La musique est une histoire sans fin

If you like electronic music and purchase music downloads, there’s a great chance you bought some music on Beatport. This website, which launched with a $1.29 pricetag continuously raised its prices, up to $2.49 these days for exclusives (for MP3 320k and AAC 192k versions)

I suspected some fake exclusives, but I didn’t think that trickery was that important. When I recorded my last DJ set, I built a new features for the DJ Hedonist mobile app. You will be able to purchase the tracklisting through iTunes Store when track is available. Having bought half of my tracks as exclusives on Beatport, I didn’t expect to find as many tracks available on iTunes (With $0.99 price tag, and a better audio quality: AAC 256k)

Out of 7 announced as exclusives on Beatport, not less than 3 are available on iTunes. Here is the list if you want to check by yourself:
Mark Knight, Mannheim, Toolroom
Plaupez, L’Ame d’un Singe, Le Bien et le Mal
Gino’s & Kiko, Pink Loco, Eklektisch

OK, Beatport could say that labels are responsible, but in any case, it shows that neither Beatport or those labels respect their consumers. They may announce that they have Wave exclusive, but they should find some other reasons to continue charging us 2.49 for MP3s and AACs…
