It’s really depressing. one of the best parts of dancehall is its exclusivity but now exclusivity is taken to a bare minimum. for the people putting hours of effort to take the site down should now take the appropriate step and build an even better site that offers the music legally. If he could do it illegally, someone can do it legally. I’d say that the death of audiomaxxx is a double edged blade for both the fans and the artists. Artists especially who support the end of this site should utilize the opportunity to remake a site that expands the industry.

Beatport has got it. Or actually their new “urban” alternative BeatSOURCE has it. I’m pretty happy with them when paying for stuff. ts’all DRM free and 320 and all that. Just sucks to have to log in to two sites now to find stuff.

oh, and, check your gmail homes ;)

I think you are spot-on with the albums v. tracks thing. This is a major weirdness in the North American music industry. The pop ideal is in albums even though everyone I know just wants to hear awesome singles.

Is the digital download the cassingle?

Also, I spent 5 minutes searching amazon for Tek Weh Yuhself with no luck! You have the magick touch. Thank you!

Same thing happens in Jamaica, sort of…I acquired my version of Tek Weh Yuh Self from some dude hawking mix CDs at Hellshire. I don’t even know where you would go to find legit CDs with everything on a riddim or even just the hot hits of the week.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem here is the assumption that music comes in “albums” when, for dancehall culture, that’s often just not the case. I’m curious if you think that’s totally off-base or not…

That said:

But I don’t know if 256 kbps can be counted as “high quality”…
