most of the tracks I buy come from Beatport
I am pretty pissed with the sudden climb in prices as mentioned
changing from $ to £ makes a massive difference to the cost...
hmm... hope its just an error and not them being sneeky ******s |

They've been quite sly about it. Before, prices were listed in $ so a single for example would have been $1.50. But now the currency has changed for UK users to £ so it's now £1.50 for the same track.

Hmm thats pretty ty. Huge increase. For some reason its still showing up in $ for me even in Ireland, so I didnt see all that. |

| What a ******s! They indeed kept the prices the same but changed the currency to £ or €. That makes a huge difference. They obviously lost me as a much buying customer now. Like I'm gonna pay €2,49 for a mp3 promo :rolleyes: |

We appreciate your continued support and value each and every one of you who have been with us during the growth of our industry. We wanted to take the time to inform you about the price changes here at Beatport. Due entirely to your continued support, Beatport has become the global leader in digital dance music. However, 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 this trend, 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. In order to provide a better range of content and premium formats, Beatport prices have been adjusted to reflect market pricing in two of our major territories, UK and Europe.
UK is now priced in Pound Sterling:
£1.29 for general release
£ 1.49 for new release
£1.99 for exclusive release and classics
Europe is now priced in Eurodollars:
1.49 for general release
1.99 for new release
2.49 for exclusive release and classics
We are committed to making our site the best digital dance music buying experience on the planet. In closing, we sincerely hope to maintain each and every one of you as a valued customer. However, we must keep our international partners needs in mind as well.
Thanks,

Doesn't the UK usually separate itself from the rest of Europe? ;) |

yea ... everyone who's pissed let them know, they won't ahve any way of realizing they messed up otherwise. For example, yell and holler that you want to see how long tracks are etc, and definitely bitch about the price jumps.
They can only assume from silence that alls well. |

Yes we all hate flash, but i dont think ther system is that bad.
Problems with the new system:
1) no track lengths
2) what happened to the forum? link leads back to home page
3) streaming glitch, will initially play file, then play back after 100% buffer
4) Still no PayPal
Also, did anybody try and brows through a genre, or label? It only gives you the view in album release mode, meaning with picture, but not in list process, very annoying. |

There is an option: 'Display your results as... 'Tracks' or 'Releases'! Just tick the right box! |
