Serato scheint wohl eine Funktion zu planen, die es ermöglicht seine Playlists/History anderen Usern im Forum oder auf anderen Webseiten zugänglich zu machen (anscheinend durch das (optionale) automatische Versenden der Listen an den Serato Server).
Finde ich eine interessante Funktion. Wie seht Ihr das?

Is Serato making a system to allow you to optionally send selected Sessions from your History to their website?
Yes we are. We were hoping to announce this with Scratch Live 2.0 (not long now!) but here is some early information for you.
Playlists will be a feature of our websites (ie ScratchLive.net, Serato.com, and Whitelabel.net) that allows you to store, edit and promote what you have played (ie your History). The History feature of Scratch Live and ITCH will allow you to select any number of History Sessions, and optionally “Export to Serato Playlists”, which sends information from those History Sessions from your Serato DJ software, to the Playlists feature.
Note that this is an entirely
opt-in and in every other way
optional feature.
Why is Serato making this?
The new Playlists feature in Scratch Live and ITCH will allow:
1. DJs to share their playlists easily (and live from a gig if they want)
2. Serato to create Serato DJ Charts
3. Serato to share play stats of Whitelabel.net tracks back to the Record Labels using Whitelabel.net
more on each of these situations follows...
1. What does "Sharing Playlists" mean?
Many DJs promote themselves by posting playlists of gigs or radio shows that they've performed. We've made a system to easily export your playlists to the internet.
Who will be able to view my Playlists?
There will be a Privacy Setting for each Playlist with the default being Private. You can choose to make some public to help promote yourself as a DJ. If you choose to make a Playlist public, then it will be available to everyone on the internet. If you leave a Playlist as Private then it will only be visible to you and Serato.
Does this mean all of my History will be sent to Playlists on the Serato Websites?
No, absolutely not! It's entirely up to you what you choose to share. You can choose what history sessions (ie gigs or radio shows) that you wish to export to Playlists. You can choose to submit some of your Playlists, all of your Playlists, or none at all. It's entirely up to you what information you share.
What Information is sent from your Serato DJ software to Playlists?
Right now I'm finalizing our Playlists Privacy Policy which will cover this (and everything else you need to know) in detail. But in short, we will send some basic computer info (eg Mac or PC), info about each session (eg did you use Scratch Live or ITCH, the time you started playing), and for each track in the session we send copies of certain ID3 tags as they are stored in the History: artist, track, album, etc, but
please note that we do not send ID3 tags that are irrelevant to Serato such as Comments or Grouping, or the track Location (ie where the track lives on your computer hard drive).
2. What are the Serato DJ Charts?
The Serato DJ Charts are music charts compiled by Serato using Play Information from DJs who optionally wish to contribute their Playlists to the charts. It will be the most accurate representation of what DJs are playing around the world. There will be an option at the top of your Playlists page to “Contribute my plays to the Serato DJ Charts”. If you elect to contribute your Playlists to the Serato Charts, your information is submitted anonymously, but we will be looking at your location if we decide to make territory based charts (eg Serato US DJ Charts).
The Serato DJ Charts will be published on
www.serato.com.
2. What will Serato be sharing with the Record Labels using Whitelabel.net?
At the top of your Playlists page will be an option to “Let Record Labels follow my Whitelabel Plays”. Selecting this option sends information from songs you have downloaded on Whitelabel to the Record Labels associated with those releases.
One of the reasons Serato started Whitelabel.net was to revive the tradition of DJs breaking records. Sharing these plays allows Record Labels to gauge how popular their tracks are with DJs. This is the most telling form of feedback - if DJs aren’t playing the tune, chances are it’s not a hit.
Please note that the only information we share we Record Labels will be from the plays of Whitelabel tracks. We already report previews and downloads, so reporting plays of a track is a logical progression. Tracks from Whitelabel are completely free and legal to download and play in the club, on the radio, etc (wherever you like, as long as all the required performance fees are paid by the club / radio / etc). As for all of your other tunes that will be listed on your Playlists, we are not sharing this with any Record Label or agency that has been suggested in this thread (although they may be able to see a particular gig of yours if you have made that Playlist Public).
Can any other third parties (such as the RIAA/Govt Authorities) Access Playlists Information?
Serato takes your privacy very seriously and we'll do our very best to keep any information you provide us private. However, just like everyone else who holds private data, we unfortunately cannot guarantee that we can hold it back from law enforcement agents if the authorities demand that we hand it over.
So just to be absolutely crystal clear here, the entire Playlists feature is completely optional. The only people we will share data with are the Record Labels that provide you with free legal music via Whitelabel.net, and even then they will only receive data about you if choose a preference allowing them to do so AND they will only see data about the music that they've given you in the first place.
Any questions? As always, we want your feedback.
We will post up a full Playlists Privacy Policy before we release Scratch Live 2.0.
