I've been using Serato for 3 years now and love it! Still though many times I want to set more than 5 cue points.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to upgrade the max. cue points up to 10 for instance?

This is a good idea, i agree.
But those who have bought Novation Dicers, like my self for example would be stuck with 5 cue points.
Serato would have to re make the dicer midi to *Shift* ORANGE + 1 for example, another cue point would be made but would get rather complicated when trying to find the right cue as technically you can map up to 20 cue points then.

Actually, you will have upto 25 cue points, including the original 5 in red.

I've just asked for the same functionality in a new post.
As I said, I really need more than 5 cues for each track.
I use cues for 2 main reasons:
- visually see how the song is built (for example, instru only parts, intros, outros, acapellas only, chorus, verses...)
- send loops live.
It would be REALLY REALLY REALLY great and would definitely increase the level of my sets.
What about you guys? What is it for?

I personally think 5 is good enough... i think that scratch live the way they have the que points set and keyboard mapping is way better than tracktors which tracktor has 8 que points... and if you want more que points you should just switch to tracktor or just be satisfied with scratch live... i kinda wanna have both but i love my scratch live!!!

+1, somehow more cue points, & dual colour options, ie: colured square rings around colours, & cue point names.

Colured Rings? I meant coloured frames/borders.
Shortcuts Perhaps: Caps Lock & then shift for the; more cue points access.

+ 1 . I DJ with a friend doing live mashups on 4 turntables and could easily use up to 15 cue points on a given track... hope you guys can make this happen! Thx :)

cue points are almost equivalent to warp markers in ableton live. meaning, I should be free to create as many as I like and scroll through pages of cue point banks ad infinitum. Why the hell not?!?! this should be up to the user to determine how much they want to push their hardware (if thats the reason Serato hasn't done this already)... not a software limitation. SERIOUSLY. Help us help you EVOLVE DJING:)
Thanks in advance. CHEERS!!!!

+1. Having 8 cue points on my Twitch is pretty awesome. A second bank of cue points in SSL would be great to have.

+1 yep - I've kind of got around it by having two copies of the same ripped battle break, and setting the cue points on the second one differently...

the pages are cool, but now with cue point text tags, i use some cue points to mark outro's as 4/8/16bar and if its acapella out, i mark that, if its instrumental out or break i mark that so i know to cut, etc...
Would be nice if we could still see the text labels of the next bank of cues, i don't necessarily use these cue points as cues with the keyboard, its more for a visual reason. (aka visual "notes")....

a typical cue text setup for me would be like this for cues 1-5.
1bar
4bar
Move Your Arms - (lyric scratch close to the 8bar intro)
CUT 8bar (break in the middle of the track, also could be used as outro #1 for quick mixing)
out 8/16bar (consider this outro #2 but with lyrics)
I have over 2000 tracks labeled already, talk about ocd but it helps with freestyling and tracks you haven't gotten familiar with :)

This has been one of the most asked feature and we are wondering why there has been no response on this yet?
If you are wondering about user experience, then maybe, add two left (<<) and right (>>) 'parameter' buttons, on top or below the cue sections, to navigate more than 8 cue points.
This parameter navigation could also work with Loops and Flips too!
