Preguntas
Does b2b work with record pools?
Not today. b2b fills carts at Beatport and Bandcamp and links to the iTunes Store. Crate Hackers downloads from DMS and Late Night, which are subscriptions of their own.
Does b2b work with Serato?
Not yet. b2b works with rekordbox 7.
¿b2b sube mi música?
No. Tus archivos de música se quedan en tu propio almacenamiento en la nube y en tus dispositivos. Los servidores de b2b nunca los reciben, almacenan ni retransmiten. El único audio que les llega es la voz que dictas, que se transcribe y se descarta.
