Feature Requests for dance DJing use
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2015 7:42 pm
I have MM on Windows on a large computer and Android on a tablet. The tablet is easier to transport so I am hoping to use that for my dance classes since I travel to the site with a speaker, computer, and other necessities.
1) In MMW, I have set the start time for some songs to cut out long intros (I was very happy when I found this feature). However, MMA does no include this feature. It would be quite useful.
2) The data displayed per song is
Image (very unimportant to me--and almost useless in small format)
Title
Artist
Time (also unimportant to me)
I need:
Genre (I use it for dance: Cha-Cha, Rumba, etc.); I am trying to find images to use to indicate dance to get around this limitation.
Title
Artist (I have actually re-purposed for tempo)
Album (also re-purposed for decade/artist)
While I can, and have, re-purpose some fields, I cannot change the track time manually so am stuck with an unusable field.
I believe these fields are present in the properties but I cannot select to display them in a playlist or now playing screen.
3) I have not tested this thoroughly, but the volume leveling is also important so I don't have to constantly adjust the volume as songs are playing.
I also encountered a bug on a Beta version:
- Syncing Windows-->Android, tracks were updated, new playlist was added, but modified auto-playlists were not updated.
I got around it by deleting the auto-playlist from andriod and re-syncing.
Note that I had not changed the properties of the auto-playlist, but due to changes to songs in the library, songs were added to it.
As I manage the library, I count on the auto-playlist to be updated so all the right songs appear in the playlist on andriod.
