Beatport Specs
Beatport and the other DJ stores (Traxsource, Juno Download) are the strictest about audio quality - DJs play these files on club systems, so only full-quality masters are accepted.
Artwork
| Cover art size | 3000×3000 px, square |
| Format | JPEG, RGB, highest quality |
| Text rules | No social handles, URLs or store references |
Audio
| Delivery format | WAV 16-bit 44.1 kHz minimum (stereo) |
| Mixes | Extended mixes expected for club tracks; radio edits as additional versions |
| Consumer formats | WAV, AIFF and MP3 320 kbps sold to DJs |
Loudness
| Normalisation | None at the store level |
| Practical advice | Club masters are traditionally loud, but keep true peak below -1 dBTP for clean encoding |
Worth knowing
- Genre tagging matters enormously on Beatport - the wrong genre buries the release.
- DJ stores expect clean metadata: no featuring artists in the title field, correct remixer credits.
