Re: beatport

the far more interesting thing is that beatport has dropped all facebook like buttons and replaced them with Google+ share buttons.

lol google+ lol

i wonder who the "social media expert" who sold them on that was.

Re: beatport

I view Beatport as a necessary evil and as such, don't spend nearly as much time browsing music there as I once did.

Might I ask, if you don't spend much time browsing music there, where do you spend time browsing?

Soundcloud and even random Youtube searches have proved fruitful most times. I just find I lose interest quickly on Beatport. *shrug*

Re: beatport

I'm still using Beatport, but the DJ charts lost any meaning and just random searching a genre is useless. My Beatport still works but Soundcloud is the place where you can listen to unreleased stuff and previews, even YouTube as lockedgroove says. There are several channels devoted to promos and new stuff.

Re: beatport

the charts have been terrible, they have gone more to quantity over quality, i usually check only my artists there and labels, cant browse there anymore

Re: beatport

I don't use it any more. Find it shite to get around and would rather the interfaace was how it used to be.

Re: beatport

Well, I CAN POST A CHART! People might say "DJ chart, wtf". Proper charts can let you discover new amazing artists you overlooked (Nina Kraviz-->Smallpeople). But then you see a hundred DJ Guidos posting charts of their own productions!!

Re: beatport

Tell you what pisses me off I put tracks into one playlist and the difference in quality and volume is staggering at times, and I buy them all supposed in WAV . Never go to browse beatport, go there when I find tracks I want to buy .
