New Beatport is live

Overall looks pretty good although a little cluttered at first compared to the old one. I like how you can generate links to a release. I wish they'd show chart positions for any track instead of having to go dig for them. In fact they don't seem to show chart position at all now when you go to 'view top 100'.

Cool, then I won't have to email support for the deeplinks anymore...

Sorry when I say they dont show chart position at all in 'view top 100' mean the actual number of the position alongside each entry is missing now within the chart.

Enjoying it so far!

it's getting an awful slating over on the GU board, at least they upped the bit rate on the samples, sounds a lot better on playback now

What are they saying?

I had some issues playing clips today. It only played for about 10 seconds and sometimes got in this weird loop. Also the loading graphic seemed a little buggy as well.

Was also thinking that an auto-complete function on the search box would be handy, especially for artist names that you can easily get wrong.

a few quotes

* "would be nice if it could get past the "loading" button....

and its woefully slow doing that....."

*"so I am not the only one that its not working for.

f#*ken useless."

* "did anyone try to check any top 100 charts ? cant even tell the position of each track ...what am i suppose to do now f*#king count on my fingers ..the player seems better though"

* "the player is f*#king up real bad here"

just a few but they do a lot of moaning over there too.

I'm sure there is going to be some bugs, which they'll fix when the complaints roll in

Hehe, nice.

Had those same issues myself. I'll give it a bit of a pass though since I'm sure its tough to get something with that much traffic working seamlessly straight out of beta into a realworld situation.
