    Beatport vs ? (Amazon)

    for DJs is there any advantage of downloading from beatport?

    I decided after getting too many tracks with glitches in them

    (i think some of the glitches may be deliberate anti piracy - discussion for another thread please)


    glitches
    odd volumes
    incomplete
    youtube rips
    youtube rips re encoded to 320

    I decided to check out beatport

    I had sacked it off before because

    crappy flashy crashy shit
    charts seemed a bit fake
    price was more expensive
    shitty spam newsletter
    needed some sort of instal this instal that
    special program for just getting the tracks FFS
    special app needed setting for how the tracks are named

    it just went on

    -----


    but coming back to it today seemed better
    but then i checked amazon and beatport £1.12 amazon £0.62

    --

    browsing beatport is better than amazon....but..

    for DJs is there any advantage of downloading from beatport?

    will i get better spam newsletter based on what i buy (rather than beatport pop)
    are the tracks tagged correctly - (i might run a test compared to amazon)

    any input welcome

    Cheers guys

    the simple answer is...

    why pay double the price for the same product...

    looking at Beatport vs Amzon

    a 2 track EP

    £1.12 per track on beatport
    beatport = £2.24 for the ep

    Amazon £0.69 per track and £0.89 for both?
    amazon= £0.89

    -

    If I buy tracks from a beatport will i get good suggestions for recommended music (based on what i buy) or will the news letter be the same pap?

    will my buying preferences influence anything.

    other than a few exclusives
    is there any advantage to buying from beatport that i haven't realised?

    i might search on beatport and buy on amazon

    what i mean by crap newsletter is "nothing to interest me" like all the beatport chart wank circle jerking.


    I tried amazon bu tto download 2 or more files you need to instal some shit app made by idiots. because people cant download without it allegedly. i feel like writing to them saying "I download shit OK!"

    details of the stupid amazon thing

    boardreader.com/thread/Amazon_Downloader_uninstall_download_pro_6pn4hXb3i3.html

    so i just got all but one track on pirate searching using google search. i got one from a amazon because you don't need a amazon goofy downloader for one track (amazon's rules)

    i dont know why i try not to be a pirate

    legal donwloading is like legal highs ............mostly shit ........
