Where to download dance music?

[marcgti6]

Where do you lot download your dance music?

I've not downloaded any new stuff for a while. I've previously used places like Kazaa, Limewire etc which have all been free.

Limewire got worse and worse before I stopped using it a couple of years ago. A lot of corrupt files and incorrect labelling. Is it still as bad as it was?

I've got a couple of decent tunes from Torrents recently but it's a bit of a ball ache when searching for individual songs.

I usually just download what I've heard out and about and from mates. I used to use the Radio One tracklistings to come across the odd tune as well.

So, where can I try next? I don't mind paying for stuff but are there any reliable free sources nowadays?

Cheers

As long as you don't mind a bit of hunting, iTunes can throw up some gems.

Also, search for "Party Ben"

You could always have a root through PHer Don1's mixes:

If you're paying:

www.beatport.com
www.audiojelly.com
www.trackitdown.net

or iTunes.

If you're going the free way then yeah, youtube. If you're planning on djing with the mp3 or anything then a conversion from youtube won't be good enough quality. Most djs have a weekly radio show or free podcast available on iTunes. What kind of stuff are you looking for?

Another vote for beat port.
You can find some good mixes on soundcloud.
