Good video. Would love another vs between pools like Headliners, Clubkillers, etc. Would also have liked it if you mentioned both of their mobile apps, and that an advantage DJcity has, is their desktop app. Also, BPM goes months, sometimes close to a year without updating their curated playlists. Right now, their trending list top 40 songs hasn't added any new songs to it sings around June. Overall great stuff though. Good comparison.

I've used DJcity as my go-to record pool since around 2013, but I've been pretty disappointed by it recently so I'll definitely give BPM Supreme a try!

@djkarlthomas

Have a little look round the pool before you subscribe for sure!

Is there a website that provides the songs at the bpm you request it to be, as recorded from a vinyl record and not bpm-stretched from a .wav, .mp4, .aiff, ect. files which causes a great loss of sound quality as when you do it yourself beyond 3 bpms on your own computer's DAW?

For me DJ city use to have the tunes before I'd heard them on the radio, now I'm hearing tunes on the radio and DJ city doesn't have them. The only problem I'm finding is I need a record pool that has all the RnB hip hop and UK stuff as well as the house side of things.

@djkarlthomas

💯 agreed mate, it just doesn’t have half the stuff it used to! Yeah and for sure, I feel it misses a lot across genres so you always have to top up elsewhere. I think that’s the same with most of these pools these days.

sorry this maybe a stupid question but I have never used a record pool and just bought downloads. Are the downloads encrypted in any way do they prevent you recording your dj set if they have tracks from either record pool?? also do the download tracks still work if you downloaded when you was subscribing but if you have cancelled your subscription or do they only work for the time you in in a subscription period??

@djkarlthomas

I have never had an issue with any record pool downloads. If you are djing on 8-inch speakers and have no subs I am not surprised that you didn’t have any bass. Speakers of that size are too small for a full range sound with rich bass.

@djkarlthomas

To be honest- don’t be put off by the questions on BPM, they are all automated and not checked in depth by an actual person. I know quite a few beginner DJs that have it. Best thing to do is try a record pool and see if you like it. Each one will have slightly different music and suits people differently however they are not a one size fits all- you will have to top up your collection with tracks from elsewhere too. Best of luck!!
