Their new redesign is little more than a visual facelift; few of the really important changes have been made. Juno > Beatport. I'll probably write a little more about that later...

I liked the playlist, and the hold bin. They havent implemented some functions of the playlist still.
Audio quality is better, and the new "link to this page" has been very usefull.
I think theyre still strggiling with bugs.

How about useful filenames? FLAC support? Fair pricing and bulk discounts? Sure, there are some fancy new interface features, but Beatport hasn't upgraded anything that really counts.
Juno really broke the barrier recently... finally you can get digital downloads in CD quality for less than the cost of a CD. With Beatport you're still doling out way more: USD$24.90 for 10 tracks at the very least ($29.99 for a new release and as much as $34.90 if you get conned into their "exclusive" content)... And Juno? $13.34 for a brand new 10 track release in CD quality vs $14.95 at Saikosounds. Right now that's an unbeatable deal.

I dint know that, I will be cheking Juno, but the problem you may also know
who is buying full cd's lately???
Buying a full album is an excentricity for edm fans right now.
Any way, hope the other stores keep their catalog growing also.
