Today is the last day to get half off the cost of AIFF and WAV upgrades when you make new lossless purchases on Beatport. Uncompressed lossless files (commonly known as WAVs or AIFFs) are consistently the choice for pro DJs of all sorts, to ensure the highest possible quality of digital audio without the degradation that MP3s can encounter. “When playing on some of the most massive soundsystems around the world, the quality of my content is of utmost importance,” says Markus Schulz. “It is therefore very important to arm my library with the very best quality lossless files. Even when I get promo MP3s, I buy the lossless to make sure I am playing the very best sounding files.”

It’s a known fact in the DJ community that lossless files are the way to go if you’re looking to deliver the highest-quality sound to your audience. If you’re playing big-room soundsystems, festival PAs—heck, anything larger than your bedroom—lossless files are the only way to ensure top-quality audio without the sound degradation that is inherent in MP3 compression.

DJ extraordinaire Sander van Doorn prefers “playing lossless files only,” he says. “As I want to guarantee my fans the best audio experience for every set.” And he’s definitely not the only one. Loco Dice echoes the sentiment, saying, “I play lossless files because the format contains uncompressed audio, gives me the maximum audio quality, and doesn’t fail when I combine digital files and vinyl records.”
