As a final scratch user I find these sites really usefull. More & more are popping up & there archives are getting bigger.
Since trawling these sites i've found artists & tunes i've never heard of, ie obscure russian techno. Ive now got hold of some tracks i wouldnt have been able to get before. I think mp3 downloads will potentially mean a more varied sets from dj's which can only be good.
Also these sites are giving relativly unknown artists some limelight & letting artists who have difficulty releasing tracks on vinyl release labels, release them on internet based mp3 labels.
alot of the tracks you find are not released on vinyl which also means as a digital dj you have a collection of exclusive tracks.
For me all of this makes mp3 downloading the future & a good future as well.
