    buying off beatport in dollars?

    Does anyone know how to do it so that you get the songs cheaper?

    I know you can hide your ip address so that the site thinks you're from usa but never managed to do it.

    Used to get them in $ when I worked for an american company.

    Any sites you can go through?

    you could use a US based proxy server eg. www.anonymouse.org

    However this means routing your credit card info through it and I cannot be certain of the security of doing so.

    No the credit card just does the conversion and there is no charge

    About 40% I think (depends on exchange rate). Not much on 1 song but adds up when you buy a lot

    Sounds like its worked. When I used to get then in $ the credit card statement converted the total in $ to £ using that days exchange rate then debited card in £s. What way did you use to get it in $?

    sorry i mean i got charged £10.45 rather than the equivalent to $10.45

    I wonder if its to do with the kind of card you use? I used a Maestro
