I love the pricing scheme, I love that it's DRM-free, and I love that it gives independent artists a way to get noticed and spread their wares. I loved it so much that I drew a bunch of graphs showing how it's good for consumers:

    Also: tons of Matador Records artists
  • LANjackal, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Yep Beatport is really good, but they're pricer than most, sometimes charging $1.99 for a single track. I also find the everything-in-flash approach to be annoying. Personally, I prefer Amazon except for the fact that searches for anything other than an artist's name usually give crap results.
