Edit track metadata - iOS, Windows

Hi there, i just got an ipad to dj with a more portable setting, i chose djay pro because we can have smart playlists and paid for the year.

Sorry, did you say it’s possible now to edit track metadata within DJPro on Mac? If so, how? If not, is there a way to match the track’s cue points back to the file after changing the name in iTunes?

Hi @DJ_BW, welcome to the Community!

1. Yes you can edit metadata within djay on macOS. Navigate to the djay Settings>Advanced>Trackpad & Mouse then enable Double-click song in library to edit metadata.
   
   
2. Alternatively, you can right-click on a metadata field like “Artist” and select “Edit Artist” in the pop-up menu.
   
   
3. Please note that metadata editing is only supported in the My Collection source and the My Files source. If your songs are in the Local Music source, simply drag and drop them into My Collection.
