    Is Beatport taking over your life?

    I cant stay off this website.

    Ive actually come home from being out drinking and the first thing i have done is go straight on to Beatport. My bed times are getting later and im getting bags under my eyes.

    To all my fellow addicts - how can i cure this addiction thats burning a large hole in my pocket?

    I dont know wether i should be smiling or not! :oops:

    An intravenous dose of dc++/soulseek every time your download queue looks big can help.

    I've just had to whittle my download queue from £100 down to about £30 (and ban myself from using when stoned), it was a sorrowfull time but the best £30 I ever spent. Loads of good new music now though, you don't realise how much good music there is untill you get in on the beatport action.

    Also the my artists/labels bit is unreal. :love:

    it's fucking addictive.

    you search for a tune you've heard and like, it then throws another four or five at you that are just as good, then you find more related to those...

    it's way too easy to buy stuff off there, must... learn... control... :oops: :D

    Innit.

    Another handy thing is the bit at the bottom where it says ''users that brought this also brought.'' Unless thats what your on about?

    Its such a good site. I still think £1 extra for a wave is a bit steep - if you buy 10+ you should pay a bit less imo.

    Im not surprised considering 5000 new tracks are added every week.

    I use Beatport for reference but i never buy anything from there, that company is a disgrace.

    def good as a reference as the pages are easy to navigate - especially if you are looking for something in particular

    pisses me off that when im searching by say genre 1in 10/20 or more is decent. Whatever happend to quality control!!!! However we knew this was to be expected with the digital age :mad:

    Any old moron can setup a label these days so its no surprise.

    It makes me laugh when you see adverts like


    "The newly formed, Mo'Selecta Recordings, is looking for new material , please send us your music"

    What was the point of setting up label if you have nothing to release :lol:

    I love that word havent heard it in ages :lol:

    you are reet what you say like - But there is no real way to police these Digital Labels

    thats why vinyl filtered out the shite - nobody would front up cash for pressings of shite so quality control was tight.

    ps www.beatmatcher.net is good to find alternative sites to beatport

    no point in paying £1.99 when you can pay $1.99
