Domande
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 carica la mia musica?
No. I tuoi file musicali restano nella tua archiviazione cloud e sui tuoi dispositivi. I server di b2b non li ricevono, non li archiviano e non li inoltrano. L'unico audio che arriva è la voce che detti, trascritta e poi scartata.
