Beatport will update January 21st, 2009 and gave a short preview of the features to come.
Finally – a playlist and a possibility for cueing tracks, a long waited feature. The sample seems to be divided to several areas. Is that a feature to listen several samples of the track like at DJDownload? And hopefully they’ve also added a feature to buy only a part of the tracks you’ve added to your cart.
The best is about to get better? They also dropped their prices which was a nice surprise.
You shouldn’t forget that about the same time most of the less selling labels will be cut off.
It can mean a huge cut to those label’s sales. It could mean the sound of DJ’s might get more homogenous. It could mean Beatport becomes more elitist kind of market place.
But it could also mean that the quality of music will go up again.
Who knows, I’m not a clearvoyant.
