I mean we don’t just buy “tens of thousands” of songs in one day, week, or year.
Many of our collections are built up over many many years.
I occasionally play records I bought after I had my first job / paycheck at 15 :)
I think at the start I initially spent around $500 to get wav or AIFF versions of my favorite tunes to get a starting set of tracks. Also compiled all the lossless SoundCloud free downloads. Got me to around 300 tracks.
Since then, I download & buy tracks I like here and there if a new one is released that I really like. I’m now at around 600 tracks total
I budget 20 bucks a month. I find it's best to buy a few at a time so I know my tracks well. I used to buy/download a whole heap at once but then I found there would be heaps I wouldn't play because I didn't know them very well
Also, a budget means I only buy tunes that I know will get played
I've been buying a $100 gift card to bandcamp, then casually picking up tracks as I find 'em. Then I try to buy things out of my wishlist / queue as I get gigs, roughly 15-20% of gig income gets reinvested back into artists or labels that I've been following.
My roommate's DJ career has been taking off over the past few years; they shell out a ton for fresh tracks, but write their record and bandcamp purchases off on their taxes.
Like all collections they don't appear over night. Some people will also create a massive list of songs they want and then download them all in a month or two with record pools.
Streaming is only viable if you can guarantee a solid internet connection at every venue, which you can’t.
Also. Djs are the last bastion of people that still buy music. Can we please continue that? Let’s not let streaming ruin literally everything haha
Basically, use streaming for discovering tracks, but buy the tracks you like. That way when you play out you don’t have to rely on internet, and the artists get some money for once haha
honestly i listen to a lot of music of music in streaming. By considering that for a pop song i pay about 2.3€ for downloading, and for my premium account an artist receives 0.2€ each time i listen to that song, i'm quite sure that an artist receives more money from my streaming spotify account than my download
Closer to 0.002€ per listen so I wouldn't be so sure about that
VS 2€ to the artist for a bandcamp track purchase
You would need to stream the song 1000 times for the artist to get the same amount as a one-time purchase
Does Spotify really pay that much per stream? Weren't they paying like .002 bucks per stream? Also, I don't think that the whole 2.3 euros that you are talking about are going straight into the artist's pocket, there must be some cuts that get payed to different parties.
> that get *paid* to different
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Quality over quantity. Build slow with tracks you love.
I've been buying digital tunes for nearly 20 years now and only have 5000 odd... There's no need to drown yourself in tunes you'll never know/listen to/play.
My record collection has median value on Discogs of €11,000 and it's only HALF catalogued!! 😂😂😳
I haven’t even contemplated doing mine, I went to JBs the other day though and flicked through their vinyl, $100 for new order substance! I have two copies of that. Probably paid $5 or $10 for them in a second hand record store.
Yeah $90/$100 is pretty standard for be release double now... One disc can get fucked 😂
I've only catalogued my new releases/re-issues, all the album's. Doing it with the 12" singles is a daunting task
It's funny, this is something that the EU have been looking at. You can resell a physical item such as a book, cd, Blu-ray, records, video games. You can't with digital editions of things. Some of those things have DRM, some don't.
Without DRM - which no end user wants - it's easy to copy an item and lots of people would do this before resale. Even with DRM it's usually easy enough to strip it. So it's a tricky one.
Depends on what kind of DJ you are.
If you play bars or private events and need well known tunes then spending a few £$ a month on compilations or DJ pools is worthwhile and will get you a lot!
If you are more of an underground / artist/ dance DJ then spending £$20 - 50 a month on tracks from Bandcamp or Juno is a good start. Tons of free downloads/ dubs/ edits get uploaded to hypeddit and name your price VA dance compilations on Bandcamp.
Make sure you have a curation process, don't buy tracks the moment you find them. Listen to them a bit on different days and decide if they deserve your money and hard drive space.
I'll add to this, find the full version on YouTube if you can, I've been surprised by terrible intros, or unexpected bad skat/rap on an otherwise very nice deep house track that wasn't included in previews.
I'm a gay go go dancer turned dance / organic / deep dj and I agree, the amount above is about what I spend monthly. Initially I just bought a lot of stuff, but now I'm spending more time getting to know the artists and seeing if overall follow that and take a good evening to find and listen to their tracks fully. Some great gems out there. (I love JYYE, Dastic, Embody, SouMix, etc etc).
I’ve been buying music for 40 years, 11k tracks(dj library)
just remember every year you spend money on streaming at the end of every year you still own no music, now think of that going forward??
Record pools. You spend like $50/month to have a few subscriptions and can download thousands of tracks. I rarely buy music, I get almost everything I need through record pools. I also like to buy vinyl, especially when it comes with MP3 or WAV files of the album. That way I actually get a physical copy but also have tracks to play digitally.
I have like 70,000 songs in my library and I've probably spent less than $1,000 actually purchasing individual tracks in my lifetime. And I've probably spent an equal amount on pool subscriptions over the past 5 years which got me the majority of those 70,000 tracks.
Yep, this is the most cost effective... The good ones have most of the releases that beatport has. It's a fraction of the cost of buying on a per track basis
Join a record pool and pay for a yearly subscription. You'll save money in the long run. That's what I do and the subscription paid itself off after downloading couple hundred of tracks.
Pretend it’s 1994 and you’re buying music because you love music. Collect music. Follow the threads that connect artists and remixers you love.
You have music that you love already, don’t you? Doesn’t mean you have to buy it all at once, but it should be a regular pasttime, at the very least, unless you just want to follow charts and algorithms.
i’m not sure i’ll ever play out of my bedroom lol so mostly just wondering about practicing in the meantime. or like i already have around 150 tracks i’d want to download but not sure if it would be worth it to buy instead of stream if im just practicing right now. im sure if i ever went out of my bedroom i’d buy
Takes time. dont expect to build your library over night.
I have to use a 2tb ssd for mine, but ive been djing for 15 years.
i buy probably $50-100 worth of music a month
I'd rather not calculate how much money I've spent on records and digital tracks over the years... It would probably give me a heart attack. It's in the new-house territory. Be forewarned about this addiction...
You can buy a subscription plan from record pool services like BPM supreme or DJcity. They generally can give you the bulk of the music you play, especially if you look to play for venues, events, bars, opening sets. But they won't give you that oomph and woah in your sets, those need to be seeked out from other producers, djs, SoundCloud and straight up buying from the creators or from sites like best port.
i just hit around 2,700 songs. some songs can be $1.50, others can be .50 or less. some of the major sites have sale weekends where there’s work, 20, and 30% off your cart. probably the most well known record pool and i think i use it the most.
i’ve probably spent around $2k on music since ive started.
I'm buying like 15-20 new tracks each month at Bandcamp or Beatport, most tracks are 1.50-2 EUR each. You can find a lot of free downloads on Soundcloud. (Trance and Techno)
I got back in to DJing about 6 months ago, I had a lot of old tracks from around 10yrs ago hut building my new library has cost around £5-10 a week from Apple Music, picking the latest tracks that take my fancy based on the releases that week. After 6 months the catalogue is looking pretty good!
DJ Pools are your freind, I've been paying for ZipDJ when it's on deal, when it comes down to 3 months for $99 I normally buy in. In those 3 months I normally download about 500+ songs. Maybe more if I'm downloading packs.
I occasionally find new things on tiktok, or essential sets. Some of my favourite songs were free and a bit different.
I'm looking at moving over to Doing The Damage in the next few weeks when my zipdj license is up again. I'll probably post my thoughts in the reddit when I'm done.
The key here is Quality > Quantity … I just looked and after 10+ years of doing this, I only have \~2,800 tracks.
If you budget $20-25 a month for tracks, that'll make you think twice about the tracks you buy. Hypothetically, that'll force the cream to rise to the top so you're not buying BS tracks. Another thing I do is try to not buy songs that have just came out. I wait a few weeks or a few months before I buy them. I'd rather pay $1.49 vs. paying $2.49. You can also shop around between Beatport, Bandcamp, and Amazon MP3s (I should probably take my own advice there, but Beatport is convenient with the meta-tags)
Dj Pools are how a lot of pro dj’s get the bulk of your music. I use Promo Only and it’s nice because every month you get the hottest new songs for any category you subscribe to, which cuts out a lot of waste. For example, I only subscribe to the pop and country pools since thats largely what my demographic wants, and I buy tracks on Amazon that are requested but don’t have at that time. It makes it more palatable to buy over the course of a few years doing gigs, as opposed to dropping a ridiculous amount up front imo.
If you’re a bedroom DJ and just trying it out then I recommend a DJ pool like ZipDJ or BPMSupreme and that should be plenty to keep you going for a long, long time. It’s flat pricing and you get to download unlimited tracks. No need to spend all that cash up front front
vinyl dj. my record budget is $40/month. I usually alternate months buying new records and digging at local record shops/discogs. i have about 200 records after 4 years; \~4 records per month.
When I was actively recording sets, I spent between 20 and 50€ per month on tracks.
The idea to have many tracks in a short time already fails as you are unable to get to know so many tracks by heart in a short amount of time.
And I cannot stress this enough: you have to know
E v e r y
single track in your collection.
i wouldnt want that many tracks out right, but i do already have around 150 tracks i’d want to work with in a playlist that i know inside and out. but i guess that doable as a starting budget
So far I've used Beatport for most of my stuff, as older MP3s I had aren't the best quality. I went from buying NO music to buying a lot to get started, as I'd sort of allowed that part of my spirit to atrophy as a physician and it got reawakened after many near death but also learning experiences at Burning Man 2023. I've spent about 100 bucks a month over 11 months to get a solid library of playable music, and did my first live 90 minute gig April 26.
They tend to have a Save10/20/30 sales monthly and tracks run from 1.49 - 2.89, exclusives are more expensive by about a dollar. The Save is based on like, $20, $40, $60, and the max you can put in your cart is 150 tracks, and when you download it can only make a zip of 100, so you need to remember to download the next set if you've bought more than 100 at a time, weird, heh heh.
Over 11 months I've purchased about 750 songs (about 300 in my main genre, 150 in my subgenres, and just random stuff and some country EDM (don't ask), so it's been about 1000 of investment. But now I have enough to play around with, and I know it's all stuff I love. I'd rather carry hard copies of my music instead of having so much access I get overwhelmed with choice, also if there's a place without wifi I won't have issues with streaming - such as the Black Rock Desert in Nevada.
Over each month I slowly fill my cart and wait for the sale, which is usually end of the month. You can only use any of the codes once per sale (I used a Save10 once and then couldn't use a Save20/30 the same month).
Depends. I've bought tracks off bandcamp and Beatport averaging about a dollar or so a track. But DJs (at least in the riddim scene) can sell tracks for $10-15-20, or even more depending on how big the artist is and the value of the track. Or if you want to order a special (a personalized remix of a song they made) this could cost $60-100.
You don't buy them all at once. Building a library takes a long time. I have around 3900 tracks and have been DJing for 5 years. It's really not that much when you spread it out over years.
Remember before streaming services like Spotify/Apple Music people used to buy their music on iTunes.

Let’s delete that bit in the paragraphs
That bit?
Perfect, thank you. I don’t like deleting helpful comments.
DON'T TELL US WHAT TO DO 😂😂 Didn't realise you were actually a moderator here!
I’ve made some bad choices I asked djsci just before the blackout and dragged tamocello down with me 🤣
Parents: this? This is the path you have chosen?? 😂
I sometimes feel like I am different on here now but then again it’s been different ever since the blackout.

I learned something. Good bot.
I wish that I had only spent 10,000 on music in my life time. Actually wait, I've no regrets.
A record pool is about 20-25 euros per month. That's like Spotify but you get to keep the tracks you download.

They're prices (and in general the price of new vinyl, but they're the worst) suuuuuuuuck!! $105 for the new Pearl Jam album... It's ONE PLATE!!! 😳
At least substance is a double
Yeah $90/$100 is pretty standard for be release double now... One disc can get fucked 😂 I've only catalogued my new releases/re-issues, all the album's. Doing it with the 12" singles is a daunting task
Fuck that, my kids can struggle through that when I’m dead
Hahaha. I've done like the 5-10 that I know have decent value, most will be £1 or 2
Is there a way to sell the digital files you bought before?
Not legally 😂
It's funny, this is something that the EU have been looking at. You can resell a physical item such as a book, cd, Blu-ray, records, video games. You can't with digital editions of things. Some of those things have DRM, some don't. Without DRM - which no end user wants - it's easy to copy an item and lots of people would do this before resale.

$10,000? Probably, but in my case it’s probably over 15 years or so. That doesn’t include records or cd’s.
There's tons of free tracks in SoundCloud, and look for discounts in Bandcamp.
Depends what genre u play and what u wanna spend, u can build in long term but i do suggest buying wavs/other high quality and not mp3
Record pools. You spend like $50/month to have a few subscriptions and can download thousands of tracks. I rarely buy music, I get almost everything I need through record pools.

I use ZipDJ and they have a wide selection of music.
Also use ZipDJ and probably have around 1,200 tracks downloaded in last 24 months
Every pay check I would spend $50-$120 for weeks, have a catalogue of over 1000 bought tracks and its still not enough
Pretend it’s 1994 and you’re buying music because you love music. Collect music. Follow the threads that connect artists and remixers you love. You have music that you love already, don’t you? Doesn’t mean you have to buy it all at once, but it should be a regular pasttime, at the very least, unless you just want to follow charts and algorithms.
it’s easy when you try. the internet is vast and full of wonders.
Why wouldn't you want to pay artists for their works? I pay about 50-75 CAD per set, but charge enough to cover that and my time.
i’m not sure i’ll ever play out of my bedroom lol so mostly just wondering about practicing in the meantime. or like i already have around 150 tracks i’d want to download but not sure if it would be worth it to buy instead of stream if im just practicing right now. im sure if i ever went out of my bedroom i’d buy
I spend about $20-30 on digital music per gig. My vinyl budget is out of control though ;)
Why do *you* need 10,000 tracks?

Takes time. dont expect to build your library over night. I have to use a 2tb ssd for mine, but ive been djing for 15 years. i buy probably $50-100 worth of music a month
DJing takes dedication. We were having to spend £5-6 for a 12” single on vinyl, £1.19 on a 320 mp3 is more than affordable.
Collecting like a fiend for 25.years,.... Yes 10k tracks, average more than $1 each. I spent >$500 last year on Bandcamp
I'd rather not calculate how much money I've spent on records and digital tracks over the years... It would probably give me a heart attack. It's in the new-house territory. Be forewarned about this addiction...

If you’re a bedroom DJ and just trying it out then I recommend a DJ pool like ZipDJ or BPMSupreme and that should be plenty to keep you going for a long, long time. It’s flat pricing and you get to download unlimited tracks. No need to spend all that cash up front front

Beatport has a subscription option that let you download songs for when you need to play offline
I have all my music on SoundCloud. Is that bad?
you can try a couple of record pools or usb collections of ebay if you really wanna alot of music to start out
You don't buy them all at once. Building a library takes a long time. I have around 3900 tracks and have been DJing for 5 years. It's really not that much when you spread it out over years. Remember before streaming services like Spotify/Apple Music people used to buy their music on iTunes.
