| I know you can buy 320kbps MP3s at www.audiojelly.com but I'm wondering if you can get .wav files anywhere. That would be more than ideal. I just got some crazy pimp headphones and would like to feed them the best they can get. |

At the price they're charging, it gets insanely expensive to buy enough to fill a CD. I don't think this price model can possibly last - it's highway robbery.
Don't believe me? Think about it. The cost of each wave greatly exceeds the equivalent cost of a track on a CD, and you don't even get liner notes or anything physical. These tracks should cost less - not more! - than their physical counterparts. There is some advantage to be have through the convenience of selection (let's face it - most CDs contain only a few songs we might buy individually), but I still think the pricing is nuts.
It won't last though, I'm sure of it. MP3 trading is out - WAV trading is the new thing. This is only going to increase as available space and bandwidth go up. They're going to have to knock down the price to stay afloat.
That being said, I've spent far too much money there, stocking up on waves :)
P.S. sometimes I forget that us psytrance fans are spoiled, since all we buy are CDs... for the vinyl buyer, beatport's prices are still economical by comparison. |

tis indeed very expensive. Over here we pay $5 for a cd singlr, usually 3-5 mixes in a case. Now at beatport we pay US$2 plus another dolloar for wav, so about AUS$4.40 for one mix we have to burn ourselves. We're basically paying for convenience and range.
Found out the hard way though that it isn't always convenient. Bought 25 wav's from beatport, that took a hell of a long time to download at home.
Despite all that I never buy mp3's anymore if I can find the track anywhere on wav.
magneticgrooves.com has had wav download for quite a while as well |
