    I have no idea why this is, seems pretty stupid. But so long as its like that you're probably missing out on sales by not being on beatport.

    not anymore under their new price structure :hissyfit:

    Hmmmm
    They've changed the pricing to dollars....

    But the first track listed (soulmate - roots) costs $2.40 on trackitdown and $1.49 on beatport.

    Guy McAffer - blow your horn: Beatport $1.99, Trackitdown $2.40

    You can't be the smaller player and charge a load more for exactly the same track, delivered in the same method at the same quality. Its madness.

    If two record shops opened up next door to each other, one selling records for a fiver and another selling exactly the same for 8 pounds who would you go with?

    As a consumer you would even bother walking into the more expensive store. And as a businessman, you'd be more inclined to shift 100 units with the cheaper store than 5 in the more expensive store.

    I prefer the idea of track it down to bumraping beatports behemoth, but the pricing just makes no sense. You can't sell an identical product with a 50-100% markup when the same product is a available cheaper just a mouse click away.
