Topic: BPM sorting

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

When BPM sort is set to descending sorted files are displayed at the end of the list below unanalyzed files. Same is about length. Is there way to influence sorting rules?

AFAIK, no.
But that's something for a future release I think.
For me it mades totaly senes, to display all tracks with a value sorted at the top, and non-analysed files at the bottom. Regardless if ascending or descending order.

To me it makes no sense to have unanalysed files in your database! :-)

IMO it should be task #1 to analyse your files when you add them to your collection. Problem solved!

Good point groovin.
But sometimes there is just not enough time to analyze your latest tracks for many reasons.

In general, I agree with you.

A filter folder could be set up:

isscanned=1 should eliminate any unscanned files.

Analyze over 28000 songs is no sense for me :) but sometimes happens that I'm playing something never ever used before. That's why is good to have it for example in search results. In that case also filtering out unanalyzed songs is no sense while this huge database nevertheless have to be sorted and then filtered. I see two minuses it's time consuming and blocks you to find anything from unplayed content.

Seems you are not too familiar with the music in your database which is kinda strange .....

You can also filter by play count.

Well unfortunately that's the way DJ software works. You add songs to the database and the software must analyze them to determine BPM and key.

You would need to do exactly the same with Traktor, Serato software, PCDJ software, One DJ, Flow, MIXXX, FutureDecks DJ Pro, Deckadance - you name it!

I know that DB shrinking to have files only I need is the best option what should I do now or I can stay with VDJ7 where this really difficult to implement sorting method works. But generally are you just trying to tell me (I am software developer) that it is impossible to implement something that was implemented in the past? BTW off topic. sorting speed of big library somehow also is much slower in comparison to VDJ7.

How big is the list ?
I just tried with 4500 files and I get instant sorting. Loading a list is another thing though as some times it can take some time (up to 1-2 secs) if you have coverflow enabled.
