either
a) you shop for hours and hours, find a few good tracks you like, buy them, download them, play around with them for a while, and then realize that every track you just bought is a track that you will never use or incorporate in a demo (especially if you're shopping for one or two filler tracks for one of your projects)?
or
b) you shop for hours and hours, find a few tracks you think you like, buy them, download them, and then wonder why the hell you bought them?
/frustrated. just dug up a few songs in my unsorted/recent downloads folder that i've never played or even burned once, didn't know when or why i even bought them, and after listening, kicked myself for dropping cash on a bunch of -ass tracks. fail. |

| all the time mate. i tend to fill up my crate every month and by the end of the month i filter out the ones i'm w/e about. but by that point, i look at the tracks i bought last month and there's always a few that i have never even played, and when i do i'm like man why did i buy this?? :whip: |

yeah. i wonder why I bought this tune, put in in a folder then leave it for a while.
come back few months, and my taste in music changed a bit, and I find that I actually like this tune. lol |

Same here man. When I first bought the Trentemoller remix of Les Djins, i thought it was crap because it's tough to mix it into anything. A couple months later, I came to love that track. It's absolutely brilliant. It's a tough feat to mix it into something but has worked great for me as a closing track. |

yes definitely
i always sort out what is in for me and what is out
although there is a difference between what I personally am bored with and what I can still play at a gig. I like having a lot of music to choose from |

| what i do to combat this is to listen on beatport pretty regularly and keep a list of tracks that i like. then when it comes time to buy i have a list to refer to and i go back and listen and try to buy the ones that still peak my interest the most. |

| I sort of fixed this by making myself keep tracks in my cart for 2 weeks at a minimum, so that if after 2 weeks the sample still doesnt sound interesting, it gets the ax. |

| This happens to me all the time.. It's very frustrating to see all the tracks accumulating in my mp3 collection. Or even worse, vinyls. :whip: |

I always used Les Djinns as an intro and then mixed into John Dahlback - Nothing is For Real (Mark Knight Remix). Always worked for me. |

| I have 4 carts...LOL. I keep one empty, and I use the remaining 3 to sort the tracks I am interested in into 3 genres: house, electro/prog, minimal/techno. I then keep them in the carts for a while and start picking off the weak tracks. When I am ready to purchase, I only buy enough tracks for a new demo/podcast mix. Or I'll buy whatever tracks I need for an upcoming gig. I buy a ton of tracks but I play out often and record mixes regularly so I play everything at least once. For my mixes for my demos or podcasts, I only use tracks once anyway. |
