YOUR QUESTION:

  1. I work with the date, look at the date here in OneLibrary, which is inside my pendrive.

    Now when I save to my collection, Djay changes the date to the current date, which it shouldn’t since it’s just a mirror of the USB drive or external hard drive. However, if we look at the year, it doesn’t change. So I believe it shouldn’t change the date, since it’s just a mirror.

Mac os M1 Arm Tahoe 26 - Djay 5.6.3

Hi @MarcosAraujo, in djay, the “Date Added” is the date when you add the songs to My Collection. So, what you are observing is expected behaviour.

So, there could be an option to display the first time it was played, because that way we could keep the date that was allocated and the date it was played for the first time without losing the information. This option would be very useful. I believe our Djay engineers could easily implement this. Those color boxes would also be amazing if they were included, because they don’t appear in OneLibrary.
