its not just where they direct their traffic to.
Shazam needs the original source files to match them to the recording from the club (for example)
Beatport has the biggest source file libary in the world.
That means Shazam can identify a lot more tracks in the future.

They certainly will need month to scan the whole beatport catalouge though.

I understand.. they were really good before. most of my tracks they id'd were not on beatport. I don't believe anyway.. or at least some... I wonder if they will keep the database or even potentially lose some of the previous database by switching..?
