Anyone else notice the lack of Mp3 tracks as opposed to vinyl releases? Next Generation has been keeping up to date on their files, but Serious Sounds hasnt had any updates lately and Essential Platinum have released a lot of tracks recently.

Labels still need to keep up with the Vinyl Releases or its bye bye hardcore.
I dont think hardcore will survive without Vinyl.
:D
I have seen MP3 is lacking releases.

Its because the labels make the bulk of their money in vinyl sales, not in digital. Labels doing THAT WELL, are actually able to run a digital store, press vinyl, and still make some moolah!

Because most people with the vinyl still rip it to wav or mp3. (At least, most that I know; I certainly do)

I find it annoying is well.
Yes, vinyl is important, but honestly I wouldn't mind more labels keeping their mp3 stores up to date. I'm just a kid and vinyl is expensive compared to mp3 downloads. I don't DJ (with real turntables, anyway) and when I want to rip to the computer I have to borrow my dad's equipment. That can take a while!

I don't like CDJs, they're so loose and feel unstable and cheap. And yeah I know they're not unstable and cheap, usually they cost around € 1200, but I still don't like their feeling, they feel like plastic toys for me. TTs FTW !
