        I finally took a look at the site yesterday, and I have to say i really dig it. I like how when you search for a producer up comes a nice photo of said producer and a list of recent tracks. Pretty sweet stuff.

          ... they sent me an email yesterday at 3pm saying their "engineer's" (wtf?... engineer's?.. ) were aware of the problem and would have it fixed within 6 to 8 hours. It's now been 24. yep, nothing like buying tracks to play out on friday and saturday and still not be able to download them 2 days later.... i know it's a "beta" version but come on now. begs the question that if this happened to me how many others are affected? how many songs are there that can't be downloaded? i wasn't pissed at first but i'm rapidly getting there.

            ^^You would think a beta version is just that, one that is used by only those who choose to try it out letting the rest of us keep using the current version until all the bugs are worked out.

              Exactly. This makes absolutely no sense.

              They already had a "beta" version of the 3.0 store running as the new DJmag download store, what harm would it to do to keep it as it was for a little while longer?

              For me, the perfect example of how to beta-test anything is the way Ableton do it. For Live 6, they started with a very restricted alpha-circle, then they went public, with a 500-user limit, and they?ll slowly increase the beta-test circle as they feel it?s ready for more people to test.

                All in all...I think I will be going back there some time soon

                So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

                1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
                2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

                Am I close here?

                  Ok. I just tried to purchase a tune and the same thing happened. Error. Can't find file. Please contact beatport support. Sheesh.

                    ... and they wonder why i go elsewhere to purchase stuff.... i'm sorry, but there's no excuse for this kind of crap... either you're ready to launch an updated site or you're not ready, period.

                      100% agree.

                      The sad part is that the time for more tune shopping for my next promo is coming, and I guess this time I?ll have to go to somewhere else...I?m not really in the mood to spend money and then waste 3 days trading e-mails with beatport?s support and not getting any music in the process.

                      I actually found a very recent one that kinda looks like Beatport : www.groovegate.com. Haven?t browsed much, but it looks good.
