Where to buy music?

Sorry for the newbie question, but I recently got into (addicted to?) trance and until now, music I had listened to was always available at the local record stores. Of course, with trance, things are a little different now. I've been browsing sites like www.satelliterecords.com and www.dancerecords.com listening to a whole bunch of really good stuff but there is very little on CDs compared to vinyl. I don't really have the money/space/care for a vinyl collection so is there much better sites with a lot of the same music on CDs or for direct download? Or is ordering vinyl pretty much the only way to purchase a lot of this music?
Thanks |

| and/or, as you have just started listening, amazon.com has many good trance cds from most major artists. |

tbh most cd's suck ass. it's a lot better to just listen to samples or illegaly download the cd, listen to it and then download the tracks you like legaly. |

hey, well it was a couple of Oakenfold cds from amazon.com that started me off, so starting off I think its better, I know for me the sheer volume of tracks was just overwealming. |

true, as long as we're talking older cds. because most cds that have come out in the last while havn't been worth the money. in search of coasters 3. |

| Thanks, after searching, Amazon has more than I thought it would, but there's still a lot I've sampled that it doesn't have. Is audiogalaxy good? I haven't downloaded the program yet. |

Yeah, LOL, I remember the golden days of AudioGalaxy when it was DA BEST program for downloading music at the time (2002). When they shut it down in 2003, I turned to Direct Connect, SOulseek and other sources whose names I refuse to name to any of you people ;)
As for actually buying CDs - I do buy a lot of music too. I have used pretty much every imaginable way of doing that: Amazon, Ebay, local record/music stores, dollar stores, thrift places, friends/acquantances, EVEN Wal-Mart. I look everywhere for EDM CDs to expand my collection. Check out my Discogs archive (www.discogs.com/user/Magnetonium) for my current CD collection if you feel curious (does not include 150 or so ambient/dance CDs that Discogs doesnt have - I'll add em eventually) |

there are a few stores that sell cheap cds with free shipping.
i've bought lots from www.cd-wow.com. they have quite a few edm cds there. i've bought at least 10 albums from there, and all have been cheaper than usual prices.
there are two uk-based stores which i know of, which also have free shipping,.. www.play.com and www.blahdvd.com.
happy shopping! |
