Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about DJ pools, downloads, and RPOOL.ID.
A DJ record pool is a subscription service where DJs download promotional edits, remixes, and DJ-friendly versions (intro, clean, dirty, extended) of tracks. RPOOL.ID adds BPM and Camelot key metadata to every track so you can mix harmonically without extra prep.
Yes — every active membership plan includes unlimited track downloads, including the exclusive remixer pool. Fair-use per-track repeat limits apply only to stop abuse.
Yes. Guests get free 30-second previews on every public track page — starting from the drop, not the intro. Members get unlimited previews right inside the library, so you hear the part that matters before spending a download.
Tracks are delivered as high-quality MP3 (320kbps where the source allows), tagged with the RPOOL.ID name, ready for Serato, Rekordbox, Traktor, or any DJ software.
Create a free account, pick a plan on the membership page, and your library unlocks immediately after payment. New members currently get 50% off their first plan.
