Suggestions for better Playlist Management in djay Pro.

INTERFACE:

  1. Playlist Checkboxes - In Spotify, they have a checkbox next to each playlist so we can see which playlists contain the selected track. The checkbox also lets us add/delete a single track from multiple playlists.
  2. Quick Playlist Toolbar - a toolbar that can be customized with playlists to be used during a gig

COMMANDS:

  1. Export regular playlists to Apple Music
  2. Import/Export playlists to .m3u files
  3. Add to Target Playlist - a command we can map to a keystroke and quickly add/delete tracks to a playlist we are working on.

SMART PLAYLIST OPTIONS:

  1. Randomly Ordered Playlist - every time it’s opened the tracks are in a different order

SYSTEM PLAYLISTS (like the built-in ‘Music’ and ‘Recently Added’ playlists)

  1. Trash Playlist - a place to put tracks to be deleted (and actually delete them)
  2. Target Playlist - a playlist to put tracks, preferably with a shortcut command to add/delete the track from the target playlist. Similar to the Prep crate in Serato. Please note, this should be separate from the Queue which can be in use during a performance.

Thanks for the suggestions @Michael_Wisniewski! Great ideas. I have forwarded this to the dev team for consideration.

Absolutely support those suggestions. Browser need major renovation.

I would add option to export playlists in XML format with ALL track data.
It greatly helps to work with library with AI.
Do I correctly remember that djay is Pro AI? :blush:

Now I’m dragging files to Traktor to export library in NML (subset of XML) format

Thanks for the additional feedback @Mikhail_Kapyrin. I’ve shared this with the devs.

Another Command suggestion:

  • Send Loaded Track to playlist - a track loaded onto a Deck can be added to a playlist.

Added to djay Pro 5.2.6 (macOS, Windows)
Drag and drop tracks from decks onto the media library or onto other decks: drag the artwork in the track display (macOS, Windows)

Just scrap it and start again.

Would love to see a View dedicated to building playlists. Something dedicated like the Automix View, but where we can quickly add tracks to playlists (could also be tied to Automix for listening). Would also have a button to quickly add tracks to a working/target playlist.

Ideally this would be a dedicated view on iOS so we can walk/hike/jog while creating playlists.
