Bugs/Problem with Rekordbox 3.0.1 and suggestions for future versions...

Hi,

 

Tech. background:

  • Windows 7 (English)
  • Keyboard layout: Swedish
  • Rekordbox: v3.0.1
  • CDJ-2000 and CDJ-2000 Nexus

 

Bugs, problems or my fault?

=======================

These are things that I have found being a problem when with working with latest RB 3.0.1:

  • The History file is now named:  History "date stamp". Before it was named after the ID on the CDJ-2000. For example if your CDJ-2000 is called “Main Floor” and you import it to RB 2014-08-12 then the history would in earlier version of RB be named to “Main Floor 2014-08-12” now in RB 3.x its “History 2014-08-12”
  • When you try to write the sign ";" or ":" in any tag field, it shows "<" and ">" instead. (Remember that I’m using a Swedish keyboard layout)
  • When you manually add a playlist (to any other position than the last one) to a folder that you have synchronized to the USB Stick, it will change its order of that play list to the last one the next time you synchronize the folder.

 

And these are a few of my suggestions for a new Rekordbox:

================================================

  • I start of by adding my two cents to previous request about a wider or at least lower BPM than today.
  • The ability to manage playlists and preview songs that I have on a USB stick from RB in my mobile.
  • I would like to lock a file for any changes in RB. For example when I have manually adjusted the grid, bpm, added cue points and more, it would to lock it so that I don’t by mistake make any changes in the future to the file.
  • Synchronize profiles. So that I can decide from time to time how and what I would like to synchronize to a specific USB stick.
  • A function like an  ”Analyze from Here”, so that you can decide the first beat to analyze from.
  • When working with intelligent playlists I would like to see…
    ...the ability to search within other playlists.
    …Larger/then and between in text fields, so that for example I can match all artists between A and K.
    …and/or function. For example match All House Music and Tech House or Deep House.
  • I would like the option to have the browser and playlists side by side, as before.
  • A ”copy playlist function”: For example if I have a playlist called ”Top List” and I would like to make changes to that for a new play list with a different name, that would be useful.
  • Make CTRL+F/ALT+F work regardless where you are in the GUI. 

 I understand if my suggestions might not fit all of you, but I add it to see if we can get some momentum going on any of them… ;-)

 

 

Thanks!

Alex

My suggestions ..

 

More columns when displaying ,multiple playlists

 Is it possible to display more info than just the artwork and title ? Artwork looks nice but does it really need to be shown ?

I know you can see the full details of each track in the browser underneath, but it would be nice to be able to see the artist, BPM etc.  Or even display the Summary, like the column when selecting 'Show the entire artwork'.

 

 Summary columns

 Can we have the Summary column without the artwork ?

 

Managing playlists

I still find managing multiple playlists difficult within the RB screen.

Having the option to open a playlist(s) in another window would be nice,. Especially useful if you have more than one monitor.

Ability to move a track from one playlist to another (by holding SHIFT for example) would be nice.

 

Edit while linked

Editing track info when in link mode would be amazing.

 

Delete tracks from USB that are not in playlists

An option to delete tracks from USB that re not in a playlist would be good.

 

Analyze Options

Would be nice to be able to right click on a file and choose the analyze option, rather than having to go into options, analyze track, then back into options to revert.

 

BPM's

Need a wider range !

Having to manually re-enter BPM's for every track over 180 BPM when there is a major update release is being very tiresome

 

Cheers :)

Another thing I've just noticed

I've got my collection sorted by Date Added (most recent at the top). When I drag a track into the collection, it seems to be placed randomly in the collection and not at the top as expected (most recent). This makes it difficult to locate once I've entered all the info and want to find the track to add to a playlist.

This didn't happen in Version 2.

PS - How about a playlist box in the track info window ?
