Importing tracks loses the first part of the filename

Bump - anyone know if this is by design and can be changed...?

Well this forum seems to be a total waste of time eh?

:)

Anyone...? No...?

I do not use MIK so I cannot test this but what happens if you drag that same track into iTunes or another audio program? It "may" be that MIK is not writing the tag properly so RB is not picking it up

MIK is probably working fine. If you select the option for MIK to put BPM-KEY-Filename this is exactly what it will do, put it in the filename. Rekordbox generally shows Artist/Title/Genre etc etc by default, not the full file path.

Thanks BriChi and N1ck76 for the replies. Yes MIK is working properly and I want the BPM-KEY- in the filename. The problem is that I also want it to appear like that in Rekordbox, but RB removes the BPM-KEY-  from the trackname (not the filename) and when it exports to the USB stick it seems to use trackname (not filename). Can this be changed? It's nothing to do with the Tags - they are all fine.

Track name ('title' in rb?) and file name are 2 completely different things. Mik writes to the file name, not the track name - so it's not that rb is deleting it, it isn't wrote to the track name in the 1st place - if I've understood your issue correctly

Yes that's correct. But RB uses the filename to create the "title" yet ignores the BPM and KEY at the front... if it is by design I am stuck with it, but just wondering if there is any workaround. I thought about running them through MIK twice and writing BPM-KEY-BPM-KEY-trackname so RB would have BPM and Key in the title...?

It doesn't. 'Title' is a completely different field on the mp3 tag. Which mik doesn't write to

You can select the filename as a field on the cdj 2000 anyway - so that should be you sorted?
