Beatport definitely do 320s, but I'm lead to believe that Amazon do not.

They're VBR 256's if I remember correctly. You need to search a bit for the info, which is laughable.

Although we retail on Amazon and this probably isn't good for our tunes in Amazon, but do not buy from them. The quality is very poor.
Purchase from Juno or iTunes to be honest!

iTunes is an odd one, though: they're 256kps, but is there not something about their format which means the degree to which quality is lost is lessened?

Oh
I don't know to be honest. Oddly 90% of our sales are from iTunes so I'd assume it's the most popular one for Dj's and listeners.

Juno is what I use most, but a lot of grime releases are only done through iTunes so occasionally it's necessary to use that. To be honest, most people who I've spoken to have said that the difference between 256 and 320 is minimal to the point that it's not a huge issue if 256 is the only thing available.

I've heard noticable differences between 256 and 320's on a big system but I usually have to open the files and view the waveforms in order to see or hear any difference. 320's are going to be a bit clearer. I don't like amazon mp3s personally.
