Edit Track Metadata!

[Michael_Wisniewski]

You cannot edit track / metadata tags in djay Pro; you have to use a separate-external program like:

• Apple Music or iTunes
• MP3Tag (my fav for bulk and specialized edits)
• Serato (my fav for quick edits)
• Traktor Pro

Hi @DJWillby,

This question has already been answered in another thread so I will be merging this one with the one linked below.

Edit Track Metadata!

I am new to DJay and after playing around a bit really shocked. It looks like we are not able to adjust the rating of a song or genre. Come on guys, before starting with AI you should have started implementing basic functionality everyone would expect. I am really near to cancel my one year subscription.

Have a nice day!

Hi Nathaniel,

What other thread was this question answered in? I only see you linking to a comment in this self-same thread, above.

I’m also eager to share another +1 to this feature request (or to know if it has been put on the roadmap).

Kind Regards,

[Sergio1]

I fully agree with you for the implementation of these basic functions for local library management.
I’ve talked about this and other things I’d like them to implement in this link. My thoughts on Djay Pro AI V4

[Juan-Tenorio_Benites]

Any updates on this?

[jan5]

+1! Come on guys, please add metadata editing. Is it even in the development roadmap?

[JulesL]

I’d really love this feature too!

[KidVector]

+1 to this.

As apps mature and look to go toe to toe with other ‘pro’ solutions the devil is in the collection management. Editing metadata being one. Also for example, it’s wild that there isn’t a genre column!

I know it’s not the most exciting stuff to work on, but these fundamentals all add up to either enhance or detract from a users day to day experience of the app. And it you want to muscle in on the current clique of pro options and not just go for hobbyists, this is where it matters.

Thanks, All, for your continued feedback and patience! We are aware of the demand for such functionality in djay, and I’ll continue to push this internally with our Dev Team. Rest assured, I’ll keep you posted here when I have more news!

[KidVector]

Thanks for the update Emily!

Replying to keep this thread alive… after the frustration of not being able to properly refresh/edit metadata or ID3 tag I took some time to mess around with other programs such as Searto & Rekord box. although they were both great for library management… the UI & overall functionality of those programs was not ideal for me. djay pro has my heart but lack of library management ability makes it hard to see as an option for someone who wants to grow into a professional or club environment. or even a hobbyist who wants to build and organize huge libraries. hope we can get a fix for this as it has been requested since squints at text 2013… I’ll try to find a workaround in the meantime… maybe I have to edit all data before importing it into djay but regardless it seems the community would love to see some action on this.

Purlease give us star ratings at least! I use these to tag the ‘energy’ of tracks… going back to Recordbox and a laptop for now

[jomtones]

By the way this request really ought to be combined with

Implement a comment section

I mainly use djay, for mixing, but in order to also be able to sort/ find my files on rekordbox, I use the comment section of tracks for tagging genres energy etc. I would love to be able to view these in djay Pro ipad too, so I can choose my tracks better based on my tags. So far I have the workaround to create smart Playlists in iTunes but that is either a shit ton of Playlist for every possible combination of tags, or I only can filter by one. If I could see the comments of the I’d tags, I q…

As it’s all about metadata…

[jomtones]

This is fine, but then we can’t even see e.g. star ratings in the track browser can we?

[soundshaper]

Is this really still not implemented? Does anyone know of a workaround to be able to quickly rate a track and also sort by genre? It’s kind of frustrating that this is such a basic feature in every other DJ software except this one, which is better in almost every other way.

[Five-0]

This would be great! Also the ability to move playlist around

Hi Emily, any more news on this quality of life feature post v5 launch?

[Michael_Wisniewski]

For reference:

• Metadata editing is available in djay Pro 5.0 for macOS, but not iOS.
• Metadata can be edited in “My Collection” or “My Files”.
• In “Apple Music” you can only edit the: key, track color and rating.

[/quoteFor a long time I have been asking for library management similar to that of Rekordbox which currently has no opponents. The library management even in this new version 5.0 is really clumsy. But I must also admit that this new version has finally brought at least the possibility of modifying the grid if necessary. However they have done an excellent job with this new version.
