Beatport is win in terms of quality.
iTunes is terrible in every possible way.
Amazon has a great selection but 256kbps/vbr just doesn't do it for me.
Masterbeat looks nice, but I am unable to use it because of the name.

Honestly, none of them are that great. I would only buy CD maxis/unmixed comps if all I wanted was available. Amazon is the one I have had the fewest problems with. They don't have all the releases when I want them though. And certain releases have vanished from their site that I didn't get around to buying. iTunes has a good selection, but the quality is not good. And they are really annoying when you don't pay them. My credit card was recently declined because I had spent above my limit last month. And I couldn't pay them. It let me download the songs. It was for $1.99 by the way. I didn't have enough cash on hand to buy an iTunes gift card (gasoline and groceries have me tapped out). They kept warning me that I hadn't paid and then they de-authorized the songs so I couldn't listen to them. And I wasn't allowed to get the free items of the week. I went to the bank and got some cash. Bought the card. They left me alone. Once the card runs out, I won't be shopping there anymore. Perfectbeat is decent for downloads. The prices are a bit high. The selection is just okay. Getting better. Masterbeat is better. But very expensive for some of the titles. It's a better deal to buy the entire singles instead of individual mixes in some cases. Their selection is getting better and better. Beatport is decent too. Traxsource.com is another good alternative. They have some exclusives from some of the UK and European labels. And they have some releases which are not available digitally in some places or at all. The prices are in-between. The quality is good oops I forgot to put Beatport.com on there, how do I modify the list of options? You can't. It's okay. Masterbeat looks nice, but I am unable to use it because of the name. I suggest getting one of those pre-paid credit cards from the store. They have Visa, Mastercard, etc. I don't know if they sell them where you live, but they might. You pay for those with cash at a store. Then you can use it almost any place that credit card is accepted. Masterbeat looks nice, but I am unable to use it because of the name. You're joking, right? You can't possibly be serious! :o What's wrong with Master Beat? One of Masterbeat's early promotional slogans was, "Have you Masterbeated today?" I think he doesn't want to buy from there because maybe because he doesn't want that one showing up on the credit card statement because it might be someone else's. |

He doesn't want it to look like a sex site on his credit history. I guess I'd have the same prob with it if the site was called kiddiemasterbeat lol  |

I have to use some else's credit card, and they don't want "MASTERBEAT.COM DOWNLOAD FEE" written on their bill. Personally, if it was my bill, I couldn't care less what was on it.. MB doesn't really have much I'd go that far out of my way to buy anyways.. |
