Implement a comment section

Yes definitely, all of the information is displayed (mac version actually loaded my meta data from Serato), so this is a workaround (but I constantly edit these, so very painful to have both softwares open).

I want to switch back to DJAY for other reasons as well, but simply cannot for this —can’t add genres, energy ratings, comments etc. within the app…so frustrating…

Absolutely agree. Browser in djay Pro need major upgrade. It’s windows-crowded beast from past century :slight_smile:
Inline editing of tags is the must for next version.

This is how I done things in Serato for the last decade and I kind of need it to fully make the switch to Djay - which i’m super excited to do!

It should be quite simple. Just needs a column that reads the comments section on ID3! That way people can use their own tagging method.

Please implement this Algoriddim!!!

Would be great to have this incredibly helpful ‘quality of life’ feature

This is the one thing holding me back from leaving RekordBox behind, which I really want to, because DJay is so much more modern, smooth, and reliable.

In RB I use tags to quickly recognize the right track from a big collection. But it can be as simple as just a short comment field to put in one or two characterizing words (‘dreamy strobo’).

(In addition, a star rating would be great as I use this for energy levels — I don’t prepare sets track by track but go by the flow of the crowd).

Much like assigning a color, I’d love it if comments work for tracks from all sources including Beatport streaming.

Just dropping in another vote for this. Considering switching to Recordbox or similar (agh I don’t want to go back to a laptop) just for better library management features. Honestly, the stems stuff is useless in comparison to this basic feature. Star ratings / colors / comments - would make this app 10x more useful for me. WTF? It already has a track database, can’t be that hard to add a few columns.

I’ve been sticking my head in the sand about Rekordbox, mainly because I’m not a fan of AlphaTheta, even more troubling with their acquisition of Serato.

But I will say this, I was impressed to learn that Rekordbox does sync across IOS and MacOS (via Dropbox). https://rekordbox.com/en/2020/04/cloud-library-sync-tutorial-video/ as well as all the advanced management and tagging features.

Just be prepared to pay through the nose for the privilege

Yep this is a real shame. I’ve had to switch back to Rekordbox and a laptop for now :slightly_frowning_face:
Really all I need is star ratings in the browser and the ability to edit them, it’s not rocket science.

@jomtones After 2months using the Pro version I must agree sadly: all these blabla around Neural Mix is worthless, if I can’t set it up for professional use. The library management sucks. How many times did I loose my cue points, my information. I really don’t want to test if I am saving on a USB stick going to Club and no Cue points are there because they are stored on my Mac :sweat_smile:

I am researching since 2 months and far less information out there.

Just to keep this going. Please enable the comments in iOS please :slight_smile:

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.

I only use ios for listening to my music and not to dj. I throw of the automix with matchning songs to discover new music. That said, having the ability to manage the ID3 tags, specifically comments, ratings, and genre while I’m adding the music to my playlists will help me manage my library on the go without being in front of my laptop. This should be available for local files and streaming services like Apple Music and Beatport.

I too would love to see a comment field on IOS. I am mixing my own productions and this would allow me to put some notes about each song in the app rather than writing the details down elsewhere. Gratitude for the app and for receiving input :slight_smile:

Comments and energy level assignment for iOS next please algoriddim.
The app is amazing to use not just for playing around but for using professionally.
The fact that these are unavailable just seems odd when everything else is this good.

I fully agree. Tags and the ability to add comments / notes would be a game changer (on local songs as well as streaming). I currently use djay Pro on Windows.
I use the software to record mixes and when I’m doing an hour long set, it would be great to have notes on each song regarding cue points, transitions, FX, key, etc.
Thanks for taking our recommendations into consideration.
