pulse locker

I recently joined up (like within the month) but so far, it’s been pretty solid. Couple of thoughts:

1. Get the professional subscription. Not only can you use your integrated DJ software to download offline tracks, but it’s also the only package licensed for public usage.
2. You can setup your prefered genres and using their Explore menu link, it will show you new tracks and albums in your preferred genres for previewing.
3. What I’m finding myself doing is setting up playlists on their website per gig and allowing them to import into my software. At that point, I usually download them for offline usage regardless of whether or not they have available internet access for the DJ. If they do, I will search their library on the fly for anything I might not have if I go freestyle or get a random request.
4. Offline tracks appear to be in a proprietary format, so that they cannot be identified by filename or shared. You will need to make sure you connect your software and login to your pulselocker account at least once per billing cycle to have the offline tracks marked as available to play if you keep them longer than a month. Most of the time, the playlists (if setup by gig) are throwaway because any tracks you’d want on hand to choose from at all times shouldn’t be in a subscription library anyway. The “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” rule. Subscription goes away, and then does your music as well.

I do not see curated playlists available, however there are some labels that put out albums by genre/decade that contain hits from various artists that you can pull in one album at a time into a playlist.

Hope this helps. Last words… I like what I see so far and am probably going to continue the $20USD/month as it seems worth it to me at this point. I’m also a mobile DJ so it’s a bit more beneficial to me because my crowd can be very diverse at times and carry a hotspot with me to get me out of a jam when needed.
