The New Beatport

yep.

Starting to get the hang of the new interface too. The browser controls don't work still, but that didn't go on the previous version so I'm not annoyed.
I docked the "My beatport" tab so all of a sudden it's all a lot less 'full' on my screen, so that's cool.

Give me a few more days and I'll be on my way to bankruptcy again. :p

hmm

works pretty good, ive noticed some glitches. mainly in the featured section...ill click in one window and it takes me to something else entirely

so itunes price point is going to effect beatport's pricing?

i mean seriously 1 song at $2.49 ??

thats pretty ridiculous if you ask me. i dont usually buy any exclusive top of the pops releases anyway but seeing that and knowing what actual percentage of that goes to the artist is kinda annoying

for example:

at beatport i find a miskate barem remix for $1.99

same track at apples itunes .99 cents

96kbps is simply not good enough for a site like Beatport

which is why you will hear that the newer tracks have a bigger file compression ratio

listen to newly posted tracks vs. old ones

There are some nice improvements on the new Beatport.

But I'm missing the fact that you could buy tracks directly without going via de download cart.

i have problem sometimes when buffering samples, skipping through out the tracks,it gets confused....... something has to be done with the buffering..but anyhow i hoped the new look brought them a new percpective w/ labels and towards marketting..but dont think so , lately beatport tends to produce DJs trends..

I thought the music was supposed to sound better rather than the muffled crap it used to be? It still sounds crap and muffled to me!
