The place of all places for Dance music sourcing is finally introducing a very handy lossless format.
Great news comes today from Beatport, the go-to website for sourcing Electronic music. They’ve expanded their offerings with the introduction of high-quality FLAC audio. Now, both Beatport Streaming Professional and Beatsource Streaming Pro+ subscribers can enjoy a wider range of music with crystal-clear sound quality, and with considerably less size and, in turn, buffering time.
FLAC audio files are smaller in size, yet still a lossless way which doesn’t compress the audio information in the way other extensions encode data, for example the various instances of mp3 which, although very handy, sacrifice clarity and a wide range of frequencies to save up on size.
Adding FLAC format to Beatport will ensure DJs experience faster loading times than with WAV or AIFF, while delivering uncompromised, professional sound quality. Professional plan subscribers can easily switch between streaming audio quality in their chosen DJ platform.
“At Beatport, our mission has always been to provide DJs with the highest quality music and the best tools to elevate their performances”, said Helen Sartory, Chief Revenue Officer of The Beatport Group. “The introduction of lossless FLAC audio to Beatport Streaming is a game-changer, ensuring that our subscribers can deliver the ultimate sound experience to their audiences. This upgrade reaffirms our commitment to innovation and excellence in the world of DJ music“.
