PulseLocker does exactly this. https://pulselocker.com/ https://pulselocker.com/
edit: It's not "streaming" in the technical sense, but it is an unlimited subscription model.
- radley 13y agoI don't understand PulseLocker's subscriptions. What does the track count mean? I can't imagine only 25 tracks being useful for anything. Heck, a single mix can be 30 tracks, and that's whittled down from 100+ easily.
- trimbo 13y agoYou pay more per month if you need more tracks. The subscriptions I see go up to 1000 for $60. Then you can rotate tracks in and out. FWIW, I'm not a DJ, so have no expertise here. But the founder is one of the guys from Dirty Vegas. I'm guessing he finds this model useful, or at least knows people who do.

- alanctgardner2 13y agoMy understanding is you get a DropBox-esque directory where you can download n tracks, in addition to whatever you own otherwise. The tracks are all DRMed and log the number of plays, etc. You could have 30 PulseLocker tracks, and they can co-exist with all your other music. If you find you don't like some of your current 30, you can swap them out at any time for different tracks. I think the idea is that you can try out as many songs as you want, but you'll probably buy them if you use them regularly (so you can free up more slots to try out more tracks). Of course, the 1000 tier seems pretty bountiful, but I don't know anything about EDM.
