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. |
u can download all tracks in wav, 320 or 192vbr... |

Trackitdown have just about every release available as a wav without that annoying "wav handling charge"... you can select to get the wav instead of the a 320k mp3 when you review your basket before the checkout.
Admittdly for people in the US they could well be cheaper from Beatport, but they're going to be a lot cheaper for people in the UK and Europe now that Beatport have changed their prices. |

yes they do have an extra wav handling charge of $1 US per track and their prices are higher than beatport |

Hmmn *hugs box of vinyl*:tongue3
Seriously tho, it sounds like they are gonna lose a heap of you guys from this. they should really have beta tested the site and put it up in 24 hrs initially. Unhappy customers will always look elsewhere. |

I think the biggest gripes are over the pricing, which beta testing wouldn't have fixed... it's something they had to do to stop them losing client labels. |

Ah ok, I see how it all lines up ;) obviously Beatport's "wav handling charge" is the same thing as TID just having different prices lol (I'm not feeling like the brightest student in the class today, had a very long day at work...) |

I personally like everything they have done with it so far, with the exception of not displaying the track length (but then again, that has never been a factor when purchasing a track for me before).
I also noticed, when checking out - you can now choose the bitrate quality for individual tracks. This is a great feature when you are purchasing a load of tracks, and want to pick and choose which one you want to spend the extra $$$$ to download in WAV.
However, the biggest thing I have noticed since they have returned has been their lacking in quality in terms of music. I used to pick up on average close to 5 or 6 tracks PER DAY, and in the past week - I have only found 4 tracks worth downloading. I hope this is just a dry spell in quality, or the fact that they are spending more time adjusting to the new software. |

I baught a track and i get the following error when i try to download the file : "The file you requested was not found. Please contact [email protected]".
I emailed them about three days ago and this is the reply i got:
"Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience. We are aware of this issue and our engineers are working diligently to resolve the problem, hopefully within the next 6 to 8 hours. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your patience in this matter."
I want my damn music :whip: |
