Digital "Importing?"
Digital "Importing?" Posted on: 26.06.2013 by Nancey Inderlied So heres a little issue thats been aggravating me waaay more than it should.First up, watch this mix, it's a bit old, but it's pretty interesting, and I figure I owe it to D&G to plug them at this point. Guy doesn't even turn auto-cue on and still slams the stream. So that was pretty good, and those Clubland Hardcore comps seem like a pretty easy way to build up a half-decent library of UK/HH. Minor problem: they're not released outside of the UK. Well thats easy, I believe, Ill just import the CDs, people have been doing that for ages, pay a few dollars extra and get some fun content basically nobody here has. Major problem: The pressed CDs are all mix CDs, with the 3rd disc of the comp being basically the video above. Hacked up sub-2min tracks being thrown around at exit velocity; a great mix, but not really playable tracks. Well here's the migraine part: iTunes/Trackitdown/etc all have the full, massive, extended versions of the comp, complete with the vocals and bootlegs split. And theres virtually no way to cheese the download region locks without a valid UK billing address. My local import record shop can't venture across the goddamn seas to get me the full versions of these tracks, but a chav in Peckham can download them all on his phone in 5 minutes via fucking iTunes. So uhhh... How does this work? Or does someone with a UK account want to help out? | |
