Jon Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I often find it hard to buy mp3 versions of tracks I want to play out and in the past I have had to result to file sharing sites in order to find the song i've been after. I thought it would be a good idea to list the sites everyone buys their mp3s from if they buy mp3s for djing or for home listening so that we all have a greater range of mp3 buying resources. At the moment I'm using: beatport.com <-dubstep/drum and bassbeatsource.com <- hiphop/reggae/dubjunodownload.com <- all genresbreakbeat.co.uk <-drum and bassboomkat.com <- left field/experimental stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdiggla Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Bump to this. I used to buy regular singles through Amazon. Last I checked they did away with the mp3 cart and you could only buy a song one at a time which is miserable. There are some tunes I wanted to buy... just regular iTunes/Amazon shit. Any other options for a normal release other than iTunes or Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHouse Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I too bought mp3s off of Amazon back in the day, but they were all shit. They claimed the files were 320 kbps, but after listening to them, they appeared to be compressed further (e.g. 128k), then boosted back up. They sounded ultra paper thin and distorted. Fuckers. I'm definitely interested in buying (mainstream) tracks for DJing purposes, but they gotta be quality files. So yeah, if anybody knows where to buy them, aside from itunes/Amazon, I'm open.

djdiggla Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Shit that sucks. I've never noticed issues but just do whatever their standard size is. I quit using iTunes because of libary/DRM restrictions. But likewise, looking for place to buy mainstream tracks both for just listening to and DJing with.

TBearOne8III Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 i've just been using amazon lately. I did notice the missing mp3 cart though. if you get stuff from bandcamp, you can get flac files or mp3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I've never quite detached myself from iTunes, though nothing I buy there is super-niche. It seems pointless when I pay for Spotify Premium and can just use that for 99% of stuff, but I feel like I am supporting the artist better buying from iTunes even though I have no idea whether that is true.

I've been looking for a high quality mainstream MP3/FLAC site for a long minute and this one fits the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Bump. Any new suggestions. Particularly for non-dj formatted tracks. I used to buy from Amazon but they are so stupid now they make it impossible. Not an Apple fan since they don't let you redownload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
