I downloaded the new version for macOS.
I installed it. Everything works perfectly! Thank you.
In the transport section of the toolbar there is an autoplay button. If you set this to Autoplay on select you can listen to tracks as you navigate. Arrow down in the song table and the new track will load the new track to the player and be ready for tag editing. The left/right arrow keys allow you to skip thru the track quickly. Spacebar toggles playback. Enter loads the selected song to the player (if not in autoplay on select mode). The selected song or songs are always active for editing tags in the info panel, comments panel tagging and genre panel tagging.
I’ve already figured this out. It’s an interesting solution.
About using the mouse.
When the waveform is displayed, I click on it and immediately hear the track — not from the beginning, but from the exact point I need.
This way, I can click through the tracks I want much faster and select the ones I need.
The current options for loading and scrubbing in the program are also good, but it would still be useful to be able to see the waveform and have a preview function.
As far as the Rating column goes, I haven’t implemented it yet because it’s more complicated than it looks. Unlike BPM or key, a rating isn’t normally stored in the file’s tags. Each DJ app keeps it in its own database (Music.app, Rekordbox, djay and VirtualDJ all do this; Traktor is the only one that optionally writes it to the file too). As I understand it, Lexicon works the same way: it keeps ratings in its own database and exports them to each app when you sync. So a rating you set in Lexicon only shows up in djay after you sync back to djay. Is that your understanding and how you use it?
Rating.
Yes. Officially, the metadata specification doesn’t include a “Rating” concept. However, it can be added manually, and some DJ software will recognize it.
For example – RATING
I already asked this question in this post.
Your program is the first step in selecting, sorting, and managing my music library.
Typically, my library only includes tracks rated 3, 4, or 5 stars. I don’t keep tracks rated 1 or 3 stars—there’s no point in holding on to music you don’t like.
But the 3-, 4-, and 5-star ratings help me quickly see that a 5-star track appealed to me more than a 3-star one.
I sort tracks by rating, and that also helps me put together playlists.
Yes, I don’t always give a rating, but I do about 70% of the time.
When you export from Lexicon DJ to DJ software, the rating carries over. It’s really convenient.
