Introducing BeatJam


JamLegend is proud to introduce a new way to play songs on JamLegend- the new BeatJam! Playing is simple, just tap the keys to the beat of the song. Here are some distinguishing features of BeatJam:
  • BeatJam follows the beat, rhythm, and melody of a song. You might find yourself tapping to the drums, then tapping to the vocals, or playing along to an orchestra. Think of yourself as a one-person band, tapping out the beat.
  • BeatJam is automagically created when an artist uploads a song. It's not perfect, some songs turn out better than others but, all in all, it's a pretty fun experience.
  • BeatJam will not replace Guitar (Tap or Strum). A human-tracked Guitar version will still be created, but for users who don't want to wait or don't care as much about playing a specific instrument, BeatJam is playable immediately. Songs that have been tracked for guitar will be made available once they are published by our amazing Tracker Community.
Why did we create BeatJam?
  1. BeatJam makes songs available immediately- Users and artists were unhappy when a song was unavailable for a significant period of time. BeatJam encourages artists to upload more of their music because it will be available immediately on the site.
  2. BeatJam helps trackers choose songs- Our tracker community also wanted a good way to determine what songs they should track.  BeatJam allows JamLegend users to try out a song and gives our Trackers a easy way to see the popular songs to track next. Since it's a time-consuming process, trackers want to release songs that they think will be fun for them and fun for the rest of the community.
  3. BeatJam makes more songs available- We think users would prefer 400 songs in Beatjam and 180 songs in Guitar, rather than just 180 songs in Guitar. Since these songs will be tracked eventually, it gives users new songs without having to wait on a Tracker.
NOTE: If you're looking for the old BeatJam, choose 'Guitar' and then 'Tap Only' if available.

BeatJam shows that there are a LOT of songs waiting to be tracked, so we need trackers to help us track all of these songs! If you want to join our elite tracker community, go here: http://www.jamlegend.com/tracker_info

In the meantime, paraphrasing the late King of Pop Michael Jackson: "Just Beat(Jam) it!"

Hi there,

That's a nice feature but it would be really nice if it was possible to distinguish songs with "BeatJam" only from "human tracked" ones. Until there are human tracked songs i haven't played yet i don't think i'll play this new mode.

Oops. Sorry, found the way =)
RIP jacko
@BurnInHell MJ

If I find you in the street, you'll have your ticket to the "Morgue Express" and a VIP drawer only for you.

is it good
adadadadaaaaadadadadsadasdasd
nice update on the beatjam ang R.I.P MJ....
Hi, will there be new songs like Metallica band and In Flames, and more famous bands please?
it would be really nice!
Why is jam legend not working? If this goes on, people will stop going here so you have to ifx it. I think the beatjam mode has something to do with it
Michael Jackson die in 2009
I filter songs by newest+tracked. If a song is tracked days after his addition, I could miss it. Sorting by tracking date would be great.
seeing that michael jackson was 99% plastic will be melted down into legos so that little kids can play with him instead
la lang

i love michael jackson's beat it!
hey. can you please improve the beat jam. cause the beat jam doesn't get the beat of the songs you want to play on it. guitar is much better than beat jam cause guitar gets the right beat of the song from start to finish.

Micheal is a dead man and im glad that he is cause i HATED him! sad he didnt get a slow and painfull dead!
Good!
hypocrites ffs
BeatJam was pretty crummy on the two songs I uploaded upon creating my account. I'm sticking with songs that have been tracked.
no utilizen la figura de michael jackson para hacer publicidad

sorry but why now the beatjam doesn't apply to all the songs?
Michael Jackson doesn't deserve the title "King Of Pop", I think "God Of Pop" would be more suitable, you gotta' love it how all the haters slag him off just because they hate anyone better than themselves, (which is pretty much everyone really).
