I'm really confused here... I'm looking through beatport and theres a charts section... expecting this to be the top sellers or perhaps djs free charts... I see all these charts costing 15 bucks.
Seriously who pays for a chart? |

Yeah I've looked at charts before just to see what some DJ's are playing, but I would never buy someones month "top 10" or whatever. |

...perhaps some people will just wind up liking every track on that chart, but I'm sure most people just pick up the individual tracks they want.
I don't think any of them have ever been free, and most of them aren't included in their 'most downloaded' section. |

I can think of a few reasons.
A) They don't have decks
B) They aren't DJs
C) CDs often have bonus tracks the vinyl didn't have room for
D) CDs are easily duplicated
E) CDs are a lot easier to transport |

Whoever worships a certain DJ, and must possess all those tunes?  |

H) CDs take up much less space to store
I) CDs are more widely available to buy |

J) I can download and burn my own.
Oh wait, that's a reason NOT to buy them. |

Or indeed the 2x12" packages. |
