Right now as we speak. Wanted to log in to get some tracks and the site is offline because they are launching the new one. Damn ...

Re: Beatport is launching new site

Looks surprisingly tacky imo! Will have to give it a few sessions to report on useablilty. Their promo campaign was very slick...guess we'll find out soon if you can really smell and taste music.

Probably not...

Re: Beatport is launching new site

it is very slow for me :( loading the different pages. Other one was a lot quicker.

Re: Beatport is launching new site

when you click on a track to start playing its fine... but then how do you stop it (if you want) half way through? do you have to delete it? and if you put in the search engine another artist and click "enter" it starts again the track that was playing before, even if it was deleted from your playlist...

wtf??

wtf??[/QUOTE]

I can stop a track by pressing the play button (just like on the old one)

but it DOES start up again when you search for anything. This must be a error on their end

Re: Beatport is launching new site

i hate all these beatport revisions... every time they release it, the site gets slower and slower because of all the shit they add. [B]it needs to be simple and easy to navigate[/B]. i haven't been to beatport in months because it got a little over the top. i hope they keep that in mind in this release.

:RockOn:

there is nothing worse than slow loading pages and annoying features.

i find the juno site pretty damn good.

and then theres junodownload.com

Re: Beatport is launching new site

There's so much shit on beatport now that it's pretty exhausting wading through it to find the tracks i'd actully buy. I heard they instigated a plicy whereby if a label hadn't sold a certain number of tracks over a certain period of time they were kicked out. Guess there are just so many labels around now that this makes little to no difference :(

#1152083Post 11 of 252009-01-22

Re: Beatport is launching new site

labels should set up independently and sell their own tracks.

that way u find what u want easily and they dont lose out!

u get all the label info and their tracks there all on their own site!

#1152092Post 12 of 252009-01-22

Re: Beatport is launching new site

Yeah, but setting up an online store for each individual label is expensive, especially if they only put out a handful of releases each year like some of the smaller ones do.

We put out 2 or three singles a week on average and our online store genrates nowhere near as much revenue as our Beatport and Traxsource sales, so for the smaller labels the cost in setting up and running their own store would be a waste of money

Re: Beatport is launching new site

the thing that perplexes me , is like greg said.. beatport has so much crap on there now that it makes it almost impossible to find the good stuff. i don't have time to sort thru the rubbish and now i have to wait an hour for the page to load. :(

#1152120Post 14 of 252009-01-22

Re: Beatport is launching new site

isn't this the 3rd thread we've had on the upgrades that Beatport is doing?

Maybe we should get on DJDownload.com and get them to upgrade their site, as it is a lot easier to fins stuff with BP than with DJD.

Re: Beatport is launching new site

this new site is fucking retarded. the old one actually worked and played the GD music. this one does not.

whatever...I only use it to sample the stuff before I usually buy it only vinyl anyways lol

#1152366Post 16 of 252009-01-23

Re: Beatport is launching new site

I can't even get on the fucker now...homepage won't load!

Local issue or anyone else having the same problem?

#1152413Post 17 of 252009-01-23

Re: Beatport is launching new site

Working fine for me.

#1152433Post 18 of 252009-01-23

Re: Beatport is launching new site

^^ what happens when you move the sample indicator from the first part of the sample to the latter part while it's playing (i.e., if you skip ahead by a lot). For me, it either stops playing and you have to hit play again, or the sample just stops altogether - before it reaches the end of the sample range.

#1152467Post 19 of 252009-01-23

Re: Beatport is launching new site

wow. to me it worked just fine...pretty much worked at same speed as previous one. most of the commands are the same. actually only real difference is the look of it..

As in wherever I move it to it picks it right up.

Re: Beatport is launching new site

i'll probably end up on it again the next time I need to make a mix. which might be another month or two. maybe their problems will be sorted by then.

#1155600Post 22 of 252009-01-24

Re: Beatport is launching new site

juno.co.uk is the site i use most of the times. now the problem is.. juno doesnt have all releases beatport has, like promos and all that and second, quite funny, beatport reduced their prices when juno put them up... :(

#1155722Post 23 of 252009-01-24

Re: Beatport is launching new site

works great for me. it looks better and loads up quickly. and you can turn volume up and down!!

#1155811Post 24 of 252009-01-25

Re: Beatport is launching new site

so I'm on beatport via my macbook pro checking some samples and of course the goddamn thing crashes Safari... causing me to lose the entire cart I had spent hours building on another site...

beatport is still retarded.
