Where do you get your digital music from?
Where do you get your digital music from?
I am doing a little market research at the moment...
Was just wanting to see where people bought their electronic music (ie. drum & bass, electro, experimental, dubstep, breaks) from online.
Maybe a little something about why you go there too. There is a poll but if your shop isn't there then could you say where you go.

Re: Where do you get your digital music from?
beatport standard. I dont understand other shops..
Re: Where do you get your digital music from?
I do actually get most of mine from beatport. i find its way quicker to use and browse and the selections are more in line with my taste than say something like boomkat. Also the player loads way quicker.
but the player would be better if it let you listen to the whole track like on Boomkat. The boomkat one is slower though.
Juno download is fucking shiteful. so slow to use and browse. just terrible.

That's it - I'm checking out Boomkat. Shits me to tears that I can't hear the whole track on Beatport.
Also, another thing about Beatport that really annoys me is that "Recent Releases" tab or whatever it is, isn't recent at all. FFS, how hard is to get that thing to auto-fill, there's 2009 releases on the second page of the DNB "recent" section.
Boomkat.... BOOM!
PS: I use Bigpond Music for non-dance orientated music. iTunes pisses me off. 256kbps, more expensive, and DRM protected - bigpondmusic.com is not any of these, but does have a smaller range (still got most popular hip-hop and rock though).
Re: Where do you get your digital music from?
^ Boomkat does have a slow player... doesn't play all of the first tune I looked at either....
EDIT: other tunes seem to play fine, but what's with the lack of listing or searching by genre? Is this against the site's too-cool-for-fools ethos?

Re: Where do you get your digital music from?
This is deffo what I don't like about Boomkat. I find it incredibely hard to find stuff I actually like. And each tune has a lengthy review that sounds like it was written by someone from 3000.Direkt wrote:^ Boomkat does have a slow player... doesn't play all of the first tune I looked at either....

Boomkat reviews are actually written by a robot that is programmed to write like Mary Anne Hobbes.mrj wrote:This is deffo what I don't like about Boomkat.

Re: Where do you get your digital music from?
I thought itunes changed their drm conditions?
Used to be that when you bought a track it was usually in .aac format and unconvertable, meaning you could only play it within an apple program (itunes or quicktime) or on an apple personal player (ipod or iphone). This setup effectively meant that apple retained ownership of anything bought from itunes
Now you can convert anything (as far as I'm aware) to .mp3 format and do whatever you like with it, legally of course. Granted the audio quality is generally sub standard, but you own the file nonetheless

Re: Where do you get your digital music from?
boomkat writing - lol'King Night' is their defining statement, eleven tracks of devastating, slo-mo MPC drum fills worthy of Araab Music, fused to nuclear synth bursts delivered with an achingly blank insouciance, all smeared in acetone-wet MDMA and left to degrade in a Michigan basement until it's nerves are permanently polarised, fluctuating between extreme, saccharine euphoria and melancholy misanthropy. Inside you'll find the revamped 808-rolling genius of 'Redlights' from their 'Yes, I Smoke Crack' debut 7", the slow nosebleed beauty of 'Traxx', sounding like Seefeel on a codeine overdose, next to the narco-saturated E and E-esque synth saturation of 'Sick', and the supremely uncomfortable MBV intensity of 'Release Of The Boar'
i quiet like reading them, thesaurus OD IMO

Re: Where do you get your digital music from?
I like beatport, it's quick and easy. The follow artists/label function is really useful. I also go to trackitdown and Juno cause Beatport doesn't have everything.
Re: Where do you get your digital music from?
beatport & juno

Re: Where do you get your digital music from?
I'd say beatport is probably the least user friendly I've seen... dnbarena is so easy, dj download is pretty easy too... also beatport on anything except super fast internet is horrible. very VERY bloated website
