I do and it’s not quite there yet. I was expecting it to pick up all the saved artists/labels i have on my regular account but i guess it’s their way of giving me a fresh start =P ---

Yeah I’ve got an invite. Here’s one of the biggest and best names in Techno ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/2/0/20f30f81c9349a79a16f545a857075ee86c34f26.jpeg) Badly sorted. impossible to go dig through EPs and singles. Instead I just get a list of what seems to be random tracks - some of them even show up more than once. Maybe I’m doing something wrong - maybe this is for the EDM kids.. dunno 🙂 ---

I can’t find shit. No digging or comprehensive search. What’s the point of this site? Paid promotion from labels to get better coverage? ---

> [@Nicky\_H](#): > > Hmm I misunderstood - I thought they were launching a DJ streaming service, this is just EDM last.fm Nah, this was for non-DJs with Beatport Pro being for DJs. It seems a lot of people don’t like the new Beatport Pro interface though. ---

> [@Glitchwerks](#): > > Nah, this was for non-DJs with Beatport Pro being for DJs. > > It seems a lot of people don’t like the new Beatport Pro interface though. But Beatport is for DJs, why would non DJ’s want to listen to full length mixable tracks? i.e. 2 minutes worth of mixing bars… I just don’t see the point in this at all. This would be cool as a paid subscription service that could sync playlists with Traktor or something. Their Beatport pro interface is just awful. ---

Yeah I can’t see regular listeners caring for 7minute tracks average listening of their demographic is what 3minutes? Gotta love add ---

Based on the screencap that **decon** posted, all I can say is that it looks like the site is a bit chaotic at the moment. I don’t think that looks like it’s for DJs, regardless of the track lengths. Too unorganized. Basically I agree with you that I don’t see the point either! ---

got into the beta today. the biggest benefit for djs is full length track previews. the only down side is they use infinite scroll instead of page listing. it can take forever to find a track.

[/quote]unless im studying a track so I know all the parts well when i play it out i skip intro and outro beats. for casual listening those parts of a dance track usually aren’t very interesting. especially if they’re very generic with no melody. those tracks where the producer actually put some effort into the intro and outro beats i’ll listen to from start to finish without skipping ahead. ---

I have a beta invitation to beatport’s new stream service. It’s not where it needs to be yet - but I see this being AWESOME in the future. The main reason? There are so many times when I’m digging for music and I’d like to hear the track all the way through. Or the blurb beatport has given doesn’t quite line-up right and you miss something. This will give you a chance to listen to the whole track. But right now unless you specifically know the artists you want to listen to - it’s browsing functionality needs work.
