Add Star ratings when importing from iTunes/Music

Hi All,

I previously submitted this feature request to keep star ratings in sync between iTunes/Music and Djay.

However, I’ve now discovered a separate limitation: star ratings are not imported at all when tracks are dragged and dropped from iTunes/Music into Djay on iMac. Since drag-and-drop is the only method available for importing tracks in Djay for macOS, this functionality is completely missing.

– Please see video. –

Here’s what I’ve observed:

  • When tracks are imported into Djay using drag-and-drop from iTunes/Music, their star ratings are not carried over.
  • Even after refreshing the library or restarting Djay, the ratings remain absent.

This lack of functionality creates challenges in managing my library. As someone who relies on star ratings for organizing and planning DJ sets, it’s frustrating that this essential metadata isn’t included during the import process.

I’d greatly appreciate it if the development team could add this capability to ensure star ratings are imported correctly into Djay. Combined with my earlier suggestion to sync ratings dynamically, this would create a comprehensive solution for managing track ratings seamlessly.

If you also rely on star ratings and want to reflect the star rating in Djay just as you have it in iTunes, please click the Vote button in the upper left corner to support this request.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter!

Hey @DJ_Big_Blender, thanks for the detailed suggestion and video. This is very helpful. I will pass this onto the dev team and link it to your other suggestion. Thanks!
