Beatport, the recognized leader in electronic music downloads, today announced the launch of Beatport SYNC, a free music playback application based on Native Instruments’ Traktor DJ technology.

With Beatport SYNC, users are able to play, manage, and mix music.

Play.

Beatport SYNC’s two playback decks have pitch control and users are able to play tracks from their music library plus previews from Beatport’s music store.

There are a host of Traktor-inherited features in Beatport SYNC including automatic crossfader, tempo detection and beatmatch syncing.

Users are also able to listen to a few select dance music radio stations in Beatport SYNC.

Manage.

This application is based on Native Instruments’ powerful track management system which includes advanced meta-data editing functionality and an intuitive track browser. The application supports many digital music formats including MP3, MP4, AAC, WMA, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, OGG, and Audio CDs.

Mix.

Users can mix track previews from Beatport’s music catalog of 360,000 tracks with a track from their current library. This cutting-edge feature means users are able to check whether a track will mix well with another song in their music collection before purchase.

“Beatport SYNC is a great example of how our partnership makes technologies connect,” says Beatport CEO Jonas Tempel. “It offers a great option for people to conveniently discover the latest in electronic music and instantly be creative with it.”

“Our alliance with Beatport is about making music performance and music distribution come together with all our combined expertise,” said Daniel Haver, CEO of Native Instruments.

“After the successful integration of Beatport and Traktor, Beatport SYNC marks the next important step in this direction, and one that should introduce even more music fans to the creative gratification of DJing.”
