Would you pay double for faster core feature development & improved stability?

That’s a dark road to go ……. “I ll pay you more to hurry up and fix things “. Not me!! I am paying for what the product is currently doing. Can’t sell me no pipe dreams😂

Also, competition isn’t standing still, and I’d prefer to work with a company that leads the game rather than follows it.

Algoriddim has always lead the game - Spotify, Neural Mix, Fluid Beatgrids, Apple Music as well as the quest stuff. Problem now is that they are required to release updates on all platforms together - iOS, Android, Mac, PC. That’s a lot. Then they have the Apple vision and quest updates to do. They have spread themselves too thin. My 2 cents.

I don’t know why you need all your files organised in such a way outside of djay.

Basically, it’s a good idea to do this independently of a single application and also outside of it, so that you can also use it with another product if necessary. If you have built up and structured your music collection over years, it can be an incredible amount of effort to change everything just to be able to continue using it as usual just because you are using different software. Unfortunately, there is no common standard that really works everywhere.

And also because, organizing files in folders is a natural thing to do.

Sorting into folders is only natural because we’ve all been used to it for a long time, many of us for decades. Ultimately, however, this is also just a habit. And in earlier years, of course, it made sense and was practical. In the meantime, however, the use of tags is basically the better and more universal way, just as it is with photos. Of course, this only works if the software can process it accordingly. This hasn’t been a problem with photos for many years, nor with the management of music libraries, but unfortunately it’s still not standard within DJ software itself.

Probably a good idea to have a singular folder and an organised folder to be prepared for all circumstances then?

It also depends on how you operate.
I like to curate for gigs and more advice I have been advised is to take twice as much music as you will need so I will create playlists accordingly.
I don’t need to take 30 days worth of music to play a 3 hour set.
some people do oviously because they operate in a different way

Thanks for the continued feedback on this topic everyone! There’s some great input in here for sure.

HI
SlackJaw.

Forgive my late response to your question.

Also forgive my bad English.

You can download the Rekordbox software for free from the site and try it if you are not familiar with it, but I assume you are.

Creating a playlist and transferring it to a USB stick with all the cue points, beat grids, hot cues and more is unparalleled.

I don’t have to take my MacBook with me to party at night with the risk of damaging it.

I also installed Rekorbox on my iPhone. I work on songs on the MacBook or vice versa and everything is in sync.
I have also happened to have impromptu evenings with CDJs only with the iPhone connected without problems.

I’ve been paying for Djay for years, hoping for a radical change in the management of my music library not linked to iTunes.

What do you propose to me after years?

VisionPro? But really not.

However, I really appreciate Algoriddim’s innovation in proposing new things even before others.

If you intend to enter the world of professional DJs I advise you to concentrate on managing the music library and transferring it to a USB stick which can then be used on CDJs or other.
