If you’re a BeatSource user, you’ll likely have already received an email with some significant news: the platform is set to be fully integrated into Beatport. Here’s a clear breakdown of what’s happening and what you need to do.
What’s changing
BeatSource is being absorbed into the Beatport ecosystem entirely. The integration is expected to roll out over the coming months, and when it does, BeatSource will no longer operate as a standalone platform. Users have two options: transition to the Beatport integration, or terminate their BeatSource account.
How to make the move
If you want to transition, the process is straightforward. Log into your BeatSource account and initiate the transfer from there. Your existing data – including your purchased tracks and playlists – will carry over to the new platform. Your exclusive DJ edits will also make the move with you.
One important step before you do anything: download all your purchased tracks first. Once the transition is complete, you will no longer be able to download them from BeatSource. Don’t skip this step.
What you gain
For users who are currently paying for both a BeatSource Pro subscription and a Beatport subscription, the merge means you’ll be consolidating into a single subscription going forward. Beyond that, the transition brings access to a larger music library, a mobile app, and broader compatibility with different DJ software.
A word of caution
Platform migrations don’t always go smoothly. Before you initiate anything, back up all your data independently. Even if the transfer process works without a hitch, having your own backup means you’re covered if anything unexpected happens.
The bottom line
If you’re an active BeatSource user, the key actions right now are: download your purchases, back up your data, and then decide whether to transition or close your account. Keep an eye on further communications from BeatSource and Beatport as the integration date gets closer. More details here.
