Are these tracks high enough quality not to sound like shit on a club system? Legit question - it’s why I purchase 320 kbps mp3s via Beatport. Also, does this

Are these tracks high enough quality not to sound like shit on a club system? Legit question - it’s why I purchase 320 kbps mp3s via Beatport.
Also, does this mean the tracks are licensed for public performance? So I can get paid $500 a gig and put on these tracks and not need to be at an ASCAP paying venue or liable for the rights?
These things matter, especially in such a bullshit “you only bought a license” music world where often they don’t tell you about the license itself (not the consumer’s fault, only really interests musicians and copyright geeks like me).
- crtasm 2y agoMy understanding is none of the streaming services integrated into DJ software cover licences for public performance. Just as you don't get that when buying a track from beatport etc.
- pbhjpbhj 2y agoIt specifically says on the Apple page [1] "sculpt your sets directly from Apple Music before you perform ... for DJs at any level ..." That can only realistically mean that you're paying for something to perform with. Otherwise it would be an incitement to copyright infringement... Does Beatport say "Tracks for you to perform with as a DJ"? If not, I can't really see how the comparison works. Apple Music even existing relied on trademark infringement so I guess expecting them to care about IPR is too much!? https://music.apple.com/us/curator/dj-with-apple-music/1798261090 https://music.apple.com/us/curator/dj-with-apple-music/17982...
- crtasm 2y agoIt continues "Think of it as a sketch pad or a rehearsal space, a home for DJs of any level to master their craft and shape their future sets." I agree Apple (and other services DJ software is integrating) are misleading people.
