BeatPort
February 27, 2004

I've just signed up at BeatPort. The digital download network. Which I think is a must for all Final Scratch users [not that I am one... yet!]. This is what they have to say about themselves...

Beatport was launched to solve a problem. With the release of so much exciting new DJ technology specifically aimed at the dance market, there was no place for the DJ to find the best dance tracks from the best labels. What was needed was a DJ friendly, digital record store. A store where you can easily, quickly, cheaply and legally buy music. Enter Beatport, a digital network created by a group of likeminded DJs, artists, promoters and marketers to close the gap and accelerate the dance market into an entirely new realm.

In late 2002, the design of Beatport began to bring the dance music industry into a new era of promotion and distribution. Beatport provides everyone from the pro to the bedroom DJ access to the music they need in the format they want. Dance music that was previously only released on vinyl will now be made available to the consumer in mp3, mp4 and Wav file formats on a pay-per-download basis. And at the simple click of a button. Like never before, DJs of all caliber can log on, download and play in a matter of minutes.
