Topic: Tags streamed from beatport have incorrect Key
If you set useKeyFromTag to Yes, and then check any track from beatport, it will be missing not only the Minor suffix, but also any # or b modifier. For instance, any track labeled `Ebm` on beatport's website will show as just `E` in virtualdj. This makes finding tracks with a matching key... very difficult unless they have all already been pre-analyzed and useKeyFromTag is set to No.

You seem to be assuming that Beatport keys are correct. Bad idea.

In my opinion you SHOULD be analysing all files in VDJ and not relying on what a web site claims.

I do use the vdj analyzed key in most cases, however the key provided by beatport is displayed before the track has been analyzed (in the top charts and search), so it would be nice if it at least properly reflected the data that comes from beatport. The fact that the key is just being trimmed rather than totally off means that this is almost certainly a bug.
