Algoriddim don’t run the streaming providers! Any failures of those services is out of their control.
It’s also out of your control if you rely totally on streaming services to provide music. It’s up to you to ensure you have a collection of your own PURCHASED music stored locally to enable you to complete any bookings you undertake.
Spotify is not an option. They withdrew from DJ streaming in 2020.
Thanks for the info PK,
Up till Spotify was invented I had all my music on a plug in Hard Drive, it was because of the Spotify integration that I stopped collecting my music and relying on streaming, I regret that because I had some music that didn’t end up on Spotify. (I’ve been using DJay since 2014.)
I am perfectly happy that I am the DJ… the brain behind what track is played…
My concern is not with the music… it is when the application crashes mid set… which it has done twice to me over the past 20 years… once is once too often.
@DJ_Big_Blender _ Apparently we are both crazy enough to compile such a list? Are you in? Let me know. I would focus on 10-12 max items (considering few of them could be rejected). I think It’s better to have smaller list with bigger development possibility rather that big list with long waiting time. I would be happy to end up with 5 strong items.
Who else is there? @Slak_Jaw ?
With all due respect, two (!) crashes in 20 years is not really a problem. 
You took the words right out of my mouth. I think all software bar non used regularly over a period of 20 years will have a couple of crash issues. New software releases, new feature sets and bugs etc. djay pro is very stable, has been for me anyway, but there will always be room for improvements.
Ideally, everyone in this thread could propose items for the list, but I think you and DJ Big Blender have been the most active in this discussion. So, I think it would be great if you both took the lead and initiative here. Obviously, I’m available to support in any way I can as well. Plus, I suspect at least one of the items on this list could be from a topic I created before I joined Algoriddim 
That would likely make the buy-in cost prohibitive. I’d prefer to have to pay for an upgrade every 2-3 major releases AND have a bit more of an open scheme for buying a longer-term license, like this DAW’s: REAPER | Purchase
Even if these features were implemented, the workflow of these features is what I’m concerned about. I find a lot of Djays features useful but unintuitive.
Djay has some really useful features (other software don’t have) but I end up not using them bc there’s too much clicking, scrolling, opening menus, ect…or buggy to use them.
There’s a lot of cool features that exist already but need to be more intuitive for live performance.
I completely understand where you’re coming from @Donn —I had this as well in the beginning. Djay has so many features, tabs, and screens that the workflow can feel overwhelming during live performances and you need to have a lot of muscle memory to navigate it smoothly.
You could call that ‘interface anxiety’ or ‘cognitive overload,’ I guess. It’s that stress when features aren’t intuitive or easy to find when you need them. It took me a few months to get used to it.
So true…
I’ve noticed that during gigs, I’m a little bit affraid of doing too much on the laptop.
I rarely change the screens, hide/show different parts of gui, i.e use effects, looping etc.
Also my keyboard shortcuts are dropped to bare minimum, that I won’t try to avoid mistakes while perfoming.
OK. I’ll start working on my list. I prepare 5 most important things. 5 less essential. And 5 suggestions I wish to see. 15 in total. To keep it civilized. Give me a few days.

Thanks for pulling this together just kicking this off to keep the engine running.
Happy new year errbody

About the obvious “difficulty” for djay to offer syncing of the database (cue, playlist, etc…) on different systems:
Could it be cos the database is in SQLite?
Of the use I made of SQLite in programming, it is conceived a bit as a “sandboxed” database. Very light and efficient, but dedicated to 1 app. Thats why it is so much used on iOS apps. And not adapted to be synced to an other database.
What I want to ask is:
Could that early technological choice for the database ( focused on iOS) make the transition to a “shared database” across devices nearly … impossible in the future. Without a complete rewriting of the app.
In this case, all the discussions on syncing will be vain.
Being new to djay, and liking some aspect of it , I m realizing that so many years with users asking for such a basic essential function like syncing/transfert of the hardwork of cueing tracks to another device should have been implemented long ago … if it was possible.
I would not pay extra……………….patience
At the end of the day, it’s not about technical difficulties, it’s about priorities - what they choose to work on and release.
Rekordbox uses SQLite and they’ve had cross-Platform sync since 2021. I’m not switching to Rekordbox, but it is installed on my devices, and the syncing works great, it is lightning fast and very easy to use. There is even the option to sync over the Cloud or locally over WIFI.
Would really love to see WIFI sync on day Pro!
Mobile Library Sync (WIFI)
Syncing between mac and ios is easy, just copy and paste your djay music library into the cloud then copy and replace it on your ios device.
Syncing between mac and windows, why bother? djay performs much better on a mac, if you have both why would you use the windows version?
If you have windows and ios go out and buy a cheap mac for £120. I did and now I can manage and sync my librariy.
If you have a mac and an android device I wouldn’t bother with that.
Using the cloud transfer between my mac and ios I have my collection on my ipad and iphone with rating, colour, grouping, comments and label all at my disposal and my library is perfectly synced, and it takes less than a minute to do.
