if as a DJ, you are not makin' improvement and being creative with what's given to you then you are right, you "play them in the clubs"; Though, DJs with skills and talent with new ideas in mind, always add their touch to tracks while the record is still being promoted. Certain songs may don't have intro or the intro is annoying or whatever that's not seating right in the ear of the DJ, with so many editing software and hardware out there, it's a tough task to tell a DJ that he should not "edit". No, the R.I.A.A won't send a squad to arrest you because you edited a track for your set.
There's a reason for the acapellas and instrumentals; also the existence of Remix services like Select and Ultimix have a purpose.
The labels doesn't really care what you do in your personal set with the songs, as long as you don't copy or trade and as long as you don't sell them.
It's a definite positive to have the automatic builds, tags and BPMs done; however, I also think it's a negative that the tracks from Whitelabel plays at low quality outside of Serato. That means, I still have to download or buy the same tracks from other sources. If my Serato crash or simply refuse to perform right (locking/freezing,ettc..) or I'm playing in a place where for whatever reason I can't have my Serato set-up, I only have the option to play with CD's or switch to an alternate program (ex. Cue) for the night...so I'll be out of luck with all tracks from Whitelabel on my hard drive.
