Another thing to complain about. Beatport said that next time they do an update they will make sure if there is a track you cannot buy because of regional issues it just wont be displayed... Still crap, still get region blabla bullshit

New prices are just a fucking jock. 2€ for a 320kbps, lol

I used to buy about 40/50 digital tunes a month but now, I just want to download bittorent or any p2p and leech everything I like.

Look at dance-tunes, they do a lot of effort on prices. They are now something like 4 times cheaper than beatport and others digital shops. Too bad they are selling only trance and hardstyle :/

edit : I just remember , didn't they increase prices 1 or 2 years ago because of currencies? And they said they weren't going to change prices again

It was shite before, and now it is shite AND slow.

And it STILL blocks my downloads every single bloody time.

As for £1.49/£1.99/£2.49 a track for a fecking 320 mp3? Well they can just kiss my ass. I will go somewhere else that charges in $. What a rip off!

Bunch of arse- hope they go bust overnight.

Welcome To Beatport Dear Valued Customers, We appreciate your continued support and wanted to take the time to inform you about the price changes here at Beatport. As a global site - our company is forced to keep tabs on international changes in currency exchange rates and the influence of our international partners. In response to these trends, we must make every effort to strike a balance between the needs of our label partners and that of our customers. If Beatport is to continue providing our customers with the best new tracks from all over the world, we must take a global position in regards to pricing structure. The new pricing structure is as follows: Exclusive Promos - $2.49 New Releases - $1.99 Back Catalog - $1.49

The new prices aren't really a joke, it's what every other download site in the UK have been charging all along because otherwise the artists and labels get fuck all. Don't get me wrong, I loved the cheapness of Beatport and got everything from there before, but this doesn't surprise me at all. I know a lot of labels were thinking of (and some actually did) leave Beatport because their low prices meant that even though they did a lot of sales, it wasn't worth having their tracks on there.

On the Trackitdown front, they've got a stack of new servers in the last couple of weeks and now the site's MUCH faster (yes, it was a right pain in the arse before) and I know that they're doing more to improve it.

Obviously it's all down to what you prefer using, but personally I'll be saying goodbye to Beatport now... I don't see anything that it's got over any of the other sites anymore.

I've never bought from beatport before, so I have a noobish question. How do you tell whether the track is a 320 or wav? Say like Fable - Above how can I tell? Thanks.
