I am preparing my gigs each week with creating playlists.
The issue is that I can only create these lists in iTunes but not in Day Pro.
But in iTunes I do not have information like BPM.
So it is really a mess having to switch to iTunes in order to create a playlist while there not seeing all necessary information.
I would prefer - like in Serato DJ - to have the opportunity of creating playlists in Djay Pro and afterwards maybe export the as iTunes-playlists.
Currently I am really undecided whether to switch to Serato DJ (names for hotcues and saved loops and Crates) while on the otherhand DJay Pro has Spotify integration - by far better than Pulselocker. If Djay Pro would get these missing professional features the decision would be clear.
Ever create a SMART playlist on tunes?
These types of playlist are perfect when adding new songs to your collection and automatically adding to a certain playlists.
(i.e. Smart Playlist named 100 BPM… after analyzing a track on djay, right click on the track and click " show in iTunes and enter the BPM in the “show info” (same window Lukas shows in the reply above).
I know this sounds time consuming, but do this once the rest is automatic.

Hey
After u create ur placelists in itunes , and you open djay pro, select your playlist from itunes iland go to library on djay pro and select analyse library! Unwill have all the info needed
Agree with the Smart playlist thing, I use them a lot. Re BPM, I use MIK to provide this, and key info for the track as well; then I can see the BPM in iTunes & use this to sort in Smart playlists…
its called Mixed in Key, and basically analyses the songs to give you a key, tempo and BPM figure for each song analysed. It is approx 80% accurate, and is a great way of getting this info onto tracks that are missing these tags.
there are other free pieces of software out there that do this, but MIK is still the best currently.
This is not the problem. I want to have the opportunity to create playlists in DJay Pro. Also sub-playlists.
Currently I have to create playlists in itunes in order to have them in Djay Pro available. This is not very efficient to me.
While creating playlists I want to have the opportunity to work in my DJ Software and having access to the data I need: BPM, Key etc.
This is information I cannot see in itunes.
Furthermore I am not able to create sub-playlists. Preparing a DJ set I need several sub-sets (warm-up, maintime, cool-down) this is not possible neither in itunes nor in djay pro.
ah - understood - I know this feature already but use it in a different way.
Nevertheless - creating playlists IN Djay Pro is a MUST Have. It is really boring to switch always to iTunes in order to change something in existing playlists or to create new ones.
