Tag Editor: Edit File Info

The dit File Info option in the popup menu opens the Tag editor for the selected title. The title, artist, album, track number, year, genre, key and comment can be edited. Pressing Update saves the data in the music file and refreshes the list content to reflect the changes. You cannot edit a track that's already loaded into a deck or it's being prelistening.

Please keep in mind that you can not edit tags on other audio files like WAV, AU, AIFF or WMA. The changes you will make to such files will reflect only in DJ Mixer Professional' database.

Physical Delete:

If you no longer need a music file it can be physically deleted from the hard drive using the Physical Delete option from the popup menu. This option, beside the file path and title sorting, is very helpful when deleting duplicate music files from the computer. A warning message box is displayed asking for permission to permanently delete the selected file from the hard drive.

Remove all Dead:

Removes from the list all songs that are no longer at the defined location on the hard drive. This may happen when moving, renaming or deleting files or directories. The cleaning is necessary because the lists do not automatically update the information according to the files on the hard drive. An automatic update would be a long and unnecessary operation, producing sound drops and even system dropouts on some systems.

Analyze:

The Analyze function is very important – it scans a track and looks for the song's rhythm and general volume. From this data the FutureDecks calculates the BPM of the song and also the gain that needs to applied so that all files will sound equally loud. It also detects some other parameters like the song duration. It's not necessary to analyze your songs before loading them in a deck. If you load in a deck a file that was not analyzed before, DJ Mixer Professional automatically does this for you. You don't have to re-analyze it afterwards.

You can also analyze all the songs in a list by selecting the Analyze All function. Please note that this will take a little or very long time depending on how many songs are in the list and how fast your computer is. Also, if some tracks in the list were already analyzed, they are skipped to speed up the process.

Search :

Press Space bar to enter Search mode. Type the searched text. The list automatically filters the songs and retains only the one that match with the selection. Press Esc or the button next to the input field to exit the search mode. The search function searches for a match only in the current selected list.
