So… half my preorders e.g. Glowal EP that should have been available today and received emails saying they were available have not appeared in the downloads section. Suggest cross-checking any preorders you’ve made with what appears in the folder as you may be missing out on quite a bit of stuff.

You can’t trust Beatport with the exclusives anymore. They might say a track is available from there only for a week or two, but I’ve checked and half can be bought from Bandcamp too without waiting. For example the new Rumors and Permanent Vacation-releases today.

I dont know why but I always got the feeling that Beatport was run by choads like Matt Gaetz, coked up to the eyeballs backstage at Coachella and telling anyone who’ll listen how great the latest Endo mix is. Basically clueless parasitic wankers out for one thing only, bags of cash.

    The website has gone to shit. I can’t trust it anymore.

    SM001 Why I don’t stay logged in on BP despite telling their site that I would like to remain logged in (Safari MacBook Air) is mystifying.

      I’ll say now that UKeySoft is quite the Software tool. Still buy a bulk of my tracks from BP & BC if their is a goal of keeping them in my RecordBox for longer than a year.

      LT42 Well, it was owned by Hawtin originally, so not too far wide of the mark.

        Amps I’d no qualms with Beatport 10 years ago if I’m honest but look what it has become.

          LT42 The last few years I would guess they have changed some of their programmers or support team or something. The site is just buggy as fuck, and their search function is even worse than ours. I don’t have too much beef with their ‘exclusives’ and the like, pricing could be a bit better, but otherwise they just need to concentrate on the site a bit more. I assume that BeatportDJ thing took up a lot of their time and effort recently.

          Homegrove Gotcha. I believe he made Scrooge McDuck money from selling his majority stake.

          Careful now! The carts are fucking about again, charging you for stuff that you have removed, couple of reloads usually does the trick, but keep an eye on tracks bouncing back in that you thought you had removed etc.

          Ok, in the best technical description I can do… Why does the fucking big play button not work????

          I don’t want to click play on each track ffs… It’s stopped working and on all browsers.

          Just another warning here, Beatport is still having issues. Nearly got stung for tracks that I had removed from my cart, only for them to magically reappear, or more specifically, their price to still be included in the checkout price calculation, but the track to be invisible in my list.

            Amps I haven’t bought from Beatport since their issues started. I still use it to listen to promos etc but I’ll purchase elsewhere. I just can’t trust their website anymore.
