Sorry headband, I think you misunderstood my initial post, possibly because it's unclear. I meant to say that I am a crate digger digitally, as in using the computer instead of actually digging in crates. I'm actually all about collecting and playing vinyl.headband wrote:Also I find it deeply ironic you consider what you do "crate digging." Applying that logic that it's a shame that everyone has access to the most beautiful tracks wouldn't you assume that vinyl DJs also feel that way about digital DJs??
This is actually the reason why I posted this message. I was waiting to buy a copy of Semprini Risin, wasn't expensive at all untill it got ID'd in an arpiar set. Immediately the prices were sky high if the record was for sale even. Track ID'ing in this way is shitty because of the fact that those records you found by searching for them, are gone in an instance and come back for ridiculous prices. However, there are more than enough records next to those ID'd ones. It could be used as a motivation to do something different than what everyone else is playing. I agree that the story isn't that one-sided as I wrote in my first post. I still enjoy the music no matter what. Sharing is caring and sometimes a little (financial) bump in the road can be avoided by focusing on buying other records, or making more of the records you already own.ray parry wrote:yeah i agree with all of what john said. the problem for me lies when someone on discogs puts the price to more then 100£. I dont mind paying 20-30 for a track, but when someone finds out that raresh has played a track and then puts it for 100£ it just fucks me off.
