    Yeah, man. It's blowing my mind that people openly admit to stealing tunes on this website.

    Another thing to think about if you're a dj that doesn't produce. A lot of producers hate dj'ing. They dj because they need to pay the bills and producing dance music doesn't do it. Every time they take a booking, they're taking a slot from a dedicated DJ.

    The industry is in such a horrible mess because we listen to complete albums before we buy them? Get over yourself. I have a massive vinyl collection, cd collection and digital collection that I have paid for plus I go to atleast 3 shows a month. How am I hurting the industry by previewing what I purchase? You never try clothes on before you buy them? Might as well bounce out of this thread...

    I don't steal the clothes and return the ones I don't want.

    I call bullshit on going back and actually buying the ones you like.

    My advice to the OP, depending on what you play --- if you want a "broad" library join a good record pool. That will give you a base to start with, normally songs that are considered hits, or top songs. From there you'll have an idea of artists, labels, etc. then you can dig based on what you like.

    Soundcloud is the new digging ---- tons of artist post great tracks on the for free as well, many with links to their Facebook requesting you like their fan page. No need to download 1000's of crappy tracks to then find out with handful you like, and pretend you are then going to find where to buy them.
