  • Due to temporary technical maintenance on the site, only WAV format will be available to download when our site first comes back online. No additional lossless fees will be added to your order.

    MP3 and AIFF format options will be available again soon thereafter.

    Please leave your preferred format selected at checkout. You will be able to download the files again in the preferred format once available. We will send a notification as soon as your order has been reset.

    Due to how we are serving these files, the file name structure will look something like this: 400868823_Pour_The_Milk_Extended_Mix.wav. WAV files do do not contain metadata, such at album art.

    Please note; if you are using the Beatport Pro Desktop app to download, and your file preference is set to AIFF or MP3, you will need to amend the file extension after download, as the app will overwrite the file type during the download. This may cause your files not to play in certain applications.

    We thank you for your patience!

  • This website is a reliable updated site with specific instructions on how to clear the cache for every browser:

    https://clear-my-cache.com/

    Please follow the instructions below to clear your cache on your MAC: https://clear-my-cache.com/apple-mac-os.html

    Please follow the instructions below to clear your cache on your WINDOWS: https://clear-my-cache.com/windows.html

    What is actually the cache?

    The cache, in computing, is a place where data is stored temporarily. As a user, you often usethe cache when using a web browsers. When you open a website, its contents are saved on your computer. As a website visitor, you don't notice this process, because the saving is done in the background. In the web, this enables faster rendering and shorter loading times. The data which is stored in the cache are HTML files, stylesheets, scripts, images and other media files. If you navigate on a website back and forward, the browser doesn't have to download all the data again but gets the required files from the cache. The browser compares superficiallywhat has been changed since the last visit so that only new files are downloaded.

    Why do we have to clear cache?

    The cache should be cleared regularly for several reasons. Depending on your settings, the cache can grow quite big and use a lot of disk space on your computer. And that's even if you don't visit some pages ever again. The more information that is saved in the cache, the slower your computer will be browsing the web. Deleting the cache data helps to troubleshoot, helps to increase the loading time of web pages and increases the performance of your computer.

    If the browser doesn't load the new version of the site, even ifthere have been changes on the site since the last visit, the cache can cause issues with the view. The website might look like it has not been fully loaded or is wrongly formatted. Maybe you already wondered why a website is showing outdated contents, despite it having been updated. That's probably because of the cache. Sometimes data, which is stored in the cache prohibits loading of up-to-date contents. When you delete the stored cache data, the new version can be retrieved. In many website related issues, the cache is the root of all evil. That's why your web developer/web designer or IT-Support first asks you to clear the cache before investigating further.

  • We do our best to provide our customers with quality music from the top dance labels around the world.

    We do not normalize, re-master or engineer our files in any way. The music available on our site is a true reflection of the received WAV file straight from the label. As the standards of quality differ for all labels, so will the music they produce. Releases available from mainstream artists are expected to be mastered professionally simply because they are likely to have the resources to do so. However as we continue to proudly support the music of independent artists/labels, this may not be certain. Not all masters are necessarily a fair assessment of our artists' standards, but rather the resources available in producing them.

    If you believe you have discovered a faulty or mislabeled track please report the issue to us by sending an email to [email protected]. Be sure to provide us with your username, the track name, your order number and the track times to any distortions or skips.

    This Privacy Policy describes the kinds of information that Beatport, LLC ("we") may collect about you through our group of websites, which currently include Beatport.com, Sounds.Beatport.com, and others where this Policy appears (the "Sites"), and what we may do with that information. Our contact details are Beatport, LLC,3501 Wazee Street, Suite 318, Denver, CO 80216.

    You may also email our Data Processing Officer regarding our Privacy Policy at [email protected]

    This policy applies to you if you visit the Sites, are a registered user on the Sites and/or make purchases on the Sites. It also applies to our content suppliers, and their representatives with whom we may come into contact during the course of business. We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time by posting the updated version here and changing the "version" date above. Therefore, please check this page for updates whenever you visit any of our Sites, and we may also elect to notify our registered users and our content suppliers of material changes via e-mail or other means. This Policy does not apply to information that may be collected off-line.

    By visiting or registering at one or more of the Sites, or by engaging with us as a content supplier, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by this Policy as it may be amended from time to time, and to our collection, transfer (if applicable), storage and processing of your information in the United States of America. If you do not agree to these terms, please navigate away from the Site and do not register, make any purchases or provide us with any personal information about you.

    What information do we collect?

    We generally collect two kinds of information through the Site: "personal information" about you which you provide to us, and "non-personal information" about you, your computer and technology, and your use of the Sites, which alone doesn't identify you personally.

    In order for you to become a registered user, make purchases from, or sell content through our Sites, you will need to provide us with certain personal information, such as your age, name, business name if applicable, e-mail address, street address and telephone number during the registration process. For online purchases or sales, we will also require your credit or debit card number, expiration date, billing address and related details (which may include your social security or other tax ID number) in order to process payments. We may also ask for additional personal information from time to time such as such as gender and income level, in connection with online promotions, contests, giveaways, surveys and other programs, but it's entirely up to you whether or not to provide that information to participate in those programs.If you are an individual supplier, you will need to provide us with certain personal information including your name, email address, telephone number, social security and/or tax ID number. If you are a representative of one of our corporate suppliers, we may during the course of business collect personal information from you such as your name, email address, and telephone number.

    We may also collect non-personal information from visitors and registered users of the Sites. We may ask you to provide some of that information yourself, such as your musical preferences, your favorite artists, labels or genres, or your purchasing, listening and concert-going habits. Other technical, geographic and usage data and information we may collect directly, such as your browser type, ISP, operating system, log and Site usage data, IP address, zip code or location, the pages you visit and music or other content that you listen to or access while on the Sites, websites you've visited upon entering or leaving the Sites, and if you purchase or sell content through the Sites we will keep track of those purchases and/or sales. Such information may be combined with your personal information.

    If you contact or communicate with us or our representatives by e-mail or through the Sites, or if you post any information on any forums, chat rooms, profile pages, feedback, customer service or other portions of the Sites, we may collect, retain and use any information that you provide.

    Do we use "cookies" or "web beacons"?

    We do use "cookies" to collect Site usage data and to improve your experience on the Sites and our service generally. A "cookie" is a small data file transferred to your computer for access on future visits to the Site, which can tell us that you (or someone using the same computer or IP address) visited our Site(s) before, what clips you've listened to, etc. You can stop accepting cookies by setting your Internet browser accordingly, but this will likely result in our not recognizing you or your preferences on future visits, so you may have to re-enter certain information.

    The Sites and e-mails from us may contain electronic images known as "web beacons." These are files that allow us to count visitors to our Sites, to tell if an ad has been viewed or if an e-mail has been opened or forwarded, or to serve particular content or services. Web beacons collect limited non-personal information, including beacon number, time and date of a page or e-mail view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides, all of which we may store and use. Disabling cookies may prevent some beacons' activity, but generally the beacons will operate if you visit the Sites or open e-mails from us.

    What kind of "cookies" do we use?

    Based on the guidelines found in the ICC UK Cookie guide, we may use the following categories:

    Strictly Necessary Cookies

    What do we do with the information we collect?

    Our main use for the personal information we collect is to process your registration, purchases and payments, and to maintain your account on an ongoing basis. If you are a content supplier, we will also use your personal information to make accountings and pay royalties to you. If you enter any contests, promotions, giveaways or other optional programs, we will use the information you provide to facilitate and communicate with you about that particular transaction, such as to notify you whether you've won, to deliver prizes. If you maintain a DJ profile page, we may use your personal information to communicate with you about that.

    We may also use your personal and non-personal information to enhance your experience with the Sites and our service, such as sending you e-mails and otherwise providing you with other information, content and material in which we think you may be interested; displaying content and ads according to your prior browsing history, preferences and location; fulfilling your orders; providing customer service and responding to your questions and comments; or contacting you about your account or about our and and partners' promotions, contests, surveys, or other promotions.

    Your feedback and other information will also be used to evaluate and enhance our Sites and service. For example, we may analyze the traffic and usage of our Site; the participation rate of our various promotions, offerings, e-mails, and other programs; and the popularity of our content, artists, and participating suppliers. We may also use that information for product development purposes, such as determining what other labels, artists, products and services our users are interested in, and for technical purposes such as monitoring the functionality of our servers and e-mail systems.

    We may share the information that we collect, both personal and non-personal, with third parties such as advertisers, contest sponsors, promotional and marketing partners, and the labels, artists and others who provide our content or whose products or services we think may interest you. We may also share it with our current and future affiliated companies and business partners, and if we are involved in a merger, asset sale or other business reorganization, we may also share or transfer your personal and non-personal information to our successors-in-interest.

    We may engage trusted third party service providers to perform functions and provide services to us, such as hosting and maintaining our servers and the Site, database storage and management, e-mail management, storage marketing, credit card processing, customer service and fulfilling orders for products and services you may purchase through the Site. We will likely share your personal information, and possibly some non-personal information, with these third parties to enable them to perform these services for us and for you.

    We may share portions of our log file data, including IP addresses, for analytics purposes with third parties such as web analytics partners, application developers, and ad networks. If your IP address is shared, it may be used to estimate general location and other technographics such as connection speed, whether you have visited the Sites in a shared location, and type of the device used to visit the Sites. They may aggregate information about our advertising and what you see on the Sites and then provide auditing, research and reporting for us and our advertisers.

    We may also disclose personal and non-personal information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in order to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas), to protect our rights and interests or those of a third party, the safety of the public or any person, to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity, or to otherwise comply with applicable court orders, laws, rules and regulations.

    Is your information secure?

    We employ administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. All credit transactions occur in a secure area of the Site using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to process orders, which encrypts the information you input on the Site. For the storage and processing of credit card information, we engage a third party certified as compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

    In addition, all personal user information is stored behind a firewall with limited administrative access. However, please be aware that despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

    Any information or material you may enter in publicly viewable portion of the Sites, such as on a DJ profile page, an online forum or comment section, chat room, or bulletin board, will be readily accessible to the general public. Therefore, do not enter in those areas of the Site any personal information (e.g., your name, e-mail or postal address, credit card details) or other information or materials that you would not wish to be publicly available. This also applies to any communications you may have directly with other users of the Sites.

    Does this Policy apply to any other sites or services?

    The Sites may contain links to the websites associated with record labels, DJs, artists, and suppliers of content to the Sites and to our advertisers, marketing partners, contest sponsors, or other third parties. Links, advertisements, promotions, or other mentions do not constitute our endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with any third party, or of their products or services.

    Third party sites have their own privacy and data protection policies and practices, and may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, and collect or solicit both personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information from you under rules different from this Policy. We do not control other sites, companies or persons and can't be responsible for your experience once you leave our Sites. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to carefully read the privacy policies, terms of use and other policies of other sites you visit.

To do so, please contact us by one of the methods described below stating your specific request and your name, address, e-mail address and phone number.

    European Data Protection Rights

    If you reside in the EU or if your data is processed in connection with our European business, the following provisions will apply to our use of your personal information, in addition to the general provisions of this Privacy Policy set out above. We do not collect any "sensitive" or "special category" data (as defined under European data protection law). In this section "personal data" means personal information and any other information which is personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").

    a) Data Controller

    For the purposes of the GDPR, Beatport, LLC, is the data controller of any personal data collected from or about you. Our EU representative is Beatport Europe B.V., with offices at Overhoeksplein 31, Floor 13 & 14, 1031 KS Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Pfuelstrae 5, 10997 Berlin, Germany; [email protected].

    b) Lawful basis for processing

    There are a number of different legal bases for processing personal data under the GDPR. Which one is applicable will depend on precisely how we are processing your personal data and for what purpose. Most commonly we will process your personal data where it is necessary:

    For the performance of the agreement we have entered into with you, and in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into an agreement;

    For the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests;

    In order to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject; or

    Because you have consented to the processing.

    Where we are processing your personal data for the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests, those interests include providing you with features, services, purchases or information you request, improving the quality of our website, services and purchases, for our own marketing purposes, and to investigate and prevent fraud. We will not use your personal data for these purposes when our own interests are overridden by the impact on your interests, rights and freedoms.

    c) Transferring your personal data to countries outside the EEA

    Where we transfer your personal data to countries that are outside the EEA we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements applicable to the personal data concerned. This can be done in a number of different ways, for example: the country to which we send the personal data may have been assessed by the European Commission as providing an "adequate" level of protection for personal data; the recipient may have signed a contract based on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission; where the recipient is located in the US, it may be a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme. In other circumstances, the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA. In all cases, however, any transfer of your personal data will be compliant with applicable European data protection law.

    d) Data retention

    We will only keep your personal data for as a long as required for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or as required to comply with any legal obligations to which we are subject.

    e) Your rightsUnder the GDPR you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. We respect and honor these rights and will help you to exercise them insofar as we are able. These rights are not absolute in some cases they will not apply to you, or to the particular use that we are making of your data, and there are exceptions (for example if we have to process the data to comply with our own legal obligations) but if that is the case we will let you know.

    At any time, you have the right:

    to request access to or a copy of any personal data which we hold about you;

    to rectification of your personal data, if you consider that the information we are holding is inaccurate;

    to ask us to delete your personal data, if you consider that we do not have the right to hold it;

    to withdraw consent to our processing of your personal data (to the extent such processing is based on previously obtained consent);

    to ask us to stop or start sending you marketing messages;

    to restrict processing of your personal data;

    to data portability (moving some of your personal data elsewhere) in certain circumstances;

    to object to your personal data being processed in certain circumstances; and

    to not be subject to a decision based on automated processing and to have safeguards put in place if you are being profiled based on your personal data.

    Any request from you for access to or a copy of your personal data must be in writing and we will endeavor to respond within a reasonable period and in any event within one month in compliance with European data protection legislation. We will comply with our legal obligations as regards your rights as a data subject. We aim to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate at all times. To assist us in ensuring that your information is up to date, please let us know if any of your personal details change at by contacting us at [email protected].

Note that you are not obtaining OWNERSHIP of the sounds - you are in fact purchasing a LICENSE to use the sounds within your musical compositions, whether or not your compositions are released commercially.

    The license is non-transferable, so if you are using an illegal copy of the product, you are not authorized to use the sounds. The original producer of the sounds will always remain the owner of the actual sounds.

  • Our WAV files are original master quality and offer more freedom with regards to file manipulation. However, since these original WAV files are devoid of any sort of compression you will find that one minute of music will result in a file that is about 10 MB in size. With the average track being about seven minutes long WAV files can have a voracious appetite for hard drive space.

    Our MP3s are encoded at 320 Kbps CBR (Constant Bit Rate) using a LAME encoder. 320 kbps is the highest possible bit rate setting a LAME encoded mp3 file can have, and this higher bit rate generally results in superior sound quality as well as a closer representation of the original sound.

    AIFF format which supports album artwork and full tags unlike the WAV files (Sample Rate: 44,100 Hz Sample Size: 16 bit Bit Rate: 1411 kbps).

Once the month is completed, the label will not be able to renew until sales for the trailing 12 month period fall below USD$10,000.00.

    Beatport reserves the right to disqualify any label from Hype if it believes that label does not fit the spirit of this program. For example, if a well-established artist creates a new label for a new project featuring that artist, or artists of similar stature, the label will not qualify for Hype. Likewise, if Beatport has any reason to believe that sales for a label are being manipulated in order to gain a higher position on the Hype charts, Beatport reserves the right to disqualify that label from future participation on Hype.

    All monthly fees are non-refundable once paid. Any termination will be effective as of the next renewal date.

    6. Hype Charts

  • We are currently using the latest version of ID3v2 for all our tagging as it is the most universally supported version of tagging for DJ software and hardware.

    Unfortunately, other software and hardware titles such as Windows Media, Winamp, Windows Explorer, Vista, etc. use other tagging conventions.

    Currently, iTunes is able to read ID3v2.4. If you import your tracks directly to iTunes after downloading them, you will see the ID3 information, even though it's not displayed when opening the files from a Windows program.

    You can use iTunes to convert the tags back to an older ID3 version that could be read by my other software:

    Just open the tracks in iTunes, right-click them, choose 'Convert ID3 tags' and choose an older version in the ID3 tag version dropdown list. Version 1.1 allows the tags to be read in Windows Media Player, Windows Explorer, iTunes and Serato.

  • In the United States and UK buying a track from the site is just like buying a record from the record store. The same legal implications are in effect. However, certain regions have different restrictions regarding the legality of playing Digital Music files. We suggest you visit the website of your local publishing / mechanical service to get a more detailed answer. We also recommend that you keep a copy of your order receipts with your music to prove that you have purchased your music legally.

  • When you click the 'Download' button within your download library on Beatport, your browser will launch a small window giving you two choices, to 'Save the file' or 'Open the file.' We prefer that you 'Save the file' to a location where you can keep track of it. If you choose to 'Open the file' your download will start but will be placed in your temporary internet folder. This folder clears when the history and/or cache clears.

    If you have accidentally opened your files rather than saving them, please let us know and we would be happy to reset them for you.
