I sometimes play on old 350s and 400s so in order to make my life easier I created intelligent playlists that are pretty much the same as my normal ones but with the intention to sort them by BPM on those cases.
For example:
I have a Deep House playlist that's sorted by date added so my newest tracks are at the bottom. On the newer players I can just go ahead and switch it to BPM in the middle of the gig and it's all good.
But you can't sort on old players...
So my idea was to create an intelligent playlist with all the tracks tagged "Deep House" (the same tracks from that other normal list) but sort out this intelligent playlist by BPM so when I'm playing on older gear and I feel the need to go BPM I can just switch to the intelligent playlist. And if I wanna find "that new track I just got" I know I'll find it at the bottom of the normal list.
And then I realised it I can't sort the intelligent playlists... My life s**ks
Any ideas?
Create your playlist, click the BPM column to sort it, then right-click and select "renumber" then export. Presto, sorted by BPM as the default order without having to sort on the CDJ!

Thanks Pulse,
Yeah I'm trying to do that but on the intelligent list instead. There is no renumber option there.
I wanna keep my original list the way it is (Date added) and create a smart copy of it (using the Deep House tag) sorted by BPM to use on old players. This way I only have to update the original one and the smart copy will sort itself out.
The Intelligent List doesn't support a renumber feature as it's dynamic - you'd need to transfer the content to a standard list and then renumber it.
Yeah that's what I figured, it won't really solve the problem. Tho that sounds like a great feature for a next update, I mean... there must be some sort of order the software is using to create the dynamic list anyways. Otherwise without order it's not a "list", it's more of a "basket" with tracks randomly added.
Thanks for answering me Pulse!
Take care
