There were some sites that told you how to do it, when beatport changed from 'all $' to euro, $ and £. You can also get around the territory restriction this way.

EDIT:
But the price-model is like this:

Exclusive Classic / New Release General
USD $2.49 $1.99 $1.49
GBP £1.73 £1.30 £1.12
EUR €2.17 €1.56 €1.30

so I guess they compensated quite fine for this, right?

1.30€ = 1.76$

1.12£ = 1.79$

Brits are fucked.

Canada wins.

everyone thought they were getting ripped off because everyone was initially paying the same dollar rate... which depending on where you lived made the mp3s cheap...

there was uproar as soon as you had to start paying in your local currency,.

what cloutier said kind of confused me, because that would mean evey dj on the planet who uses cdjs, could only use wav files for burning and playing out audio cds, at least if he wanted to do things correctly.. i mean, its logic, that wav on a certain soundsystem sounds different or better (or not, who knows) than 320. but isnt it common (which ofcours must not mean right) to do just burn audio cds with 320 files?

junger, also, you you do use your channel gains to set your levels for each turntable / CDJ when you are mixing, right? Therefore the fact that line is louder than phono is of no relevance as is the fact that some mp3 tracks are louder than other mp3 tracks or some vinly pressings are louder than other vinyl pressings. That's what the gains at the top of each channel / fader are there for.
