Beatport Link Lacks Underground / Unreleased MusicĪs there are unknown and upcoming DJ producers on SoundCloud you will come across a lot of music that is not available on Beatport. The biggest annoyance being that sometimes you might find that you’ve added a track that’s a “preview” track about 1:40 to 2:30 minutes long. In my eyes this causing quality control to be lacking and lets down SoundCloud. Music is released on SoundCloud by anyone that may of downloaded and then re-uploaded music to SoundCloud.

It’s a substantial jump that makes offline playlists a more feasible and realistically useful feature. The Offline Locker storage feature, which previously allowed its subscribers to download 50 tracks for offline play, has increased its capacity to allow for 1,000. The latest update to Beatport LINK‘s Pro subscription – which runs at $30 USD per month – comes with a new feature that may be the appeal it needs to draw more users to the service.
