ONE: ID3-tagging
I suggest that you can be able to edit ID3tags right in the crate list, and press another button so that you can save those changes to the ID3 tags to the songs specific crate playlist, and perhaps press another button to write those changes to the master song collection (like in Final Scratch, they have this very helpful function, just not perfected yet, I am looking for more spread-sheet styled editing, such as gouping by ctrl-select columns). I want to be able to look at the messy filenames, and click a bunch of them, and right click "Filename to ID3" function. Why use another software outside of the Serato to do these administrative tasks if it can be done right inside Serato, while you are reviewing your files, trying to come up with your next set.

TWO: ID3 tagging cont.
I find that all these ID3 tagging softwares out there are inadequate, they cannot scan subfolders in the main folder where you direct your downloads to. I use PZ Tag (can scan subfolders), however unfortunately, NONE of them included the ID3 field name LABEL, which is available in Serato & Final Scratch, but how can you utilize the label field if ID3 taggers do not have the field. Well you can do it one by one in Serato, but that is just too stupid, that's why it would be really nice if there was the spread-sheet editing functions I described above.

THREE: Display functions
I would like to be able to close the file-tree column on the left of the screen when I am mixing, because many people have small 15" screens and it is difficult to browse for files. I would like to have the column widths & order preserved each time I open and close Serato. When DJing, I only mix, I don't know how to scratch, and will ever care to use the time-mark function, and the spinning needle thing looks cool, but I don't need it. Please include a funciton to hide those things so I can save my screen space for browsing files.

Thanks, and I am sorry if any of the above have already been mentioned by someone else.

Sounds like valid suggestions, but its rude (lazy!) to suggest things w/o even reading the FAQ suggestion threads, cause you expect others to read your stuff which has allready been said. That sucks.
