ZipDJ's Pool : Your thoughts
ZipDJ's Pool : Your thoughts Posted on: 24.06.2013 by Yajaira Harang Since last article of DJTT on Record Pools (http://www.djranking
s.com/2013/05/0...-2013-edition/), i decided to go for one, and found that ZipDJ was probably the best of them.What are your thoughts about this ? I usually buy my music on Beatport (and very few ones on iTunes), always on MP3s, and i spend most of the time 30 | |

Bit slower listening then zipdj. but still ok and the same as zipdj you can download in zip files. and for 15 dollars a month it's not a bad deal. And it got a lot of re edits intros member remixes etc. And for my latin stuff http://www.latinosunidosonline.net/ but they have a real large collection of house music. i believe i paid 180 dollars for a year. For pre listening it's not that good but if you don't mind having the the tunes a bit later at the end of the month you can download a whole genre in one big zip file. enough mainstream stuff in there as well. at the end i pay for 2 pools the same as zipdj in a year even with the disscount they give you this month, and crateconnect i can get out any time i want. But nothing bad about zipdj i liked it but crateconnect gave me something new for now. |

So is it a good portal to find knew music and not spending hours on there ?! That was actually a big point that decided me to go into a Record Pool, going everywhere, in every genre etc on Beatport is like ruining your budget ! Arg Thanks for all these answers already |

I really dont blow my wallet on 2.99 a piece songs anymore. With unlimited downloads, a variety of genres I dont believe you can really go wrong... I downloaded around 300 tunes last month. Only a few songs that I knew of I wanted last month were not on zipdj. But will most likely be on there next month. So 30 bucks over 900 works for me heh |

| Yajaira Harang 27.06.2013 | I believe i have to get a try with ZIP, as i said i play a lot of Electro/Progressive House, but i feel like i have to try everything, so that's why i was wondering so much things about this pool ! Hopefully i sea clearly, i believe i won't get ALL the music i want to discover, but at least a lot of mainstream music, for the rest of the content, i'll have to give it a go ! I'm also interested in any cool pool you all have tried or liked |
| Julissa Serrone 27.06.2013 | ZipDJ is one of...if not my lease favorite pool. Maybe it's the music I play, but i much prefer DJ City, DMS, BPMSupreme, CK, etc. I tried them a few years ago, and it had so much "fluff", stuff that will never get played....and many of the songs at the time did not have the bpms listed. I rememer when I cancelled the dude called me and he said the best thing Zip offered was sooo much selection (he called it candy); truth is you can give me 1000 songs to choose from but I can only play a handful a evening . And if much of the batch is a worthless remix it just takes time to go thru each one. For me quality over quanity any day. Try it, maybe you'll like it. I tried a bunch of them before I found the ones I really liked. |
| Marcelina Hanaway 27.06.2013 | How much is the year membership? I'm blocked here at work. |
| Wilson Durrum 27.06.2013 | I will say the customer service is AWESOME!!! I rarely have an issue but when I do they get right back to me and resolve it very quickly. |
| Wilson Durrum 27.06.2013 | Thats a lot of $$$ to pay out at one time. I did a 6 month deal back in March that came to $30 a month. I hope they will offer me another deal when my plan is up in Sept. |
| Markus Mcnece 27.06.2013 | That's why I'll stick with zip, it does me just fine! |
| Carlee Pickard 27.06.2013 | They're offering 50% off right now if you purchase a full years subscription from them I believe. |
| Yajaira Harang 26.06.2013 | yeah, totally agree with that, i believe best would be multiple pools, but that's a bit unaffordable for everyone x) |
| Markus Mcnece 26.06.2013 | btw anyone know just how many labels zipdj has cuz it seems like a lot? |
| Markus Mcnece 26.06.2013 | In a perfect world I would love to be able to afford up to four pools just so I can get everything I want and need, but that costs a lot, so with this said I have found and stuck with zipdj cuz its reliable, fast, I believe faster now cuz they upped their servers I heard through the musical grapevine. For my gigs I need variety, high quality sound, and legal tracks. Not to mention someone always gets back to me which isn't something I can say for other sites. Since I can only afford one and I since I play a lot of house, dance, and tech-house I'm good with zipdj too. plus it looks so much more pro than other pools which at times I wonder where my money is going. just sayin' |

| Wilson Durrum 25.06.2013 | I live in the US and have been a member of zipdj since last year. They are based out of Canada and have a wide varity of genres from Pop, Hip Hop, R&B, Country, Rock, Electro/Prog House, some Trance & Dubstep as well as many others. I still find myself buying a few tunes from iTunes or Beatport if they do not have them. I am not sure what you mean by international tracks, if you want to send me a list of artist & tracks I can search the website and let you know if they have them. I believe you can do a trail subscription as well that way you can search the site and listen to tracks but you cannot download them so you can decide whether you want to join. |
