Did Beatport modify its BPM field(s)?
G'day guys,
Great continued work with the platform—it's even more important now that Beatport as sunset its 'Pro' desktop app.
I noticed very recently that, within individual crates; the BPM and key data is a longer available—it's now replaced with the dreaded '–' symbol.
Has Beatport changed its CMS and thus, said values are available within another field?
Strangely, in the "feed" view, the values remain.
Hope there is a reasonably easy fix and/or correction available.
Thanks, once again!

reset played track status or remove check mark
a way to remove the check mark of a track that has already been played.... i can think many reasons why you might want to reset the played status of the track so you can re listen again another day more carefully ... maybe there is a way of doing this already?? i cant find it
sometimes i just leave the player runing through all the tracks in the collection and preview new stuff while doing other things... then another day i want to be able to listen to all again to purchase the ones ive liked but i get…

Add a search to find collaborations between artists
For example I'd like to be able to search on Royskopp and then add a second filter of Robyn so that I can see all tracks that they've done together. I believe the old Beatport had that ability to do this. I haven't ever used the new Beatport so I'm not sure if it does this or not. But it's something I find myself wanting frequently. THANKS!

"Result Window Is Too Large"
Page 197 is the last page I'm able to view. When trying to go to Page 198 (or further to pick up where I left off) I'm greeted with the above error message.
Halp! :(

Mark tracks that have already been listened to better
Instead of using tiny check mark, you could gray out an entire track that's already been listened to, or place a green dot next to it the way that Beatport Pro desktop app does.

Add beatport's general top 100 as a genre
I listen to/spin multiple genres, so accessing the top 100 would be helpful.

Be able to search within multiple specific genres at once. Not just the choice of one genre or every genre.

Old tracks in feed
Almost every page of my feed contains tracks from Strictly Rhythm (a label I follow) released in the 90s. Is this another Beatport API bug?
2 votesBeatport is aware of this, there are several problems with track order that are all related.
If you don’t see this fixed 2 weeks from now drop a line to jason@crates.co and we can share any update we have from Beatport, the fix needs to be on their end unfortunately.

Drag and Drop Feature
Hey guys,
Something I love about the Beatport Desktop program is that you can drag and drop tracks from one cart to another. Would love for this site to have this feature. It will save a lot of navigation time thru menus.Thanks!

A way to hide tracks or releases (that you may have purchased elsewhere)
First off, I absolutely love crates... this is an amazing piece of software.
The problem I am running into is purchasing tracks accidently that already bought on (lets say Bandcamp ... which is in dire need of something like crates because its search function is not fun at all to use... but I'm sure we all know this).
I see that we can mute labels are artists... but what if I don't want to mute a whole label or a whole artist... Just single release.
Is this something that could be worked out? Like, maybe a "mute track" option?
Lots…

Settings option for endless & page feed view.
I liked the page view a bit better than endless. If you mute pre-orders and re-releases sometimes the endless "page" only has 5 songs. If you need to refresh the page then you need to click "load more" until you get to your previous position. I think an option for both views would be great!

highlight artists / labels followed differently in crates
Firstly love crates. Only recently discovered it after beatport discontinued their pro app for mac. Thanks for working this its great.
This may already be in place and I cannot find how to assert it yet but would be wonderful if the labels and artists one follows could be identified more easily within crates by maybe a different color font orotherwise
Beatport pro had this feature so I hope its doable with the API.

Track Skipping Intervals
It would be awesome to customize the amount of time a tracks skips when we press the left/right arrows. If we can't set the skip time to a specific length of our choosing, which would be preferable in my opinion, then maybe a few options would be adequate. 10 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute would be great options. Excellent work guys!

Import Text to Crate
This is a bit more "out there" but might be useful for quickly creating crates from your current iTunes (or other) metadata.
The idea would be to have an option to import a list of artists or labels and create a new crate from this. I haven't tried dumping a complete list of this data out of iTunes but I suspect it should be straightforward using existing applescripts. The tricky bit would be matching with actual artists/labels on beatport, as it would obviously be sensitive to slight differences in labelling and duplicate entries.
Perhaps there would need to be some…

Filter tracks by BPM
Would be great if you could only have tracks within a certain BPM range show up.

Filter out Radio Edits
I don't have a need for radio edits so would be good to be able to filter these out
