They did that with Barry Jameson’s track Stars and a remix of the Phoenix track ages ago too.

The new UI is better than the last one. I especially like that downloads are now on the frontpage.

Homegrove The search function doesn’t take a fortnight anymore which is nice.

Along_the_Wire

Does the search function take less than an hour?

Cankles-McJeggings

Haha it’s totally wank. Rather than make the fucking thing work they just keep on pissing round with the aesthetics. I’ve almost completely fucked the place off nowdays. The biggest reason is their disasterous genre caragories. I dont know why but I just feel like I would hate every single cunt who works there too.

Millsy

Cankles-McJeggings would love to get you involved in one of their strategiser sessions

Cankles-McJeggings

Lolz. Hey guyz! Right you fucking wankers…

Cankles-McJeggings

I bet they are the type of cunts who hot desk and ride round on electric skate boards hi-5ing one another repeatedly throughout the day.

Everyone turns up with their laptops. Dermo brings is metal toolbox.

Only hammer and pliers inside.

Does any website for buying music have a good search? iTunes usually works, but I only shop there out of absolute necessity because they don’t offer lossless-files. Bandcamp is really bad, usually works if you google artist + song + bandcamp.

Homegrove The search function on Beatport was fine once the search had completed. The issue was it took way too long and would often crash or sign me out.
The search on Bandcamp is as bad as it gets but as you say the best way is thru Google.

I’m not crazy about the new Beatport UI. They’ve lumped the artists names under track titles and theres no ‘sort by’ in the carts anymore. At least the navigation speed has been fixed.

Juno isn’t bad.

mjh

anyone fancy using the original juno.co.uk nowadays?

They still have that fuckin annoying ‘add to queue’ button next to the play button, which pops up and gets in the way of the play button, should you even glance at it. Not keen on the label and remixer being lumped together either.

Search looks better, with the old one you had to be letter perfect to get a result.

Pages and tracks are taking forever to load at the moment, hope that gets boxed off asap.

Thats a right pain the bollix. Especially for those that use the queue function.

I get it, but it’s badly designed and implemented.

mono-stereo

So i can see everying i’ve ever bought now. Great stuff, loads of good tunes i’ve lost over the years. But i can’t re-download them? Do you need a streaming account for this?

Homegrove

mono-stereo you can redownload them if you pay for the Beatport-streaming. 9,99 € a month being the cheapest choice, but that includes the re-download option. I think that’s a decent one time charge for your own history there. Of course you can’t re-download tracks that are no longer available because label’s folded or something. I’ve had a few of those when trying to upgrade some track from mp3 to aiff.

SM001

Homegrove you can redownload them if you pay for the Beatport-streaming

So effectively you to pay again for something you already own? That’s ridiculous.

Homegrove

SM001 well yes, but that’s what’s available from them.
