I don't believe that's how it works. You don't get another copy of a vinyl if you break it or a VHS tape if you break it.
So if you follow this logic then no you shouldn't be able to redownload tracks.

BUT, if beatport and itunes don't let you re-download and your harddrive dies and you're dumb enough to not have a backup - you will probably end up priating the tracks, so they are sort of screwing themselves by not letting re-downloads.

Doesn't Itunes allow redownloads of any purchase, without paying for Match?

What?.. you can indeed re-download purchases from the iTunes store, otherwise people would have to purchase the same songs for their phone, ipad, macbook whatever other icrap they have.. I have to agree with Dr0me this is one of my major gripes with beatport. To say that you agree but then to put the blame for a money grab on another completely different business is nonsense. You sir should run for a Government office.

[–]BeatportCEOVerified[S] 1 point 6 minutes ago
In that use case, you are correct sir. I use iTunes Match, which I pay extra for, to sync music across my devices.

[–]eriwinsto 1 point 2 minutes ago
Yeah, iTunes In The Cloud is free--you can download any song or video or app you've purchased if you have your Apple ID.

[–]matlikeadoor 1 point 2 minutes ago
There have, indeed, been many changes over the last few years within the rights for music you purchase via iTunes.
The currently rights (active for the last few years) allow you to redownload any content you have purchased with the same ID indefinitely without paying for iTunes Match.
tl;dr iTunes does allow redownloading for free.
Edit: grammar

[–]BeatportCEOVerified[S] 1 point 11 seconds ago
I stand corrected and I will endeavor to find out how we can get the same rights.





some progress i guess.
