    I was with CD Pool for ages, but just moved to Promo Only and it's far better, and faster at getting releases out most of the time too.

    Well, I've jumped ship with CD pool, Promo Only are currently half the price, and one or two folk reckon it's the way forward.
    I have to say I'm not enamoured of the download system, it's a tad cumbersome catching up with past releases. Perhaps once I'm caught up it will be easier.

    The download system is a little cumbersome at times (a "download all" button would be nice for starters).

    Once you're used to it though.....it's really easy. I'm in the habit of checking and downloading every evening (mine are automagically uploaded to my iTunes Match account so sync down to the playout laptops when I prep for a gig)

    I agree about a download all button.
    However, please do not fall into the trap that gets Toby every time. Windows based programmes only please, no fruit based ones thank you.

    CD Pool Mobile DJ Pack & Mastermix Pro Disc at moment for me. Might look at Promo Only at some point. But I don't know if they do the music on hard copy as well as the downloads.

    Just switched from CD Pool to Promo Only and so far very pleased.

    I still use Mastermix DJ monthly for the extended intro DJ Beats version of current hits. Total of £22pm, job done!

    Using a download all button on Promo Only would be overload. Would you really need 5 different remixes of the same song! Happy to have the choice to pre listen and choose the one or two remixes I might posssibly use.

    What are you on?
    If I've bought five different versions, then five different versions I'm having.
    In the old days, we'd often get a wodge of remixes when we bought a CD. They were all on the playout, but we didn't have to use them.

    I use Promo Only but find that there's way too much product. CD Pool was more balanced IMO. Hardly any guitar based music on Promo Only.
