I have spent maybe thousand dollar on Beatport, sure its my own fault. But no more! Beware! The library of downloadable tracks that you have on Beatport, can change at any time. Out of the several hundreds of tracks that i bought and payed for. Only a few are left to re-download. That to me is a big scam. Cause they are not stricken from the inventory list and can be rebought again. The sound quality are not up to par or standards. Its funny cause i have had this discussion before many years ago. And now FINALLY people have begun to notice. Good show! Ive heard several rumors from friends that Beatport keep their "masters" in Mp3 to save space and money. And then blow up the file so it seem to be in a better format than it really are. Mp3 to Wav. Cause when you listen and compare there is no real difference. Somebody should dig into this deeper and find out the truth! /Cheers!

I made my first and likely last purchase from beatport today. i'm writing this review because I have time to spare as I am waiting for my downloads. Correct I'm waiting for beatport to fullfill my order of 22 tracks which for unknown reasons all need to be downloaded separately. Even-though I bought several whole releases, the songs come separately and with an odd 7 digit number before the filename. No artwork files appear to be included with the EP's and albums I bought. This means that when I'm done downloading these tracks I will need to rename each file, create folders and sort the tracks in the correct folder. After that I will need to search the internet to find the coverart file(s) for the albums and EP's. All of this will likely take the rest of my afternoon. I love sites like Bandcamp and Juno-download that simply zip the order up in a file that comes organised in folders and can be downloaded with one single click .Why on earth would you make a music download service so cumbersome and complicated ?

Well, for the most the tracks were ok, I have to take the word of the website the tracks are in full 320kbs mp3, which going off 3 of the tracks, no intro or outro, so not DJ friendly despite the website claiming they are, 1 track completely different to what was advertised, and one of the tracks even had another track being mixed into the outro before it was cut off so obviously ripped from an album... Emailed customer service and they were unhelpful only offering a refund for 1 track despite 3 being wrong, I even linked the correct tracks on YouTube for their comparison and before I could escalate my complaint they closed the case... My word would be avoid this company, they're obviously a professional pirating company and I very much doubt the artists see a penny of any revenue created, I won't be using again

I bought the track One In a Million You instrumental, and I thought I could use it in my podcast. But that is not what Beatport is about as far as instrumental tracks. So what am I buying the track for? If I can't use the instrumental for background, I might as well buy the whole original song just for listening. The artists are the Hit Beat Makers. It would be nice if they let us use some music under Creative Commons license. Beatport is not bad but they are not what I was looking for. They have great music.

be careful as the default subscription is the most expensive one when you choose upgrading to pro(lost 25 bucs,didn t even use it,my bad i guess).I recently made a purchase and i got what i was supposed to,but would have preferred to have the option of .flac files as well instead of just .aiff and .wav and of course,the .75 $ per track cheaper mp3 which i don t like to use.

For a WAV file, you pay about 2.20$ per song (which normally would be fine). I bought different songs for $62 and wanted to download them overnight to my ipad. Unfortunately the download failed for several songs. No problem, you should think... You can download the music again, right? Yes, but only if you do it within the first 24 hours after the first download! What a cheek! I can't even stream a complete track anymore. Fortunately, I know the musicians and I can ask them to send me the files. I will also advise them to stop supporting Beatport and switch to another platform. Keep your hands off Beatport!!! PS: This is the first time I'm writing a review, but this really sets me up!!!!

Bakken met geld gespendeerd aan muziek, en wanneer ik op downloaden klik krijg ik een foutmelding. Geen reactie van de klantenservice en heb uiteindelijk de muziek van youtube moeten downloaden. als ik een kwart ster kon geven had ik dat gedaan

What I don't appreciate is that beatport sells tracks that do not meet the specified sound quality. This happened to me two times now. If you buy tracks at beatport I would recommend downloading a acoustic spectrum analyser (like the free "Spek" app) to test the actual sound quality. I also don't like the way they handle this problem. They refund the money, but they don't solve the problem. They should remove the track from their website or upload an improved version of the track.
