Transfer window opens as Beatsource merges into Beatport

Beatsource is merging into Beatport, marking a significant development in the DJ-focused streaming and download service landscape. This integration is set to bring both platforms under one umbrella, enhancing the user experience by consolidating features such as playlists and purchase histories. With cautious optimism, users can expect a seamless transition as their existing accounts, active streaming plans, and login details migrate to Beatport.

While the entry-level Beatsource plan price will increase slightly, the current rate will be honored for the first three months, offering existing users a period of adjustment. This merge is designed to retain the essence of Beatsource while expanding its capabilities under Beatport’s well-established brand.

Beatsource is closing its standalone platform and merging with Beatport, transitioning all users during a designated transfer window that requires users to log in to initiate their account migration. Key components such as playlists, purchase history, active streaming plans, and login details will transfer to the Beatport platform. Importantly, purchase histories will be integrated as playlists on Beatport.

Certain elements, however, will not transfer. Items in the cart or hold bin are excluded, and previously purchased downloads will no longer be available for download after the migration. Users need to prepare their offline library tracks by adding them to a Beatsource playlist prior to transferring, as account access to Beatsource will conclude after the migration completes.

Regarding pricing, the entry-level Beatsource plan will see an increase, although the existing price will be maintained for the first three months for current subscribers. Meanwhile, the Beatsource Pro Plus plan will retain its current pricing. Users who currently subscribe to both platforms may reduce costs by consolidating into a single subscription. For those with annual plans, existing pricing will remain unchanged until their renewal date.

As Beatsource merges into Beatport, several pricing adjustments will take place, impacting both existing and new subscribers. The entry-level Beatsource plan will experience a price increase. However, for those currently subscribed, the existing price will be honored for the first three months following the merger, providing a grace period to adapt to the new pricing structure.

The Beatsource Pro Plus plan will maintain its existing pricing, ensuring continuity for users who rely on its features. For those who are subscribed to both Beatsource and Beatport, there is an opportunity to reduce subscription costs by consolidating into a single plan under the unified platform. This change promotes more streamlined management and potentially lower expenses.

Furthermore, subscribers on an annual plan will not face immediate changes to their pricing until the renewal date of their plan. This provision allows annual plan users to enjoy their current conditions until the end of the subscription term. Overall, the pricing strategy aims to provide a smooth transition for users while integrating Beatsource’s offerings into Beatport.
