Beatport Streaming offers practically the whole of the Beatport store catalogue for streaming within compatible DJ software without purchase – and the company has just announced two changes for its subscribers.
Firstly, you can now listen to full tracks within the Beatport store – as long as you are a paying subscriber. This removes a bugbear with online stores in general, and is a much-requested feature, allowing DJs to properly listen to songs before adding to their streaming playlists or, indeed, buying.

Beatport has also dropped their prices significantly. Prices of the two higher tiers of Beatport Streaming include “Advanced” at $15/month, and “Professional” at $30 a month, the latter with 1000 track offline playback.
The basic “Essential” subscription (no offline locker) is $10/month.
Beatport Streaming is currently available in Pioneer Rekordbox, Algoriddim Djay/Djay Pro, Hercules DJUCED, Virtual DJ, and Denon DJ’s Engine OS.
