Producers often upload beats, stems, and trackouts to BeatStars while preparing for publishing. If a file isn’t moved to Draft or Published status within 30 days, it gets deleted—sometimes without us realizing until it's too late.
I recently lost over 50 beats, including all trackouts and stems, due to this. It was heartbreaking, and I know I’m not the only one who could be affected this way.
I’m suggesting a feature where users could pay a recovery fee to retrieve files even after the 30-day deletion window. Alternatively, a grace period with reminders before permanent deletion would be helpful.
This feature would protect creators from data loss, reduce frustration, and even generate extra revenue for BeatStars. Everyone wins.
Thank you for considering this.
