**Buying tracks adds up faster nowadays** Hi all. Is there any current listing of online music track stores anywhere? Beatport is draining my bank account. The ones I know of: > **[Account Suspended](https://www.trackitdown.net/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi)** > **[Beatport | DJ & Electronic Dance Music, Tracks & Mixes](https://www.beatport.com/)** > > Beatport is the world's largest DJ store: download and stream electronic dance music. Explore the new and exclusive music tracks out of the best electronic dance music. > **[Traxsource.com](https://www.traxsource.com/)** > > Download Real House and Electronic Music in AIFF, WAV and MP3 format [http://www.djtunes.com/](http://www.djtunes.com/) [http://www.juno.co.uk](http://www.juno.co.uk) Are there any others? Where do you shop? Beatport seems to be the most popular although I do not know other online track stores compare in terms of selection. I believe that the only main difference between all the stores could be the selection and/or maybe if the tracks they sell are MP3 or Lossless but Beatport has raised their prices and when you play $2.24 a track it ads up REALLY fast. I cannot buy as many tracks as I used to anymore. I’d also like to ask if anyone has seen any increase in usage of peer to peer file sharing apps for music. I use to use Soulseek about 10 years ago but nowadays it seems dead. I’d like to know: How do you get your music? Do you shop at beatport exclusively? Can you add any other stores or resources to this list? Any tips for saving money when buying tracks? I buy no more than 10 at time now from Beatport and I spent between $20 to $25 at least. Thanks ---

I’m pretty far into my first pass at a purge. Shrunk my library by around 50%, and still have a bunch of “maybes” to sort through… ---

The trick is to avoid getting rid of stuff that you might not play right now, but you enjoy. I have a bunch of mid 00s breaks that I keep around. ---

Locked in with beatport after subscribing to various artists/labels. Only purchase using coupons … which have become increasingly regular recently. Other than that, bandcamp.
