Buying Tracks

**Paka Ono** · 02-24-2011, 07:31 PM

This is another thing I have started doing recently as well. Some people might have a problem with this, but I don't seeing as the artist gets paid.

Anyways...

www.amazon.com They only sell 256K bitrate mp3s, however they have a huge collection! And what I have found is that for some songs they are the only site that has them. So I find the 320K version to download and then buy it on Amazon.

Have to support those artists!

So if Amazon is the only place the song is available and it's only available from them at 256 where did the blog get the 320 version? I guess the could have gone out and bought the CD, but I doubt that's the case in most cases. My guess is that you're lucky if it's a 256 and not something worse that's just been run through Audacity to make it 320. We all know how well that works.

There are some blogs out there that get their stuff from beatport and whatnot.

Well the point he made in justifying it was that it wasn't available as a legal download at 320 so he bought it at 256 and downloaded it from a blog. My point was, in short, I doubt that blog's 320 is actually a 320.

This site is great, thanks for the link. Trackitdown looks pretty good too. I sometimes hit turntablelab.com which has a nice digital store (and I used to buy vinyl from them religiously). More often than not though I feed my addictions through amazon, emusic, and juno. I can't stand beatport but sometimes it's the only place to find things.
