Beatboard Hacks: 3 Must-Know Tricks for Electronic Music Tigers

Tracks Beatboard reveals three little tips for regulars, mostly unknown to the 36 million annual users of the download site. The first two are for DJs and music lovers, the third for buyers of tracks, the third for producers and labels with the profile already mentioned on the website.

Tip # 1: How to rename a song file?

First, when you buy tracks from Beatport and download them, the file name is designed not to display the artist’s name. “Track ID”, a series of indigestible numbers, changes it, followed by the title of the song and the type of composition (original, remix, etc.). In fact, it can completely change its structure and display the information you want. There are two ways to do this:

1. First solution: Once you have purchased your song, you will be redirected to the downloads page. In the upper right, in the small green text, click “Customize file name”.
2. Second solution: Click on your profile picture to access your personal account settings. Then on the left, go to the “Download Options” tab.

Once on this page, you can select the audio quality type to download by default (MP3, WAV, AIF). Only then can you customize the structure of your song name. In the drop-down panel on the right, there is a series of “keywords” that allow you to define the sequence of information displayed in the file name. To see its name appear, first select {Artists, and then select any other desired data (title, label, composition, bpm, type, release date, etc.).

Tip 2: How long will the download last?

Tip # 3: How to edit an artist / label page?

As a producer and composer, your tracks will end up on different websites in Beatport called aggregators or distributors. These are labels that upload your tracks, automatically creating your artist profile on various purchasing and streaming sites. This does not allow you to have control over your artist page, which refers to your products, even if you already have a user account. To change your profile picture and description you need to go to the site called Beatport Jodform.

On this page, which looks very simple and geeky, it’s time to fill in your information: your email address, the name of your artist mentioned by the distributors, and the URL of your Beatport artist page.
