Music Stores

Places you can get music — digitally or physically

A handful of online MP3 and record stores. If you're still hunting after this list, the Tranceaddict forum has long-running threads with far more, broken down by region.

This list hasn't been checked for dead links since the site was rebuilt — several of these are from the mid-2000s and may no longer resolve. Treat it as a starting point rather than a guarantee, and let me know of anything that needs pulled or added.

MP3 download stores

• Beatport — one of the largest, closely tied to Native Instruments/Traktor
• DJDownload — clearly laid out search through charts and genres
• TrackItDown — good for tunes that are harder to find elsewhere
• AudioJelly
• Juno — vinyl, CDs and MP3 downloads
• DJMR — MP3 downloads plus a physical records arm
• 4djsonly — DJ community selling both digital and physical music

Vinyl and CD only

• Hard to Find Records — a long-running go-to for the harder-to-source tunes
• Replay Records — a reliable one I've come back to for years
• Banging Tunes — UK-based, vinyl, CDs and clothing, with MP3 previews
