Talk:Beatport

message: It says "none" for DRM, but the files are all watermarked, which is at least related even if not quite the same. --Delirium (talk) 11:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed a sentence claiming Beatport is the best online music store as that's a pretty unsubstantiated/impossible to prove claim! Seems a lot less biased now than it once was though. Sabotini (talk) 17:30, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How are the files watermarked?  Sure, they have a standard ID3 comment that says "Purchased at Beatport.com", but other than that, I can't find any personally identifiable information. --UJ (talk) 20:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Which is completely unrelated to the question if there is a watermark at all. — 94.220.254.237 (talk) 20:26, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  It sounds to me like the above users were talking about digital watermarking. It's basically a repeating signature embedded into the music which although can't be heard can be 'digitally' seen. I'm just conjecturing mind you, I haven't actually checked their files. I do have to agree though this article reads like an over-the-top beatport testimonial which is funny because beatport has a lot of relevant history behind it, including their exclusivity clause and the DDA's (Dance Download Alliance) fight against it as well as a healthy dose of controversy. And don't forget the fact, they're not accepting new labels. They also changed currency options on beatport from USD-EUR some time ago and at the same time raised many prices by 30% or more without accounting for the new currency rate. And they also have strict policies/limitations which require their labels to sell X-hundreds of dollars per quarter or they get booted. While that might sound like 'quality control' what it means is yeah, you're gonna get the same 'top music' that everybody else has. So don't expect to find the little guys that are making bad-ass beats too. 78.89.22.166 (talk) 19:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why not then add such info, with neutral POV (with refs, of course), as it broadens the article out better. Jimthing (talk) 07:51, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Watermarking

message: How could this site get these many "Awards" when it is obviously a complete technical and user interface nightmare?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.196.68 (talk) 21:03, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wow, people are honest... 

message: "Beatport released the first 320 of its web store, Beatport 1.0, on January 7, 2004 with 79 Electronic Music Labels in its catalog."
What does '320' mean in this context honestly?  320 Kbit? 320 swans?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.225.80.12 (talk) 23:36, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  320 what? 

message: It appears that the www.beatport.com homepage redirects to unencrypted HTTP if accessed using HTTPS. (The redirection is something other than a 3xx status, possibly META REFRESH or JavaScript.)
As I am not a Beatport customer, I am not knowledgeable about any remaining HTTPS support.
What needs to be fixed in the infobox? (This should be fairly obvious, but I'm a bit too busy to fix it all myself at the moment) --SoledadKabocha (talk) 06:56, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
