For
DJs buying downloadable tracks
Worth noticing
The page says iTunes is targeted for launch; Juno and Qobuz are planned, while Beatport and Traxsource prices are still pending.

Field notes

The clickable demo uses sample tracks to show format-by-format price rows, including MP3/AAC, WAV and FLAC, alongside an energy rating and genre rank. The product is explicitly in development: the page lists iTunes as “at launch,” Juno and Qobuz as planned, and Beatport and Traxsource prices as still to come; it also says store links may earn commission without changing the buyer’s price.
