**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!

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.

Thanks very much for the feedback and apologise for the delay to provide feedback on this post.
This is a feature that is currently under review as part of our continued product development.

Please, Beatport, read between the lines a bit when people make such requests: we want to be able to download all the possible Downloads we have with one button press. We don't simply want a 'Download All' button that is disabled and does nothing (such is the case in the current Beatport Pro application).

Using the Beatport desktop app, the "Available" section changes its number constantly, never matching the number shown on the actual Beatport website (Right now the app shows 503, but the website shows 770). I've clicked the Download All button multiple times, and it downloaded 711 actual files, but the playlist shows 884 items, with many duplicate rows (many/all of which point to the same file) and no easy way to get rid of the duplicates or filter for uniqueness. The website lacks a "Download All" button, and clicking 770 Download buttons one by one is a positively ridiculous proposition. I understand this is difficult to implement, but maybe there's a "Download All" button, which adds us to a queue, ZIPs all the files, and emails us a download link when it's ready. Maybe that ZIP file is stored temporarily on an FTP server so we don't kill your main website with the traffic. Or maybe investigate using Torrent technology for this, the way that different Linux websites do for their disk image download links. Frankly I don't care how it's implemented, as long as it is available, and it works, and I actually get to download every song I paid for and I can be sure that I am not missing any before the download deadline expires.

Other providers have had this function for years. Why not Beatport?

Yes please. My main reason I typically avoid beatport like the plague. Do something about this please. This is ridiculous. Please login to your AOL account and make the changes to the site ASAP. OMG!!!

Wow, just bought 2 albums and I forgot that I have to download it track by track on Beatport. And how should I know the track order? I need to check internet and rename each track and add 01, 02, etc. manually. Needless to mention that your file names are weird, for example the original track name is "Together, We Are... (Remix)" while your name is "404020_Together__We_Are____Remix". WTF? I will purchase from somewhere else next time.

Wow. I just logged in on mobile for the Above & Beyond album and it is unusable when I have to download each song individually. "DOWNLOAD ENTIRE ALBUM" button should be available.
I won't be buying here again. You guys really need to remember that we don't have to pay for the music. We do it out of loyalty so you really need to put the effort in on convenience.
This is multi-years now.

since bpdownloader seems to be offline for a while now and bp pro is more crap than i could use, this or similar improvements becomes urgent NOW. but after 2ahalf years of nothing is happening at all, it seems useless to ask for improvements - like in other tabs too. what is this whole "How can we improve Beatport Music Store?" thing for????

Beatport Downloader (now Beatport Pro) is not a solution to this. If I wanted iTunes I'd buy from iTunes. Beatport Pro is just a bad version of that.
+1 for Download All (as zip, from the website, without installing any more crapware). Won't be buying any more from BP until this is fixed.
