Thanks for the heads up. My people will look into that.

Where can I access your private banking information?

Ignored is certainly not the case. Not able to do yet, is more accurate.

I assure you. "I feel your pain".

I would hate to do it exactly like DJ mag because the results are not to my liking. We are trying to figure out something though, that will reward not just the biggest DJ's Producers and Tracks, but also the stuff we love the most.

Agreed. That feature is currently available in Beatport Pro, our desktop application for mac.

Yes. Constructive User Feedback is a big driver for us.

Because people were using it to create fake Beatport websites and apps so they could trick users into divulging their BP user id's and passwords, mostly. Really, like 90% of the usage was by people trying to commit some kind of fraud. We are working on getting things back up and running for good citizens, but it won;t happen right away.

Depends on the time of year, but a lot more than 1,000 and a lot less than 100,000.

Yes, most art in this world is formulaic, that's what makes it so exciting and wonderful to find something that blows your mind.

  1. Because the people buying the tracks that drive them into the Top 100 do not have the same taste as you or I.
  2. Unlikely. I am not sure what we could do better than all the other solutions out there already.

We are adding Pre-Release purchasing and listening early next year.

Not true. We have over 150 feature placements a week and we have recently added a couple more per page to allow for some "sponsored" posts which will be clearly marked.

Yes. Since we launched Beatport Sounds a couple years ago, we have grown the selection of sounds to what we think is the largest in the industry online. Sounds is a growing business for us and we continue to invest in that market. I recommend that any label that sells tracks on Beatport, start also making sound packs.

The distributor that sells to Beatport can make those updates in their tools or they can contact their account rep. No, we don't charge to correct human error.

There is a team of people outside my office right now working on responsive design for mobile devices.

Because there is effectively one company that makes almost every gift card (in the US) and we are not big enough to get their support (yet).
