The rise and fall of the pound vs the dollar make Digital Download Site
Arbitrage an annoying fact of life.

I'm really not down with Beatport, even though Clark Warner and Liz
Copeland work there. It's only because of them that I don't rail against
Beatport as the evil empire.

Surprised no-one's mentioned the WordandSound-run What People Play.

http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/

In this day and age Flash-based websites are super-annoying though.

Although they're ostensibly the same, I've found that sometimes the prices on 
the same items differ between the two sites. Just did a quick search now and 
confirmed, for a particular random EP:

  MP3 (192)   MP3 (320)   WAV
junodownload, each track$1.49  $1.89 $2.75
juno.co.uk, each track  $1.28  $2.06 $2.84
junodownload, full release  $3.99  $4.99 $6.99
juno.co.uk, full release$3.23  $3.87 $7.76

As you can see, depending on what you want, one site or the other might be the 
better deal. I've usually ended up going with junodownload since the WAVs are 
cheaper.
