hell of crates

Cassio.Hoffmann 2:11 AM - 15 May, 2013
someone explain to me why the hell I can not simply import a folder with subfolders and serato maintain the structure of directories, and what is the advantage of the crates and not just use the structure of directories?
And I think that millions of users are bound to use it without even asking whether this agent liking. Ai have to be running behind running third party programs that do this import.
I'm very disappointed. Someday we will have it resolved?

thank's

The only way to do this automatically without a third party software is by using itunes and simply clicking show itunes library, since Serato has a freaking hard on for Apple for some reason.. and it's a shame, because youo're right when you have a lot of folders and don't want to use itunes you're out of luck. I don't see why so many DJ's prefer itunes for sorting, it's way too confined and I don't see any advantage and personally I'm not a fan of smartcrates.. sure you can quickly consolidate everything into one crate instantly..NOT! we all have dozens of songs that has a default tag as one genre but we believe it to be another.. So let's go and pick out all those tracks and retag them.. I'd rather just drag and drop no thank you

Fala Cassio. Tudo certo?

Cara, tenho um amigo que tem um software que importa toda a estrutura de pastas para o ITCH e cria uma estrutura igual, mas em forma de Crates. É isso que vc precisa?

Eu nunca usei este software, mas uma vez eu criei toda a estrutura de pastas manualmente e percebi que o ITCH ficou muito lento pra abrir as Crates e pra carregar as musicas.... A ideia das Crates é semelhantes às playlists do Traktor e do VDJ: compilar apenas uma seleção que você mais usa de musicas e se precisar "caçar" musicas, simplesmente vai na busca e procura ou deixa a janela BROWSE aberta e vai add as musicas de lá.

A minha estrutura de Crates eu criei assim: 'Anos 90' eu coloco os projetos dance mais conhecidos e que fizeram mais sucessos; 'Anos 80', os mais conhecidos, etc e por aí vai... Se criar muitos Crates o ITCH fica lentão.

Se vc arrastar uma pasta da lista FILES pra coluna da esquerda, onde ficam os Crates, ele cria um Crate com o nome da pasta, mas não cria a Subcrate, caso haja uma subpasta no diretório. É, são alguns dos bugs chatos que o ITCH tem, não só ele, mas como todos os softwares da Serato, já que todos são baseados no mesmo código. Eu acho que os programadores não são DJs e não tem ideias pra tornar as coisas mais práticas! São muito segmentados. Enfim...

Grande abraço!!
