Sort song by BPM then Comment

Holdsy10 12:40 PM - 4 April, 2012
Alright, so whenever I sort songs by BPM, it automatically puts the song in BPM via artist. I want to change this to BPM via comment, as every comment for my songs is the Key for the song, it would make it so much easier to transition songs if I could get it to sort songs by BPM then Comment. Is there anyway to do this? Thanks :)

I would luv that feature also "if i sort by BPM then I would luv it to sort 2nd by "KEY" or Album.
Being able to select ur 2nd "SORTING"
DJdaveZ 1:40 PM - 4 April, 2012
yes!!!! that'd be great
Holdsy10 1:36 AM - 5 April, 2012
I know! It would be an awesome feature! I don't think it is possible though :(
dj lashes 4:19 AM - 6 April, 2012
if the smart crate had an IF option then your wish would come true
BadBoyChubs 10:08 AM - 6 April, 2012
I think I have a new mission!

Cant let this thread die! I want to be able to choose wat to sort by after my BPM.

I tried removin the artist name & album and time, leavin only song, bpm & key and it still dont work.
Holdsy10 3:18 AM - 8 April, 2012
I tried that as well BadBoyChubs! I thought it would work! And yes hopefully if it gets enough attention they might include it in Itch 2.3! :)

I really hope Serato incorporate this into their program! It would be such a simple fix, and it would be such an effective one was well! Please Serato! Make it so we can Sort out songs in order other than artists! :D
Holdsy10 8:40 AM - 10 April, 2012
Although, if you had the time and patience, in my instance, I could make a crate for each Key of the songs, and put every song with that key into the Crate. Sure it might take an extra few seconds, and not be as convenient, but until Serato put this in the new program (Hopefully) I could just do it by using crates I suppose.
dj lashes 6:57 AM - 11 April, 2012
all serato need to do is make the smart crate smart right now its more like stupid crate.

This is how I've done it. But a secondary sort feature would be helpful.

Agreed, there are so many crates now that I've sorted them into keys. A secondary sort feature and crate sub-folders would be amazing right now haha.

Yes itis on the ideas list for scratchlive 3.0 But doesn't mean it will happen. And of corse we have no idea when ssl version 3 will be released. But it has been hinted ssl version 3 will have an advanced library.

well i want it in ITCH tooo,I aint wannt wait til SSL has then they take 1yr to add it to Itch,
BadBoyChubs 10:48 AM - 19 April, 2012
3.0 is a long way away, I wand it in Itch 2.3 or SSL 2.5 updates!
LJ_WOOLSEY 11:43 AM - 19 April, 2012
You might want it as i have for the last 4years lol but looks like the library advances is a big job a hole rewrite so it is being hinted that it will be something for ssl 3.0 but like i said only hints. Serato never have and never will say what they are guna do and when.
Icy_FiestA 10:15 PM - 20 April, 2012

I have another feature suggestion with sorting and editing the library.

Before I bought my Twitch and downloaded Itch 2.2 I already imported all my tracks to my laptop pre organised into sorted in genre / sub genre etc. I also scanned them using mixed in key (MIK) and had MIK rewrite the track names using the ID3 tags.

So basically I have already created 'crates' before using serato itch.

Mixed in Key has added the key and bpm to the name of the song in some cases and when I have dragged say my Deep Breaks folder into the library and analysed the folder i notice that each track is assigned a number in the '#' column.

Can I suggest that this column becomes editable like the song name window please?

Such a small thing as I can then order my Deep Breaks and other pre made crates in order of key from 1A through to 12B simply by editing the '#' column.

Anyone think that scanning and renaming in MIK before analysing tracks using Itch 2.2 was a mistake?

Many Thanks

Ive said it time and time again "that is where serato runs 2nd best in the (small things that count)"
a9ent0ran9e 1:31 PM - 24 May, 2012
Hey peoples

since posting the above i have pretty much spent everyday setting hot cues and beat grids and really getting my head into serato itch.

you can just order the tracks in your crate by dragging them so there is an easy work around to this little issue I raised.

i have noticed since tho that some of the files that had been renamed by MIK dont show up in the serato library (ie song title, artist etc) - just the key and bpm in the song title window

this has only happened a couple of times but i'm wondering if any of you have noticed this?
