**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!

We are currently researching the technical requirements of having this feature enabled.

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.

I want zip, ´damn! This is quite stupid, i mean searching for music realeses etc is easy, organized, player.. i like it. But downloading every single track one by one in two clicks? That´s very annoying.

I just purchased a compilation album with 50 songs. How annoying. I just found another compilation album with 50 songs and it is on Amazon as well. Gee guess which site will get my next purchase?

sounds like the beatport downloader does what I want but why should i need another app to do what should be a basic function.

Also, clicking the Download button triggers off a slide-down alert from the top of the screen confirming the download before the browser has even initiated it. This has resulted in me clicking a few of the Download buttons in succession and even when I wait for the confirmation to slide down, if I click the next Download before the browser has started the download, Beatport confirms the download but the browser will only kick off one at a time. So you end up with a button marked 'Downloaded' but the browser hasn't downloaded that particular track.

I'm kinda surprised that this still isn't an option. Pretty clunky UX if you ask me...I just bought an album with over 20 tracks and I really don't see myself buying multiple tracks off Beatport again until they've implemented batch downloads.

The new download interface requires two clicks to download each track. This makes downloading a large number of tracks double the number of clicks. Please streamline the interface so that a single click per track does the job. That would be easy to implement.
Better yet, it would be nice to download a zip file of all the tracks in your download area with a single click. That would require more effort, but you don't have to worry about the extra storage space if you create the zip file, transfer it, and delete it. You could also limit the feature by only showing it if there are more than 10 tracks in the download area, for example. I routinely buy 10+ tracks at a time, and when it's up to 20 it's annoying to have to click everything individually, and then check to make sure I got them all, and I have to count the files in the download folder to make sure I didn't miss one and again when I put them in my music archive folders. If you gave me a zip file that would make my local "crate" management a lot easier.

Just use the Beatport downloader.

If you've not encountered it, check the Beatport Downloader software. It's not direct from the web page, but it does exactly what you want, and also lets you do things like set a default download directory, and customise the naming scheme of downloaded files (no more of that 157275_tunename_artistname weirdness!)

it is really annoying to purchase tracks in bulk and then have to manually click each single one to download.
i can complain about many items with your site, but this one frustrates me the most.

Please offer this. Other sites I have used offer .zip download for multiple files and it is so much easier compared with downloading 20 or so tracks one by one.

I wish to download a complete album purchase, rather than have to download each individual track, which sometimes results in missing tracks.
For example, I just purchased "Toolroom Knights" (https://pro.beatport.com/release/toolroom-knights-mixed-by-doorly/1307318), which has 33 tracks... it was WORK! Please make it easier for your customers to download their purchases.
