Full-blown match feature (like Related Tracks in Rekordbox)

great idea, all my 80’s throwbacks like cutting crew and wham get suggested in the middle of tech house sets :face_with_raised_eyebrow !! match tracks could be called DJ Fail Suggestions atm !

SAME! A simple tickbox for matching within the current playlist would solve this.

  • Device model (PC - AMD Ryzen 2700X, 32 RAM, M2 SSD):
  • Version of operating system (Windows 10. 22H2):
  • Version of djay (5.2.3):
  • Hardware/controllers used (Hercules Inpulse 500):

Your question:

Why don’t I see tracks in Right panel - Match tracks option?

I’ve tried both local folders on my computer and added tracks to My Collection (Playlists), but it didn’t make a difference.

I use another DJ program, DJUCED, which has the same option to select suitable tracks. Everything works fine in it. The tracks are shown.

I think it’s safe to say that djay pro 5.2 doesn’t create its own database for selecting tracks, and instead relies on the iTunes database.
It would be pretty unusual to have to install iTunes just to access tracks on Windows.

What are your thoughts on this? I’d love to hear your take on it.

P.S. I really like the program! I just have a couple of questions about how it works with metadata (meta tag) and a large local music library. I’d love to be able to make the program see all the metadata written in the file and write new metadata (meta tag) for the program to see them. That way, I can analyze tracks based on them!

Hi @Zirrex, I’ve merged your topic with this existing one. Please note that Match is currently only supported with Streaming services not local music stored on device. You can vote at the top left of this page to show your interest in supporting this suggestion though. Thanks!

Adding match for local files can’t be that hard surely, the Traktor DJ app had it from its beginning in 2013. Just based on key and bpm is better than nothing.

Match is suggesting BPM way out of genre and tempo. ITs really useless atm…Rekordbox really implemented this feature well. (the only thing they did well) i should be able to specify songs within this genre and playlist for example.
