Quadrant Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Just interested where people shop... I personally like DJDownload: free tokens given away, nice prices for 320s. Juno is also solid. I don't like Audiojelly anymore: territory restrictions, all in Euros not Pound Sterling, and (greedily) they charge extra if it's a new release. Opinions away, sirs!

Max Kane Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 DJDownload are awesome, easily the best player & their customer service is magnificent. Definately the winner imo. I do like beatport but today I'm having real trouble as the audio clips won't work on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardaway Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I use Junodownload, Beatport and Trackitdown, All great in my opinion, even thou Beatport can be a little prce compared to the others, but seem to get the best exclusives to certain tunes.

Tremor Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Ive used Audiojelly, DJ Download, Beatport, Trackitdown I think DJ download is the best for price and rewarding the customer. Never really had any issues. Audiojelly have been fine for customer service when I've had the occasional corrupt file or something. They are a little pricey though Trackitdown another good one in my experience. The website is a bit of a faff sometimes though - I hate that when u browse the new releases, if you click on a track to view its details and then press back in the browser, it always goes back to page 1 even if you were on page 3 before or something.. very tedious. Beatport - had a bad experience with a random charge of £20 taken from my account when I was using some loyalty token or something and they basically charged me when it should have been free. Customer service was useless and did nothing about it. I only recently started using them again but will only use paypal from now on... dont trust them with my card details on record.

Moonman Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Trackitdown.net. I like the website design, and i like they always have artwork (i use Traktor Scratch so i like to have the artwork too). Trackitdown just tend to get the house stuff i really like. They're good for trance too. Beatport is my second favourite. The website design is easily the best/most powerful, but they are expensive and i cant get the artwork! Djdownload, although the needle drop is a good idea, the rest of the website seem bland. But i do check them occasioanlly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Doctor Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Only around 10-15% of my music purchases are digital downloads. However, I have used the following: Juno Download, Beatport and Trackitdown. Of those I'd rank them in this order: 1) JunoDownlaod - Same great service and quality of the physical store. 2) Track-it-down - Good selection of tunes, good value for money. 3) Beatport - Generally expensive, slow and not much cop. I've only used this when I can't find what I want on the other two. I'd say there is quite a large gap between 2 and 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 - DJDownload.com are top for me. I love their Needledrop player and their rewarding of loyal customers with free tokens as someone mentioned above. - Label's own website... often the smaller labels are a goldmine for finding that elusive track - and right on the doorstep too. - CDJshop has been quite good to me for the occasional Anjunabeats release. I even bought a zip-up top from there as well. - Juno's good reputation is well-known, it's very good now but I bought more vinyl from there in the past rather than mp3s.

MikeW Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 DJ Download is my favourite. The needle drop player is excellent & overall it's very straight forward to use. Also it's great to be rewarded with a free token every now & then... Beatport would probably follow second, even if it does take AGES to load at times. Mind you, that could also be my bloomin' internet connection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aza Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 DJD initially got me on board because of Paypal option and no charges like Audiojelly for my card. I like trackitdown too and also juno... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 CDJShop is pretty good, I used to hate shopping there but the use of loyallty points is a nice touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 CDJ is always bad when it tries to charge you shipping for mp3's I voted for DJD, I use that mostly along with Juno and occasionally Beatport. I dont use Audiojelly or Xpressbeats anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'm pleased people have shunned audiojelly - I used to like them but for some reason I never ever go there. The prices being in Euros also worries me. I live in England and in England we use the Great British Pound Sterling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 DJ Download for me - again, because of the player - plus their prices are good, and they reward you with free downloads. Trackitdown - Mainly because they have more Hard Trance and Techno than any other website, so they suit my style more. The only gripe is, their "new releases" section is often weeks old and quite stale. Its not very easy to find new releases on there. I used to use Audiojelly a lot, but now it seems to be over-satured with girly Above & Beyond-esque floaty Trance. Their prices can take the p*** a bit at times too. Beatport was also good, but their "new, improved" website is actually worse and a step backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadrant Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Well I for once enjoy a bit of the lighter Trance - not too much of course - but a small dashing of it for me is, well, essential.

Max Kane Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I used to use Audiojelly more than anywhere else but they gradually increased their prices & started charging for using a debit card. I avoid them at all costs now. Their only saving grace is they sometimes get the Armada exclusives but they rip you off for those too. I know beatport can seem a little pricey sometimes but at least they don't hike up prices to £2.39 for exclusives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Anyone else know any other reputable download stores for electronic music? I am keen to explore some more housey- and progressive-focussed ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Only other one I have used in the past is DJTunes.com it's not the best but sometimes it allows you to buy tunes which are territory restricted elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 3 Beat Digital used to be pretty good - they often had tunes available that beat the territory restrictions, but that seems to have closed down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 PvD also had a huge online store on VonYC, but then one day it disappeared. Any more useful download stores which people find, do post them in here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
