    I've lost count of the times I have bought a track only to realise that I was sent it weeks previously or it was waiting on the promo website for me to download but I just hadn't been bothered to check.

    As for buying compilations - crikey I buy them for a bunch of tunes and end up with 7 or 8 versions of something. The worst culprit is deep house that I need for my Friday gig. Sometimes it's cheaper to just buy an album rather than 4 or 5 tracks off it.

    I would love to know what my collection was like without the duplicates. I have a plan for the next SSD I'm gonna install. I'm gonna copy my gigging SSD and then run whatever application does the job best and see just how much crap I can get rid of.

    Yeah, plenty of times. Both Beatport and Google Music. Probably more then I should have, but I'm not too worried. It's usually because the song was hella worth it.

    Oh man....I remember those days. Napster and my high school's T1 after hours was awesome. Those afternoons with our little pirate switch plugged into the back of the chem storage room are why I liked Metallica....which is pretty ironic in itself if you think about it.

    Napster. You filthy newcomer.

    We were trading mp2s (no joking) on Hotline for years before Napster.

    Can say I was never big on the sharing sites. Always bought my stuff. P2P in my day was borrowing some records from someone
    A majority does seem to come from complilations , but I am fine since they are priced so well you still get a great deal on it.

    Also noticed a lot of re-releases. Sometimes, I do not mind that because I can get a cleaner copy of a track I may have digitized off of my vinyl or bought on a lower bit rate (I encoded everything at 320, but would gladly take the lossless if it's re-released).

    Keep us posted on what program you find is best. That is definitely a project I've been avoiding :-/
