How can I include updated genres for my content using Baseware Remote?

At this time Baseware Remote will not be updated to reflect the most recent genres changes and will continue to display its original list of genres and sub-genres.  The application can still be used to package content and genres can be amended manually by our genre support team (send request post-delivery to [e-mail]) or by following the steps below prior to delivery to Beatport.

In order to select a Beatport genre / sub-genre* not currently present in the Baseware Remote application please do the following:

1.  Select a genre for each track included in your release using Baseware Remote's current list of genres.  This genre can be changed in Step 4 below.

2.  Finish compiling your release using Baseware Remote and 'Create Package' as usual.  This will create a folder which includes audio file(s), artwork, and an XML file containing release/track metadata.

3.  Open the .xml file containing the release/track metadata using an XML editor such as XMLSpear or EditiX Lite.  A text editor will work as well but will not display errors if XML is not well-formed upon editing.

4.  Replace the existing track genre(s) within the XML with the desired genre / sub-genre.  Please refer to the link at the bottom of this page for a complete list of Beatport's current acceptable genres and the proper XML notation.

5.  Save changes.

6.  Deliver via usual delivery method.
