Playlist Tracks Duplicated With Instant Doubles & Queue Played Logic

Bug Reports

  • Device model: 2021 M1 Mac Pro
  • Version of operating system: MacOS 15.6.1
  • Version of djay: 5.4.2
  • Hardware/controllers used: Laptop & CDJs

Prior to 5.3, a song would not count as played until the fader was up or until the song was played for a decent chunk. Since 5.3 (April 2025), as soon as I press play/cue on a track to see what it sounds like, it then counts as played, so it can be a bit confusing to know what I have played. The queue logic before 5.3 worked so well and I could always use remove from queue but now if I preview the track then it counts as played and removes it so I just have that option turned off.

Also prior to 5.3, when a song was put on the other deck using instant doubles, the playlist would count it as 1 song, now all my playlists have doubles of every song due to instant doubles and this is super frustrating. It was much better pre 5.3 but this has been a consistant issue.

I can provide screenshots of playlists prior to April 8th and post to show how it is duplicating tracks. The queue issue is something that just happens when you play a track.

Anyone else having this issue and remember how it used to be?
Would love a fix/revert for this in a future update!

Thanks,
