Beatport’s streaming service for DJs now offers lossless FLAC for Professional plan subscribers with access to over 12 million electronic music tracks. Support is available for a number of DJ hardware and software platforms such as djay Pro, VirtualDJ, DJ.Studio, Edjing Mix, Tribe XR and Serato DJ Pro for Macs with CDJ-3000, rekordbox, and Traktor ‘coming soon’. Beatport Streaming Professional subscribers can easily switch between streaming audio quality in their chosen DJ platform, or if this is yet to be implemented can do so via the new Streaming Preferences section on Beatport.com.
Professional tier Streaming subscribers may choose to stream tracks in either 256K AAC or lossless FLAC audio formats using supported DJ software. There is a caveat that lossless is only available via supported DJ software, and is not available when streaming via Beatport.com, Beatport DJ, or the Beatport app.
