Max Kane Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I know there's a huge anti-beatport vibe across much of the message board community but I do still use it a fair amount as the exclusives are worth the hassle, however the new 'improved' beatport site is a real pain in the arse, it's so slow. Anyone else checked it out yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonman Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 i agree, they should never have remade it. I actually use beatport more than anything else, for my style of music, its the best hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It seems they've gone to a lot of trouble to essentially change the colour scheme slightly & to incoporate the playlist feature. Needless update yet it still slows it down so much. Other sites should follow DJDownload's example with the needle drop player, that has won them so much custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Mental Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Its ok once it finally loads, but I could have downloaded 3 tunes illegally in the time it takes! Couple nice new features, but the most annoting thing for me still remains - that you have to sign in every time and because its flash your browser can't remember the username / password. So annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So annoying. That's definately an annoyance with it. I don't think they have made any sweeping new changes to it, imo it wasn't worth the effort.

Judge Mental Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I know, its alright for browsing, but I love Juno in comparison for that, so simple and easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylo Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 mmmm i use beatport alot,i havent been on it in a while,ill check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I used beatport monday, I dont see any change cosmetically it is slow loading up though. Not worth all the big hype of the makeover at all though. Same old same old, apart from this cull of underperforming labels so I've read on a few forums?

Moonman Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 out of interest, does anyone know how much an artist makes via selling mp3's on said sites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Mental Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I remember on another board a few people saying that they were getting about 25%-is, with 50% to the site, and 50% split between label and artist, can't find the topic though so don't quote me.
