Thank you so much for this update!! :) Finally I can see all my artwork in RB from my aiff files.

But I have one question: After re import my aiffs (I moved them from my iTunes libary and in to my "RB media folder", so I from now can skip the Bridge function)

 Why does the new tag show VBR in the bitrate column, when it showed 1411kbps when I used the Bridge function before?

Kinda odd on my end... right after installing I had the "uninstall rekordbox 1.5.1" selected, and the "start rekordbox 1.5.2" selected. Clicked "Okay" and started opening, but didn't show any of my information after about 3-5 seconds, then instantly crashed. lol

Error displayed, and I clicked "Reopen". Then it loaded fine. I'm not exactly sure why it crashed, but probably just something with the load up.

The only thing I seem to have a problem with... is a lot of my Cover Art has disappeared and been moved around. lol
I now have Dash Berlin on a couple Arty tracks, Armin on a D-Mad track, Stoneface & Terminal on an Arty and a Juventa track... yeah it's all over the place. This might have something to do with my Dropbox though. So I will investigate a bit and report back. I'll probably end up starting from scratch again.

Update: I'm not sure what caused the artwork change, but I just selected everything in RB (/Command + A), right clicked and selected "Reload Tag". Now they are under the proper tracks, but there might be a couple still missing the cover art all together.

ugh. i hate itunes.  I will never forgive that program for what it just did to me.

Put in all my aiff files into iTunes that were downloaded from beatport and erased the ones on my desktop.  put them into rekordbox from iTunes and every single one had the "label" removed from the tags.  

anyway, i had a couple downloaded aiff files from today on my desktop that i put directly into rekordbox and they show up as VBR in the Bitrate field. However the ones through iTunes show 1411 kbps.

refresh tags worked out that "label" issue.  guess i blamed iTunes too early.

i still cant see artwork for my aiff files?

This was not explicitly answered in TouchDown's question:  Can we now skip the iTunes Bridge step when importing tracks into Rekordbox?  I hope so, that would eliminate at least 5min from my workflow, as well as having yet another separate iTunes library to manage.

Yes you can skip the bridge function:) All the tags and the arwork is working except -1411 kbps- is shown as -VBR- in the bitrate column when using aiff, as mentioned in my comment above. Not a very big problem, just a little strange.

reloading tags worked thanks!!

Found a few bugs - RB1.5.2

Rekordbox is crashing when a short track WITHOUT A GRID (is to short so RB won't try to find any bpm for it) is loaded into the player and clicking on one of the arrows beneath the waveform (the arrows that lets u move the grid).

Nobody needs to click on those arrows when that sort of tracks are loaded, but i just wanted to let u know .

OS - vista ultimate

The other problem/problems are bigger and more complicated to explain it/them. I need to send an audio file and the steps needed for replicating it.

@ Gavin

Can i have an email address?

It wont happen on any file. It is a track with a few loops at different bpm on it, sort of tracks the hip hop djs gather a few different loops on them. When changing the tempo (the grid) of a portion of that track , the program will act strange in that spot, when clicking on "4 beat loop" it will create a 3 beat loop . The cdj2000 will do the same if the 4 beat loop/ loop cutter is pressed in that spot of the track.

Hello

I have that problem that my rekordbox crash every time i try to delete or import songs, and when i scroll down i lagg some times, i waited for this update because i have lion on my 6 month ole mac book pro. have any of u seen that before ?

@Christoffer Edwards > Yes, I have the same problem, it does not scroll smooth.  this was also a recent thing for myself as it used to work perfectly.  i thought it might because I've reached a limit, in terms of files, allowing it to be smooth.  (1500ish)

It happens on my iMac and my macbook, both running Lion.

same here, I just started noticing that more and more and I have 22,000 files so you having 1500 should be fine. When I first open RB it seems smooth but if I go to another app and come back to RB, it lags a lot

i only have 2800 songs, can't import more it keep crashing every time i try  :S

Good job Pioneer! Can't believe I'm still using 1.3, as I'm afraid to be the guinea pig for the new versions, which after months of waiting turn out to be more buggy. Is there anyone that is not experiencing issues with 1.5.2?

i'm not :)  but that does not mean it is perfect, i have some issues with RB but nothing thats a show stopper

to be fair, this was happening to me before the update. 

really, this has happened ever since i first tried to Bridge with iTunes.  

Before, when i had my tracks on my desktop and didn't use iTunes at all, it was as smooth as butter.

I'm not using itunes and never would, so maybe I should give this a try. Anyone have issues unrelated to itunes?

If you are using Windows, be careful.  This 1.5.2 update is buggy.  Just do a search on this forum and you'll see people complaining (including myself).  You will be better off with 1.5.1.

If you are using Mac O/S you might be lucky.  I really believe that this update was targetted to this audience.

At long last... my aiffs tag by them selves, and artwork too!  I had to reload the tag individually though, otherwise it seems my comments would be lost forever.

Win 7, working just fine for me after a couple hours of use.

Individually because I was copying my comments, reloading the tag, then pasting the comments back in.  Thankfully most of my music was in mp3.

how do i reload tags for all my songs? or do i have to reload them one by one?

@aaron > Press "Command + A" to select all, then right click on a track and select "Reload Tag". If you have a large collection, it may take a while and could become unresponsive as it updated everything.

Mine still crashes the whole time

@Guilherme > Are you sure it isn't a corrupt file or database?

so besides aiff files or reloading tags, is the program stable? all i need is for it to not crash. has anyone tested it over ProDJ Link using a router? i'm on osx btw.

i havnt found any problems with prolink and crashing. however mine didnt crash before with previous versions. i know its pretty obvious but are you turning wi-fi off when using rekordbox?

WOW nice!! Rekordbox is faster now!

If I selected my full collection ( 1300 files) at one , then right clicked .... It would take a min or 2 before the "Right mouse click menu " would pop up! and rekordbox would become unresponsive at the time!

I mostly select my full collection at once if I want to reload the tags, or when I want to export it to a new usb.

Now it happens instantly!  Verry nice !!

thanks pioneer , keep up the good work :)

This Update works well for me , but still cant reload tags of all my tracks at once ( More then 4000 Tracl)  , i can only reload 500 after 500 tracks , by my tests this is the max of tracks that RekordBox can reload in one process

Library of 3000 .aif tracks, reloaded tags on the whole dang lib the evening of the upgrade, thought the sw hung, but could see the hard drive light flickering and the cpu fan was cranking, so I assumed it was doing its thing, went to bed and let it work.  By morning all tags and artwork were loaded!

Thankz for a solid and long awaited update.

Have tested it on Gig, and no hiccups there. :-)

Gear in use was my complete pioneer 2K system, with 2 laptops connected to mixer.
Have also tested it with my 900 mixer as well, using a switch and 2k players.

Update, removal of old version - no issues
Regarding rekordbox crashing during analyzing. It still have bad days and god days.
At least it do now crash every time.

So now you guys have one happier Dj Keniicii at Jessheim - Norway

Thanks!.

what would be great if you have the option to stop loading a track onto a playing deck! i do this frequently in error.

@travellingpom: this feature has been available since day one. On your players, just switch on the eject lock.

actually within Rekordbox software or the cdj players?

I thought it was clear when I wrote "on your players"

would i have asked otherwise? :)

i believe the disk lock feature is only avaliable on the cdj 2000> i have the cdj 900 so would be nice for the software to stop accidential loading on a deck thats playing a track

Still crashing for me mac 10.7 lion.  

Ah, RB 1.5.2... Not very happy at the moment. The issue?

All analyzed tracks on my system (MP3, 320 Kbps, checked with MP3Val) are displayed in Rekordbox with waveform. When I check the ones I transferred after the update a lot of them are missing the waveform on my USB drive, and I can't see them on my CDJ-2000's. When I attach the USB drive back to my PC (Win7 Ultimate 64 bit) the files appair to be damaged, and my system tells me to do a checkdisk. No errors are found... I will remove the files from my USB that went on it after the update and look if the problem persists.

Okay, more info: problem isn't solved! Problem seems to be connected with a new playlist a made after the update of RB to 1.5.2. Some files in that playlist do not show waveform, even if they were analyzed before the update.

@Pulse > Okay, I will do that, thanks!

Hey all Im having crash issues with RB 1.5.2 as well. Went all good for a few days then it just started crashing within 10 to 20 seconds after loading up, I like the software its made things a lot easier and coke sponsored my new  900s but I just wish they had hot cues lol my laptop is loaded with RB that came with the 900s and seems pretty stable but the update had good speed on my desktop. Is there any pages you can list me to listing known issues with RB and different OS or processors?

Thanx and keep up the great work

Best wishes from NZ 

Yup I read the forum about glitches and stuff lol

hey you can delete these posts I found the help forums lol thanx

Just discovered that letter case affects sorting in a strange way, giving priority to uppercase, not the alphabet. I found it when I tried to sort by "comments":

How it should sort:

a

A

b

B

c

C

How it sorts:

A

B

C

a

b

c

Happens in "comments" field, not sure about other fields as I have not checked.

It crashes more often than 1.5.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion + latest Updates) without reason. Suddenly by doing nothing it crashes. Also it has a problem to add only 1 song to my USB device.

On Windows 7 everything's just working fine. But Mac is my primary device, so please developers work on an update!

thanks!

BTW: Y U NO have an official facbook account? :D
