i have been checking the netlable scene for around over a year as well,
mainly because i have several friends that release on them.
which are your favourite labels and artists?
i have been downloading from the obvious ones (thinner, textone etc) but
there are so many these days you can get totally lost. i see it a see it as
a completely parallel universe. but i do think that some labels release more
or less the same sounding stuff, that diversity is still not a
characteristic to "netmusic". hopefully this will change as the scene
matures.
on a side note, dubplates&mastering in berlin now offer mp3 mastering, due
to increasing demand, and so does twerk's mastering service.
btw...313s own dennis desantis (hi dennis ;) has released some great stuff
on thinner.
fab.

this does raise the larger issue of:
would you switch to buying digital downloads instead of vinyl?
(assume you have the means to dj them digitally)
I've been collecting MP3's off the free net labels for 10 months.
I will never buy vinyl again, I might buy a CD.
There are artists who I have collected from net labels who I would pay
for, if their new releases were available only from pay sites.
I would prefer higher bit rate, and would pay for higher bit rate
versions of some of my favourite 'free' tracks.
Personally I tend to burn my music to CD and play it using Pioneer
CDJ's.
I am looking at the next alternative being Final Scratch, Serato or
Live 5
Digital is such a convenient method of having music for me. I much as
I like vinyl it never was the gospel for me.
I have no future interest in spending money on vinyl. I am not
interested
in packaging or objects of music.
