| Another thing to complain about. Beatport said that next time they do an update they will make sure if there is a track you cannot buy because of regional issues it just wont be displayed... Still crap, still get region blabla bull |

New prices are just a ing jock. 2€ for a 320kbps, lol :wtf:
I used to buy about 40/50 digital tunes a month but now, I just want to download bittorent or any p2p and leech everything I like.
Look at dance-tunes, they do a lot of effort on prices. They are now something like 4 times cheaper than beatport and others digital shops. Too bad they are selling only trance and hardstyle :/
edit : I just remember , didn't they increase prices 1 or 2 years ago because of currencies? And they said they weren't going to change prices again  |

It was e before, and now it is e AND slow.
And it STILL blocks my downloads every single bloody time.
As for £1.49/£1.99/£2.49 a track for a fecking 320 mp3? Well they can just kiss my ass. I will go somewhere else that charges in $. What a rip off!
Bunch of arse- hope they go bust overnight. :rolleyes: |

The new prices aren't really a joke, it's what every other download site in the UK have been charging all along because otherwise the artists and labels get all. Don't get me wrong, I loved the cheapness of Beatport and got everything from there before, but this doesn't surprise me at all. I know a lot of labels were thinking of (and some actually did) leave Beatport because their low prices meant that even though they did a lot of sales, it wasn't worth having their tracks on there.
On the Trackitdown front, they've got a stack of new servers in the last couple of weeks and now the site's MUCH faster (yes, it was a right pain in the arse before) and I know that they're doing more to improve it.
Obviously it's all down to what you prefer using, but personally I'll be saying goodbye to Beatport now... I don't see anything that it's got over any of the other sites anymore. |

| I've never bought from beatport before, so I have a noobish question. How do you tell whether the track is a 320 or wav? Say like Fable - Above how can I tell? Thanks. |
