Hi, maybe I am just being stupid, but I can't figure out how to buy a single track from a release in flac on boomkat. I can get the one tune I want in 320 mp3, but flac only seems to allow the whole release. I can't find the tunes I want anywhere else than boomkat, so if anyone could give any advice (if I don't understand how to use it properly ) that would be appreciated.

Cheers

don´t buy anything from boomkat - they´re a bunch of wankers

Ok thanks lol

I am looking for
Darkstar Lilyliver / Out of touch.
(Decided I also like lilyliver now so I will get both sides)

and Darkstar Dead to me / Break
(only want dead to me)

I usually buy from digital-tunes, but these aren't up there. I checked juno, they don't have lilyliver / out of touch, and have dead to me / break, but only in 320.

in fairness of boomkat I've bought loads of flacs and mp3s from them had a problem with two releases.(suppliers upload errors).. which they resolved... and gave me two free releases of my choice in flac as a apology.. Digital tunes also great, Boomkat are generally cheaper so they tend to get quite a few of my purchases.

excellent choices, i bought all 4 of these tunes from boomkat a few weeks back. you're right though, there doesn't seem to be a way of buying
individual flacs and these releases aren't on bleep or beatport which doesnt help.

does anyone know what boomkat encode their mp3's with? iask because i cant find
the info on their website and on itunes it says encoded with unknown. i assume they use LAME

I wish you would have told me this months ago you would have speared me a headache + loss of money.

Nothing but love for boomkat! they really can spot who's good and who isn't!!

i like boomkat

i buy most of my dubstep off boomkat, never ever had a problem. clean, easy to use website, quality releases, decent prices, nice writeups on everything...really don't see what the issue is.

oh and as far as i can tell from the releases i've got from there they encode their 320s with the latest LAME, so i guess atm thats 3.98b or something.

Ok I decided to just buy lilyliver/out of touch in wav and maybe get the other tune later. Bit weird that you can't get individual files but nm. Ill get from boomkat

Thanks

i've bought loads of stuff from boomkat.

i used to shop at their physical store pelikanneck in manchester until it shut down. i continued buying vinyl and mp3, but then three consecutive orders were late/fucked up/incomplete. they offered me no apology, even though it meant i couldn't play any stuff i'd ordered at the places i'd been booked to play. I wrote them an email saying how pissed off i was and all they said was it was because of the snow. i asked my mate in manchester and he said there hadn't been any snow. i said they were going to lose a good customer and they didn;t even reply to my email.

just my experience. it's a shame as i like the layout, but i'm not shopping with them anymore.
