    I can't stop... I have a serious addiction and the credit card is ultra-fcked as a result. Between Warpmart, Amazon, Boomkat and now bloody Amazon.de - it has to end. Anyone bought from Amazon.de before? - just did some damage there tonight, can't understand German but all the buttons are in the same places so I got through it :pac: Lots of good stuff there that would be hard to find elsewhere.

    The benefit right now though with the weak pound means unreal value when buying from UK online stores, I bought £142 worth from Amazon the other day which equated to 152 euro (where the hell is the euro symbol on a mac?)

    Amazon pi*s me off no end, the amount of things ive wanted to buy on that website but it wont allow me because for some bizzare reason they wont deliver to Ireland:mad: i suppose i could get it delivered to an address in England but i shouldn't have to, i did see Amazon.De but couldn't understand it (dunno how the fcuk you got around that one man) would be good if you could convert it into English.

    As or music.when i do purchase i avoid Beatport and the likes too expensive, i find http://www.bm-soho.com/ to be good.

    Its only electrical items etc that they won't deliver to Ireland - they stopped when the WEEE charges were introduced here, they obviously felt it was better to cease that trade than implement the charges for some reason! They will deliver though all music, books, DVD's etc.

    I got around the amazon.de purely from being too fckin familiar with the Amazon layout and knowing what the buttons had to mean! Its exactly the same as the .co.uk layout.

    they also won't deliver computer games...

    Alt-2 is the euro symbol, just to be obstinate compared to normal PCs. Just like # is Alt 3 rather than having its own button. grr.

    I do an Amazon run about once a month, and flick through the charts on dance-tunes.com every few days; I've managed to restrain my buying habits after having to buy more CD storage every 6 months at one stage!

    Speedyshare is like rapidshare and if you're not sentimental about having the cd case, you can have anything you want really.

    Cheers, been bugging me since getting a Mac and kept meaning to google it or something!

    In relation to storage for CD's etc, I ended up having to convert my attic just for CD's and vinyl... my hideaway :pac: Although I notice more and more of the kids toys ending up here :(

    Yeah found out after... I very much believe in being sentimental over CD cases etc! To the point of being in debt over them :eek:

    How much of that €5 goes to the label owners and artists?

    Even though I'm skint at the moment, I still buy new digi releases all the time (more so now that a lot of my favourite labels are moving from vinyl to cd)

    I can imagine... my 11 month old son made a go at some 12"s just yesterday, just managed to save a couple that were on the way across the floor with him - he was not impressed when I took them back... a DJ in the making I reckon!!!
