Try contacting support, and the team over there may be able to help. They have only had their online store back up for roughly a year, so it's still a growing process, but keep an eye on them... I've been an advocate of theirs for years, as they are/were owners of the largest underground record store America (maybe the world) ever saw, with several locations on the east coast back when record stores were a thing. Also, they are heavily involved within the EDM community, as they have been throwing events for over 20 years now. Great set of individuals who are always happy to help, and have long running deep roots in the dance community.

already saving a bit of money there.
Lets say you buy 100 tracks
Beatport = $350
Juno = $275
Not to mention that you also save money for buying a whole release on juno it seems

Go Go Juno, I believe I found my true love haha
Also juno can convert their wavs to Flac and send it. +1 on that side as well.
They will also give you the cover art files in 700x700

31.07.2012		Most the songs I buy from Beatport are ranged from $1.49 - $2.49 Australian. I'm no mathematician or expert on the current exchange rate, but that's about half the price you're paying.

31.07.2012		All im saying Jack, is you're in the wrong place to start hating on music and telling people that if they're over 30 they need to change their taste in music or they are not trusted. im sorry
I guess i will never be "trusted" when I grow old since I love trance..... You know your comment on that was stupidly placed and was uncalled for. Guess you wouldnt know since you wouldnt trust yourself if you kept with listening to trance now would you?

Also YOU MUST BE A BIG SHOT DJ
/end sarcasm

31.07.2012		Pete Tong is an awful dj though, you can call that hate, or you can just accept that I've seen and heard him enough over the course of my life to have a valid opinion on him. He's fucking terrible.

31.07.2012		How is an accurate summation of the structure of most post-98 trance tracks and a paragraph extolling the virtues of old Euro tech trance 'hate'?



I'm guessing you're not exactly an old hand at all this dj business.

I used to like it was that sort of euro tech-trance sound, like old Prolekult and Noom records but then all that sort of split into techno and trance and, well, fuck trance

As for Pete Tong, he's an awful dj who plays terrible music on the most part. As I said, never trust anyone over the age of 30 still into it (no offense Backtothefront ).
wow so much hate

31.07.2012		If you play house music then you really ought to be checking Stompy Backtothefront, it's got as large a selection of deep/soulful house as Traxsource. Personally I exist on a diet of mostly Stompy, some Beatport, some Traxsource and a little Juno for re-edits.

I'm significantly over 30 and don't mind a bit of trance, what are you saying?
Wilson Durrum
31.07.2012		Most of the time if you can wait 2 or 3 weeks on the Beatport "exclusive" tracks for $2.49 they will be on iTunes for .99 or $1.29.

Juno is v good, I don't use Junodownload very often but in my vinyl days I would place a weekly order on Juno since the day the company started trading vinyl after developing from being a dance music resource. The text based website was brilliant and easy to navigate in the dial up days.

Traxsource is my main online store of choice as I play Soulful/Deep House but it can be expensive for the promos therefore I wait until a discount code pops up. I have to say iTunes is not a bad place for released tracks and the quality is good enough for club/bar use IMHO and the price point is better.

Beatport obviously is a big noise in the digital music trading arena but I do feel they've edged more to the commercial side of dance music which probably suits the domestic US market and you just have to look at the charts and featured tracks/artists to see where their leaning is. The genre tagging is not the greatest either but I guess that is subjective.

Corrin Penney
31.07.2012		I made the same carts in Juno and Beatport once, applied 25% off beatport code and it was STILL more expensive than juno!

Emusic ftw.

31.07.2012		Everyone in this thread that's complaining about the $2.50 tracks forget that's the Beatport Exclusive price, and the cost is usually 2/3rds that for an exclusive release. The non exclusives run in the sub $2 mark, with $7 closeouts on comps and albums from time to time.
