![]() What’s in it for artists and labels – theoretically, the potential for more DJs and more streaming revenue for your music when distributed to Beatport. It’s now released to all subscribers to Beatport’s LINK service, but will be “an entry-level stand-alone subscription tier within the LINK offering by mid-April.” But you’ll probably use it to preview music and assemble playlists to DJ elsewhere. You could actually run a DJ set off this – it even has MIDI input, controller support, and separate headphone outs, plus features like hot cues and looping. It does everything you’d expect a two-deck DJ tool to do, but in the browser. And we’ve got a first look at the interface – plus what it might mean for anyone making and releasing music (and what’s missing so far).īeatport DJ is a browser-based tool for Chrome and compatible browsers (Microsoft Edge, Opera). It is definitely where the company’s LINK subscription is going. I'll be more comfortable using it when Traktor adds it to File Management so I can see the BP2 library as well as iTunes and not instead of.Beatport DJ is a browser-based tool that combines finding music with mixing it right away. A big commitment up front! Not sure I am ready to do that just yet. So, it seems to me that if I want to use BP2 I am going to have to ditch iTunes or duplicate everything manually I do in terms of playlist creation and organisation. If I make or add music to iTunes and want to add that to BP2 do I have to do that manually? If I import my iTunes library again what happens to my amended BP2 playlists. ![]() I can import my iTunes library and modify it but that doesnt sync back with iTunes. Once done it reads BP2 and not your iTunes library. This involves exporting your library and then pointing your DJ software to that library. ![]() However, from what I can tell Traktor, Serato, Rekordbox cant read your playlists without a very manual work around that has to be done each time you update anything. Early days still so maybe it will become clear. I like the interface, filters and tagging capabilities but not sure how I can use this beyond that for my collection at this stage. I have such a wide variety and a lot of music that archiving for me is absolutely essential it's something I have to spend a lot of time on, therefore I hope these are not unnecessary questions. Although iTunes is a bit old hat now, one has the option to turn off the shop. I would prefer not and that is an invasion of privacy. * Is a user obliged to log into Beatport to use the program? If so, then I think this is a bad thing. That is a question that Beatport should answer clearly otherwise what's the point of being sucked into something that's free now * They say it's a free program 'now', will this always be the case. What about other music formats such as wav, aiff, etc. * Apple Lossless (m4a-files) are 'taggable' in iTunes, similar to that of mp3 files, is that also an option in this new Beatport software. ![]() Does it work with music that cannot be purchased online (music that has been converted to digital from vinyl) * Does it work with music that is not purchased via Beatport. * Beatport's explanation about the 'roundabout' way to integrate music into DJ software (Traktor for me) is unclear, any suggestions For example, what might be bass for one user may be defined as deep house for another. * Can 'custom' tags, genres or fields also be defined by the user (otherwise the user is tied to solely use Beatport's definition of tags). I hope I'm using this forum correctly I wanted to search for any topic related to the Beatport Pro 2 for Mac but couldn't find a search box.Īnyway, I have a few questions about this new piece of software, does 'anyone' know?
