Beatport Reviews 233

BEWARE!!! Check you get all your files.

Beatport Pro does not always display ALL the songs you have purchased - so you will never actually receive everything that you have paid for. They acknowledged the bug is in their software but don't really give a damn about it. Clicking each individual track to download from their website is painful and can't create a proper folder structure.

I used to love this website - but I've got better things to do than throw money away just because they can't write a decent app to download the music you've paid for.

I bought stems and I got 1 stem of 4 lol.. so sad and so bad

I have used Beatport for many years. Recently, they sent me an advert that offered me a 50% discount if I spent sixty DOLLARS - it said exactly this: "Limited to one purchase. Lossless fees are not included in the offer. *equivalent to same amount ($60, $30 and $20) in £, € and AU$."

I spent £48.02, which at that time was over $61. I did not buy any lossless tracks.

However, 'Jacob' from the inappropriately named, 'Customer Care' told me: "When it says *equivalent to the same amount ($60, $30, and $20) in £, €, and AU$, that means £60, £30, or £20, or €60, €30, or €20, not the amount equivalence." and he would not budge. I have spoken to many people and shown them this and they all agree that I am right - I DID satisfy the requirement. Jacob said he'd only do it if I spent £11.98 MORE!

This has turned into a greedy, inflexible, devil-may-care outfit that makes offers using confusing language in order to avoid honouring them. I would definitely urge people to avoid them.

I used to be able to recommend this site wholeheartedly, however they have changed their policies to not allow redownload of your purchased files outside of a 30 day period. It essentially means you are renting your music, and if you lose it from your computer, you have to repurchase it. Note that this policy is new in the last couple of years and Beatport gave no notification of the change to their terms of service, nor allowed any time for users to backup their files before the change. For this reason I would not recommend using this service.

You can get pretty much anything you want on Beatport but it's not what it was. Something very dodgy and corrupt going on with the recommendations, pushing all the cheesiest EDM all the time. That's what I don't trust about it. Rich get richer, lesser-known artists remain on the breadline. Still. If you search, you find.

Have been a customer for many years. Great site that works very well with supportive staff. Highly recommended!

I Download some songs on beatport and they are in best quality (320kbs) not like iTunes (256). Only the tax gives a star minus, if I buy a song for 1,30€ the tax would be on 0,30€. Not very good!
But beatport is a way better than iTunes!

I can always rely on beatport to have all the new house and trance music that I love. The prices are reasonable and the website itself it easy to use. Makes life a lot easier when mixing as well as I can just search the top downloads for some decent songs to add in.

I've been using Beatport for the last 4 years and in my opinion they are the best online distributor for electronic music. The newly developed site is so easy to navigate! One of the most useful features of the site is the way that the player keeps all the tracks that you have recently played so it's really handy when browsing through hundreds of tracks! I find the genre browsers very well organised and i also find the DJ charts very useful when finding new tracks!

I've never had any issues purchasing or downloading from Beatport, and the way it remembers your card details for your account is really handy, when you're in a rush to grab a tune before you're rushing for a set i know i can get it quickest from Beatport! I also find the prices very competative compared to other download sites.

Keep it up!

Using site heavily for DJ-ing activities, and am statisfied.

Usually, purchasing goes without problems. When problems do occur, aftersales brings a speedy and effective solution to the issue.
Only down-side is the sometimes unfortunate choiche of placement of the preview option.
