I know they got one here and it does great business and it is always worth a look to find all the old CDs that you wish you could find without paying thru the you know what for it. Amazon.com usually offers deals, I advise buying a few CDs at once off them, you get a better deal. |

| See, that is another thing. A lot of the tracks that I enjoy listening to are older. And from reading these forums and understanding the distribution of trance music I gather that it is almost like a collectable. Only a specific amount of vinyl are created and that is that. If you dont get one then you are either gonna have to search hard, trade, ebay... or whatever. Not like a cd where a mass amount is created and continued to be created until people just simply stop buying the product. |

Vinyl and CD sales work exactly the same, as long as a vinyl is requested it gets repressed, liked a CD. Only of course the amounts are way different, so of course it is more hard to find a vinyl then a CD.
But e.g. Paul van Dyks - For A Angel got just 2 weeks ago re-released on vinyl. So when the requests are there the labels let the songs repress on vinyl. |
