Not sure if anyone at Algoriddim is aware of this, but Djay Pro doesn’t accurately search/identify any songs in my database by their filename. It’s programmed to search/identify songs by the title assigned (i.e., as located in the properties of any given song/file).
Example: I recently updated a typo I discovered in the filename of a song in my database. Although I easily corrected the filename via Windows Explorer (to avoid not finding it via Djay Pro’s search feature due to the original misspelling), I noticed Djay Pro only locates it if I search via the misspelled “title” of the song (again, as found in the properties of the file) and not by the filename I corrected. I’m sure I have software somewhere that would allow me to change the title of any given file - but Windows won’t allow me to do so when examining at its properties.
This may seem like a minor issue to some - but when you have multiple versions of any song (think remixes) I typically revise filenames to easily find any version(s) I may want to play. I’ve always been able to rename & find songs easily easily via Serato because it pulls results based on filenames, not titles…
In short, and if at all possible, I know I’d appreciate it if your dev team could figure out a way to change search parameters to help us more readily find songs/files by their filename as opposed to the title.
