does anyone know if its possible anywhere on Beatport to find out the key of a song before you buy it? It strikes me that this would be very useful, but i have no idea if that feature exists or not...

Now that would be awesome. doubt it tho dude.
It might pay off to memorize some of the rules here

and just learn to listen to the music and identify them on the fly.
haha yeah, i could do that couldn't I, but lets face it, we're lazy ;) and was wondering if Beatport had already done this for us, guess not heh
dunno about we, but cheers :D
Hmmm... I'd buy a good tune no matter what key it was in. Else all my tunes would be in A minor.
I've noticed I tend to favor my Am tracks, usually without even realizing which key they're in.Quote:

Its more a time saver than anything, if i'm looking for a song in a particular key, it would be nice to have that info readily avaliable if i have a list of 30 songs to choose from. Yes i am fully capable to go through each individuall track and find the key, but for the sake of saving time, personally i'd rather Beatport have this info on hand.
It's because there are more of them than anything else. Minor keys sound more epic and A minor uses the white keys on the keyboard so is the easiest key to produce in.
