    Beatport is launching new site

    Right now as we speak. Wanted to log in to get some tracks and the site is offline because they are launching the new one. Damn ...

      Looks surprisingly tacky imo! Will have to give it a few sessions to report on useablilty. Their promo campaign was very slick...guess we'll find out soon if you can really smell and taste music.

      Probably not...

          when you click on a track to start playing its fine... but then how do you stop it (if you want) half way through? do you have to delete it? and if you put in the search engine another artist and click "enter" it starts again the track that was playing before, even if it was deleted from your playlist...

          wtf??

            I can stop a track by pressing the play button (just like on the old one)

            but it DOES start up again when you search for anything. This must be a error on their end

                i hate all these beatport revisions... every time they release it, the site gets slower and slower because of all the shit they add. it needs to be simple and easy to navigate. i haven't been to beatport in months because it got a little over the top. i hope they keep that in mind in this release.

                  there is nothing worse than slow loading pages and annoying features.

                  i find the juno site pretty damn good.

                  and then theres junodownload.com

                    There's so much shit on beatport now that it's pretty exhausting wading through it to find the tracks i'd actully buy. I heard they instigated a plicy whereby if a label hadn't sold a certain number of tracks over a certain period of time they were kicked out. Guess there are just so many labels around now that this makes little to no difference

                      labels should set up independently and sell their own tracks.

                      that way u find what u want easily and they dont lose out!

                      u get all the label info and their tracks there all on their own site!

                        Yeah, but setting up an online store for each individual label is expensive, especially if they only put out a handful of releases each year like some of the smaller ones do.

                        We put out 2 or three singles a week on average and our online store genrates nowhere near as much revenue as our Beatport and Traxsource sales, so for the smaller labels the cost in setting up and running their own store would be a waste of money

                          the thing that perplexes me , is like greg said.. beatport has so much crap on there now that it makes it almost impossible to find the good stuff. i don't have time to sort thru the rubbish and now i have to wait an hour for the page to load.

                            isn't this the 3rd thread we've had on the upgrades that Beatport is doing?

                            Maybe we should get on DJDownload.com and get them to upgrade their site, as it is a lot easier to fins stuff with BP than with DJD.

                              this new site is fucking retarded. the old one actually worked and played the GD music. this one does not.

                              whatever...I only use it to sample the stuff before I usually buy it only vinyl anyways lol
