MusicIt’s a given fact that I’m not the only one who dislikes the Beatport-Homepage because it is 100% Flash.
I was really happy about the introduction of  Beatport’ mobile-Homepage in March.Although it lacks some features from its big brother it contains everything needed for the common use (Search, Top 100, DJ Charts).

Unfortunately it has a big disadvantage compared to the normal homepage. To prelisten a song a new page is loaded or you have to download the preview mp3.

I wrote a little Greasemonkey-script which shows a MP3-Player below each song on the mobile page. Therefore you can prelisten the songs directly. It looks like that: (not pretty, but form follows function)

If you have some ideas to further improve the beatport-page let me know through the comments!

Compability

Firefox 2.0+
Google Chrome 4.0+

Usage

The Greasemonkey-Script can both be used with Mozilla-based Browsers (Firefox etc.) and Google Chrome (from version 4.0 up). You have to activate Chrome’s Greasemonkey-support through a command-line parameter. You can find instructions here.

I also packed the script into a Firefox-extension. That makes installing the Greasemonkey-extension unnecessary.
