Color coding is not a filter or sort option on Djay for iOS.
I prefer to DJ straight from my music in iTunes, since my smart playlists are all there. This is what I do with Traktor.
Of course, I have to first add all the tracks from iTunes/Music to my Collection/Library.
The benefit of DJing from Djay (iOS) Collection seems to be more library columns and sorting optionsā¦ though notably, neither rating OR color are available on iOS.
Just one point of clarification about this request:
Iām not asking to alter or edit the star ratings on Djay for iOSā¦ just view and sort by star ratings.
I get itā¦ implementing editing of star ratings is not possible.
Yes, I understood that, but thanks for clarifying @skymakai

What am I being pushy about? I donāt need an answer that this is being looked atā¦ I have already gotten a reply from Slak Jaw and understand there wonāt be any answer.
Thatās great that you checked it out and a couple years later it had improved to meet your needs. AND, weāre on a 4 year old thread right now, about something as straightforward as showing and sorting by BPM or Key.
So, Iām here to say, āhey, why is this still a topic to talk about?.. can we get this added already?ā
donāt think Iām being pushy towards Slak Jaw or Algoriddim. Iām arguing that this is an important feature, to yours and otherās arguments that itās not and to just find a workaround.
I could just say, āplease and thank youā and go away to later come back in a year or two to see if itās been added. I certainly would have if others hadnāt argued that my request was āa minor inconvenienceā.
@daniel_curley You do make a good point thoughā¦ while in the Collection (not iTunes library view) you can filter by rating. Thank you!
Same and I understand. I used to work for Apple. So, I understand that thereās a pipeline from user feedback to engineers.
One thing I learned about that pipeline is that if thereās an issue and it doesnāt get repeated user feedback, it gets ignored. But also, if only one user is reporting an issue, itās most likely a user problem.
I know itās not the latter, which is why itās frustrating to have others argue that this is a āminor inconvenienceā and not as important (or easily implemented) as showing BPM or Key.
At the end of the day, thatās their opinion. And scrolling through the āsuggestionsā thread Iām seeing lots of other suggestions that have a lot more votes than this thread. Not saying your request or workflow is insignificant, but just from a pragmatic perspective, it looks like others may not see this as big of an issue therefore itās not getting votes/attention compared to other suggestions that affect a larger percentage of the user base.
Either way homie, it looks like you found a solution. Hopefully it works for you in the meantime.
