They are upgrading it to version 3.0. Hopefully the site will be completely redesigned...hopefully that's the reason it's taking so long, and not just upgrading it.

Yes, hopefully it'll actually work now. I tried to buy from them the other day. Tried to give them my money. I would have tunes in my cart, click the check-out link, and my cart would empty out. Tried this multiple times, with both Firefox and IE. Maybe they'll let me buy stuff now?

i was just about to come in here and make a thread bitching about it being down. glad i'm not the only impatient one. i hardly ever use it but now that its not available im getting annoyed. i wanna buy tunes!

I would like it if they changed it so that when you click the back arrow on your browser it doesnt totally re-direct you out of the site. I hate that sh!

couldn't be more perfect timing for me since i don't even have my CD decks at home this week anyway... but i'm anxious to see if they fixed a lot of the problems with their design.

Posted by RJT on Aug-08-2006 17:59:

Yes, this has also been a severe irritation to me... Hopefully it'll be back soon

Pez GTG now the thread isnt too busy yet

The new site seems to be much slower than the previous version. And if anything, it's not a redesign but a change in font and more awkward graphics. Nothing seems to work so far.

Anyone know what the changes are supposed to be?

Posted by nrjizer on Aug-08-2006 18:19:

Great, it was back up for 5 minutes and now they've taken it back down.

Posted by shaw on Aug-08-2006 18:22:

It's way slower & they must still be workin' on it, 'cuz it's buggy as all hell right now.

Looks like they did the following:

* Drop-down menu added for search (title, artist, label, etc. without having to go to advanced search)
* Hourglass-like thing when it's loading, instead of just sitting there
* Play button now always says play, but pops in & out when it's on or off
* Looks like they might've fixed the bug which caused 2 tracks to play back when you clicked on one, it didn't load immediately, then you clicked on another one and the 1st one started playing later, leaving you with one bizarre sample
* Top 10 Expanded to Top 100

...and the site just shut back down, so I don't know what else is on there now, since I can't look anymore...

Thanks for that end-user review, you're useful...ehmm sometimes.

Posted by shaw on Aug-08-2006 18:32:

I'll get around to set-hunting again soon enough...

Posted by D-res on Aug-08-2006 18:37:

i dono why they dont just keep the old version up while they test the new version somewhere else until its not buggy. once its ready, then just throw it up

I would like for them to make the sound samples longer. Nothing bugs me more then when I buy a track and find out the rest of it I didn't hear sucks!

+1

Posted by Protege on Aug-08-2006 19:36:

oh so theyre upgrading, I thought it was just down. I was getting kinda pissed off but hopefully it wont suck anymore. I hate it when you try to buy a track and it signs you out.

I doubt that's ever gonna happen...when you think about it, though, how many times has that actually happened?

The other thing like that, which I've found myself running into more often, is that the sample sounds 'good,' but the actual track is poorly produced and, despite having a nice melody/bassline/structure/whatever, somebody just didn't spend enough time on it & it winds up being worthless anyways.

Posted by nrjizer on Aug-08-2006 20:04:

Honestly, on the whole I can't complain about Beatport. Nothing beats a huge selection of tracks in full quality wav available for instant download.

But still, I'm getting a bit impatient for it to come back up!

Posted by Adriz on Aug-08-2006 20:43:

I think its back up now.

i hope they make it so my credit card information doesn't get stolen when i use the site. who the fuck uses Flash for a "secure" site?
