I never got into audiogalaxy, I remember it being available however I used something called scour - best p2p program ever, as a result it was shutdown in a matter of months. My buddies used to go record shopping and pickup mix cd's for me. One of my first mix cimpilations was Chris Fortier - Trance America, great CD (Mara - Far from Grace mmm!!!).

i bought cds...tons of them. i remember having to pay like $30 for seaman's renaissance awakenings set. i still buy piles of cds, but its mostly jazz and artist albums. the market is flooded w/mix cds and there aren't too many worth buying IMO.
there are so many radio mixes and promo mixes that i just don't have time to listen and appreciate that many.
i guess its better to have too much music out than not enough...

The only source of music for me when I started getting into EDM was audio cassettes and the Essential Mix, like the other audio cassette fans I still have loads of C120s kicking around my house and depsite the fact that I don't have anything to play them on I just cannot face trashing them My best investment was a hi fi with a timer so no staying up to press record...Happy Days

I bought lot's of cd's too, then I used a little app on mac called Hotline (which was eventually released for PC as well). It was through there I discovered Sasha and Digweed, and never looked back!

I spent shitloads of money on CD's which are now getting dusty in the attic. Yeah well, don't listen to Sonic Youth or Nirvana and such anymore...

I started with cassettes .. recording from the radio even .. dont miss those days, then switched to cds .. still buy most cds as they come out .. i'm not a fan of burnt cds, i prefer the real deal .. with the case etc .. the only thing i download and burn to cd is live sets which sometimes is better than the cds put out anyhow
