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.
