Display Duration Between Cue Points in Playlist View

I’ve searched the forums but couldn’t find a feature request matching this idea. Currently, the playlist view displays the total duration of each track. However, for performance preparation, it would be incredibly helpful to see the duration between specific cue points—particularly between Cue Point 1 and Cue Point 2—directly within the playlist.

This feature would allow DJs to better anticipate transitions and manage energy levels during a set. For instance, if Cue Point 1 marks the intro and Cue Point 2 marks the drop, knowing the exact time between them would aid in planning seamless transitions.

And showing time remaining to Que point 2 when playing.

Like to hear other thoughts on this one.

I guess it depends on the style of play you use. For me it does not sound useful enough. Timings are intuitive for me. There are tons of higher priority things I would love to see. Just a thought.

I totally agree with your point about play style — and I understand that many DJs prefer to freestyle their sets. That said, I’d like to share a few reasons why I think this feature (must say i hade to figure out saving Queue with play order) would still be very useful:

  • At many. events, I use pre-defined playlists. Having a saved play order with timing info allows me to see exactly when the next track will start, which is helpful for transitions and set pacing.
  • It helps me calculate whether my current selection of tracks will be enough for the full duration of a party
  • There are also reaquest lists where I,. cueing them.

I’m not primarily a freestyle DJ. I approach sets with structure and preparation — which I also consider a form of mastery in its own right. I am not in that league.

Example of why I mean.

Ive added the suggestion of beat/bar countdown til next cue point. Like rekordbox and Traktor have. Wich is great for phrasing. But it’s being ignored. Shame such a great feature is left undone. :frowning:
