Random Beatport question.

I have a "coupon" for 10 free tracks, i got it at BANG music festival. The URL they told me to use is garbage. The code they told me to type in is garbage. Has anyone sucessfully used one of these things? Bastards.


Beatport's done that sort of things a few times here in Denver, however each time the code has worked for me. The only bad thing is it's usually 10 pre determined tracks and they're almost always pretty horrid...

trackitdown does let you add anything to your cart, but when you're checking out it says that the tunes aren't available. IMO that's even more annoying than beatport.
and i'm getting that trentemoller thing in the search too. but one thing i hate about beatport now is that you have to click too fucking much IMO. like if you search for airwave, it first lists every artist/group with the name airwave in it (ok, nothing can be done about that really). then you click on airwave and it gives some gay page with an ugly pic of airwave and a list of the most popular tracks by him! wtf is that all about? then you have to click on view all if you want to see the individual tracks. and if you haven't been browsing for a while you have to click on the tracks link as by default it's showing releases and not tracks.
so there's way too much useless clicking and as the site is flash it's slow too and flash is annoying as fuck in every way. the site is not simple enough for nice browsing. i'm almost certain i'd buy more tracks from there if the site was much better.

You need to play around with the search a little if you cannot find an artist, track, or label that you are looking for. For one, don't try to enter full artist name. Say for example you are searching for 16 Bit Lolita's on Beatport, enter only the word "bit" into the search and it will just narrow it down for you to only artists whose names include word bit. Or if for example you are searching for D-Nox & Beckers, then just enter Beckers into the search. And yeah, it can get a little tricky. Hopefully this helps

Heh, that's a clever PR trick right there

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Cheers fella, hadn't spotted that!
