Issue with sorting through big folder by BPM

2024 HP laptop
Windows 11 home
Djay pro AI (whatever the latest for windows is)
Djm s9 w phase DJ

Hey y’all! So i wanted to see if the algoriddim team or anyone else could help me out with this situation. I have been trying djay pro on windows, and coming from virtual dj/serato: i love it, but there’s an issue with the library that’s kind of annoying lol. So i tend to sort by BPM, and currently i browse through tracks using explorer/browser (ie. Downloads > bpm supreme > etc.). When i go into a folder, its not automatically sorted by BPM (like it takes a little bit before everything gets sorted correctly). Is there a workaround for this?

I should probably mention that the folder that im trying to find stuff from has 6k tracks if that helps.

Hi @Beepboop00, thanks for the details about your setup and the issue.

  1. Can you please share your exact djay version number found at the bottom of the djay Settings window?
  2. Please provide more details about your 2024 HP laptop as well.
  3. Can you also capture a short video of the issue, upload it to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the video here? Thanks!

Djay pro version 5.2.11228.0

13th gen intel i5 with 8 GB of ram

@Slak_Jaw sorry i forgot to mention you!

Hi @Beepboop00, thanks for the video and additional details about your hardware and djay version. This is very helpful. Are the songs in this folder stored on your laptop internal drive or on an external drive? Thanks!

So this is on the internal drive (no external drive connected!) :slight_smile:

Edit: @Slak_Jaw so its sort of fixed if i use the djay collection, but the search takes ages to look through (if im searching the whole collection).

Okay, thanks for the additional info @Beepboop00. I have passed this onto the engineering team to see if this helps them replicate what you’re experiencing.

So i should probably give more info! I have tried it in both file explorer and the djay collection. In the djay collection, once it sorts for the first time, all is well! But now im running into another problem: when i go to search for a song in my collection (similar to how one would search in serato/vdj/rb), it hangs BADLY (like im talking 30+ minutes to give me results). I do have 68k songs in the collection however

Okay thanks. I have passed this on as well.
