Search for Streaming Service Song inside collection

I have a really big and great local music library that lives on my external USB stick. I’ve imported it all into DJayPro.

I’m also using Apple Music to easily add new songs and playlists. It would be nice if DJayPro could help me find the track in my local files that I’ve already added, so I don’t have to stream the file if I’ve already downloaded it.

Hi @mariusLAN, can you please confirm if you are trying to search for your local music within:

  1. My Collection

  2. Or My Files

Collection.

The “My Files” is not working for my workflow

Hi @mariusLAN, thanks for confirming that this is within the My Collection source. Can you please confirm exactly how you are importing your local music into My Collection?

I’m drag and dropping the music into djaypro from the finder. I can’t use Apple Music because of the lack of FLAC support.

Thanks @mariusLAN. So you’re dragging from Finder into a playlist in My Collection? Do you have a master playlist in My Collection that you use for all music or do you create a new playlist in My Collection for each import/drag-and-drop? Perhaps you could share some screenshots or a short video?

Will create a screencast :grinning:

I’ve created a screencast and uploaded it to youtube → https://youtu.be/KuI7ao2IOsI

@Slak_Jaw is this helping to understand my problem?

Hi @mariusLAN, thanks for the video, this is very helpful. So, if I understand you correctly, you want the ability to find the local version of a song in My Collection that matches the Apple Music Streaming version of the same song? Please confirm. Thanks!
