**Download Multiple Tracks/Albums in .ZIP**
If I purchase an entire album, I should be able to download it in one hit - e.g. in a zip file or similar. I just purchased an album and had to download each track one by one, right-clicking and saving from the player for each one. Painful and unnecessary!

I really wish i found this thread before i bought 77 tracks. Most painful DL process EVER. It's 2020. I'm shocked.

You are researching it? Jesus wept, it is 2020 and you can’t enable a zip file?
From a service point of view, this is one of the worst businesses Ive ever dealt with

Beatport's exclusive grasp on so many labels is a travesty. I detest that it is often the only place to find lossless audio of a particular album. Spending two hours clicking download links one by one is a huge waste of my time (and can't even be automated by DownThemAll or other browser plugins thanks to JavaScript screwery).
People will opt to pirate music over less. Y'all need to get your act together.
Let me save you some time. The technical requirements are:
* Cloud storage
* CPU time
* File transfersThat is literally it. Just archive things into one file. You don't need to compress the ZIP contents. Bandcamp doesn't compress their ZIPs.
Give your developers a plan and these requirements, then get out of their way. I promise you, they will want to do it too.

This is ridiculous!!!
Surely it doesn’t take this long to create software that outputs a selection of files into a Zip?
Cmon guys.....

Never used beat port before, I used to torrent all my music when I was a scrotty teenager, but then I moved to vinyl and Spotify for the past 8 years
I’ve started DJing digitally so wanted to build a (legal) mp3 collectionI Downloaded the D&B arena album and was so surprised I have to download all 63 tracks manually! All with stupid file names too! I was under the impression beatport was the place to go for downloading the latest electronic music but this is what tiring me off substantially when you can torrent a nicely organised album for free... I won’t be using beatport much longer if they don’t introduce something so simple as ZIP downloads!
Even if it was a standalone application (comments from 2015 suggest one exists but I can’t find it!) then that would be so much better than faffing around downloading track by track and organising them all after. Really really surprised this isn’t doable in 2020! -

Beatport is obviously going downhill . This is such an obvious thing it boggles the mind we'd even have to ask. The site has barely changed how users get tracks. If anything we've lost features since they stopped BPPro for PC users. I mostly get my tracks elsewhere because of their lack of implementing basic features to make my life convenient that other sites have. The few tracks that I can't find anywhere else I'll go to Beatport, then spend time organizing and renaming files to something useful and they have the nerve to up charge for lossless but not even provide the tracks in an organized manner. It's a shame.

Guys,
It takes ages to download all bought tracks.
I bought 153 tracks, no doubles and I already downloaded the whole list twice because I keep ending up with less songs then I've bought.Please, implement this QOL improvement.
It will save your users a lot of time. -

Honestly guys at Beatport, you really need to pull your finger out with all these requests and suggestions. This request was made in Feb 2015, then in September 2019 its finally ‘Being Researched’ ...wait what!
This isn’t good enough! It’s taken 4 years for a response to be made, I’m actually thinking what’s the point in everyone making great suggestions when nothing will get done?
Being able to download an entire album, or even 10 purchased separate tracks, should have been implemented into this software MANY years ago. I’m shocked this is not a feature on the site, and judging by a few comments below from customers, this should have been made a priority by now.
Please give this your attention soonest

Shockingly bad. Very obviously bad user experience.
I had to click on 43 download links to download the contents of 3 albums? Chrome skipped files because I was downloading too fast and I double downloaded files. I had to go back and make sure I download every file comparing with the track listing on the album. I'd missed about 7 files and had some duplicates... I realize I should be more careful when clicking 43 links in a row, but why is this even be possible? Shouldn't it be 3 zip files?
"Beatport. Oh right, that's the place that makes you download each song one by one..."
If I have a choice I'll always go somewhere else.

Just thought im chime in on this. Im just about to buy 400+ tracks in your %50 level up promotion. My selection consists of a mix of single track downloads and multiple albums. Once i've gone through with the purchase ill have all my tracks mixed up and have to sort them all manually checking each track in each album manually. This is many hours of tedious work that could be avoided. I'm here now becuase i was searching for a way to download my albums as whole units thinking (hoping) perhaps id missed something. Please expediate this feature and take care of your PC folks too.
