Along_the_Wire …how do you mean re-order, you mean drag them into a different sequence, or have them go 99-1 rather than 1-99?

If it’s the latter, like Dutchy says you click the hashtag symbol at the top of the playlist and it should reverse the order.

As long as you are filtering via the number (ie. hashtag selected), you should be able to drag tracks into any order you like, but if you have a different filter criteria selected (BPM, Comments etc.), it won’t let you drag/reorder.

None of this necessarily reflects what you see on the CDJ/controller though, it’ll depend what search filter you have selected on there.

    Unbroken1 I click the hashtag symbol and it orders them, or reverses them, but I can’t drag tracks up and down to re-order whilst hashtag is selected

    You can only re-order a playlist when you have the column sorting set to the column called “#”
    was the reply

    I’ve worked it out - you have to click on the track with the mouse pointer in the hashtag column and it then drags.

    Cheers fellas.

    Old-Dutch I get that, Dutch! You can’t select the hashtag column and then click on the title of the track and drag it, you have to drag it from the number in the hashtag column.

      Good on you for sticking to the remedial brief Grant.

      Don’t want owt fancy in ’ere

      Not sure you need to do it by dragging on the actual track number in Serato - sorry mate no idea how Recordbox works

      Not quite mixing but I want to change the file metadata (specifically Genre) on my music so that it matches my folders.

      Then, when I import into Rekordbox the Genres will match what I have them filed as.

      Will help me organise and create playlists

      Anyone know anything I can use to do this without editing each file individually on a Mac?

        Mad_Cyril I always changed the metadata in iTunes as it was the easiest way for me to do it. Prob no help to you here, C.

          Thanks LT

          Spent too long unpicking ITunes to start using again. Should probably have said in post!

          Found a good piece of sw called Meta. Licensed @ £20 and can facilitate my abstract OCD!!!

            Anyone here use Mixed in Key SW with their standard DJ SW?

            Seems a bit like overkill to use both Rekordbox & Mixed in Key, given RB has it’s own key ID system.

            Having said that, I’m keen on anything that can make my mixes less unpleasant, would be interested to hear any experiences of using both (or with Traktor etc…) and whether there’s any advantage?

            Nice one.

              I use it. Massive hassle but it’s very useful. Sometimes it can get it really wrong tho, so I’d only recommend using it for djing once you’ve hit a dead end when hunting for a tune for a mixtape.

              Cheers Zack. Interesting you say it’s a massive hassle, that’s something that isn’t mentioned in their promo material 😆

                Rekordbox is solid in my view, but the odd mistake is easily recognisable

                  Mad_Cyril It may be simplified by record box and tractor, but thats just a guess. I use ableton to dj, and there is no seamlessness between that and mixed in key. I color code all of my tunes to match the Camelot Wheel, which makes it easier, once I’ve gone through the initial process of loading, reviewing, and editing all of the tunes in Live.

                    zackster all of that is exactly what sucked all the fun out of dj’ing for me. made it a job instead of just playing records that sound good together.

                      Makes sense.

                      Looking something to help me learn.

                      Not something that turns me into a data input clerk
