    Default [ot] non-exclusive 'exclusives' on beatport and junodownload

    Deetron's latest release (Raveline Mix Sessions) is labelled as an EXCLUSIVE on Beatport. Why then, is it also available on Junodownload? What is meant by 'exclusive', and how many other such releases are there?

    You're right, I've seen this, too. And it happens more or less regularly that tracks are advertised as exclusives when they really aren't.

    If you're a penny-pincher like me, this means you should still do a price comparison. We know BP likes to charge higher prices for tracks they label as exclusives.

    Maybe it was exclusive when it was released and BP didn't change it?

    Actually appeared first on Junodownload. Not because I'm a 'Pennypincher' (sic), but because Rand/Dollar/Pound exchange rates are so volatile, I checked beatport. I went with the latter BTW.
    Just wondering

    Well, then it could be the other way around. But generally, that's the same way I handle tracks.

    There are sometimes when BP simply makes errors. I found one this last week as well.

    However, more times than not, is that Junodownload will post things on their site weeks before their release date. So in other words, if BP has exclusivity for only a month, Junodownload will possibly have a place holder for it (complete w/ release date, and a function for them to email you when it's released).
