Nah, most likely not for non-owned music. Might be yes for owned music.
Seriously? Hereās an a arrogant answer for your arrogant answer, and donāt pretend that reply didnāt come from a place of arrogance:
Have you ever heard of some music management conceptsā¦ idk maybe like usable playcount? tags? colors? track linking? auto grouping by year and month added? These have nothing to do with performance, why are you so against ānewā features?
Or are you even aware that maybe, just maybe there some djās out there who play multiple types of events often and need to have various genres of music organised and keep their sets fresh?
Itās something iāve been dreaming for over 10 years now. If you are a private events dj, a comercial rezident dj and an underground dj on almost all possible different genres (each with warm-up, main and after). Having everything in one collection is a nightmare. You get lost in a lot of playlists, searching tracks brings remixes that are irrelevant. Also the ratings and energy donāt make sense anymore. I might have a deep tech track that works as a warm-up for club, but that same track is a banger in a late underground set. So having multiple libraries would offer the possibility to mark tracks differently for each situation.
I still donāt get sorry, you can have sub playlist inside master playlists, different storage media for different events etc, it just seems like more complication having multiple collections.
Honestly, Iām starting to think modern āDJingā is more focussed on spending hours in a piece of desktop software moving files around and tinkering around with preferences rather than mixing music.
Does the DJ world need to get back to basics and move away from this obsession itās got with libraries, waveforms, cue points, marking everything out on a track, organising, re-organising, re-re-organising.
Nobodies ever actually talking about taking 2 pieces of music and mixing them together anymore.

This means I canāt use stars for energy levels. a tech-house song might be a low energy compared to the bass-house I play in the club. If I play at a drum & bass night and I start with liquid and end up with neuro, liquid tracks will be a 2-3 stars compared to 4-5 stars for neuro. BUT if I play a 2 hour set of liquid, I need to mark the high energy liquid stuff as 5 stars. Now add to all of this dubstep (with itās various flavors), jersey club, baile funk, latino, pop, trap, old school hip-hop, garage, speed-house, psy trance, reggae, dancehall, funk, ghetto-funk, minimal techno, breakbeat, latin house, dance, tech-house (all the house and disco and flavors), underground techno, commercial techno, and so on, and you can see where some might need more tools to keep everything under control.
We the āmodern djāsā are the F1 drivers of mixing. Some of us like to mix on the edge of risking having people clear the dancefloor just because we played a risky track 8 bars longer than is should have been. We donāt play it safe because safe is boring. DJing is more science than art, and science evolves. Donāt get me wrong, I enjoy playing a good outdoor laidback set in which I mix intro to outro, socialize, relax, but thatās like driving on a sunday.
How did i know you would also massively over use genre descriptions too, 55 different ways to describe techno, then imply that im the boring one 
Also describing yourself as āan F1 driver of mixingāā¦. Nah mate, thatās Louie Vega, youāre a Skoda VXR

Yes of course Iāve heard of all those things - but I wouldnāt say the library software was unusable without them. Why for instance would you need playcount in library software? Surely the playing is done on the hardware.
FYI the software already has tags. Colours, track linking, grouping? Iāve been DJing for decades without any of that. Itās all fluff.
If this stuff has nothing to do with performance, why do you need it? IMO being a DJ is all about performance.
At no point did I say Iām against new features. Some of us here have been waiting literally years for features that were requested (or even promised by Denon DJ).
Yes, Iām one of them and have been for over 40 years. Long before digital DJ software, star ratings, playcount, colours, tags, track linking, auto grouping etc. etc.

Imagine thinking youāre talking to people who donāt know what
DJing with multiple genres are 
, or ātaking risksā
Thatās before even delving into my A-Z of albums and compilations, starting at 4hero (I donāt expect anyone under 30 to even know who they are) and ending with Whitney Houston. Traversing acid jazz, UK garage, hip hop, DnB, west coast rock, blues, hardcore and many other different types of music.

For analytics. To see which songs I tend to play the most, which I tend to play the least, Maybe I want to have a playlist with songs with 0 plays and every 3 tracks Iāll play something from there just to risk it. Maybe I want to make a collection of my top 100 played tracks and delete them from my collection. Maybe I want to give them to a beginner dj as a head start. Maybe the reason I donāt play some of the songs is because I canāt marked them with colors and I scroll pass them.
If we live in a world where features exist to make our jobs easier, why wouldāt we want them. You make it sound like other companies implemented some feature which people donāt use, but yet there are feature requests over feature requests. And I learned being patient waiting for Denon to release new features. It doesnāt bother me at this point.
What bothers me is that you and @STU-C have been called out a lot of times on this forum for your exact behaviour of putting your foot in passionate peopleās mouth in a very arrogant manner.
You always say things like āThatās not essentialā āNobody needs thatā āThese modern djās and their absurd wants and needsā Instead of ignoring a comment or just say something like āI wouldāt use it but it sounds like a cool ideea, Iām sure some would like this featureā. Have some positivity and support for others.

I made an opinion about the culture of DJing shifting towards focusing on preparation in software rather than actually mixing music, this isnāt fiction itās true, you only have to browse around various forums and social media channels to know itās true.
Literally nobody back in the day got home from work or a party etc and thought āI know what Iām going to do, Iāll sit and type out cue markers, line up beat grids, put colours on my music, rate their energyā or whateverā¦. They said āget the decks on and mix some tracksā
And letās be honest here, you just made a not so sly, snarky dig at my style of DJing above (thatās actually quite narrow minded and not really knowing what I can or canāt mix), implying itās basic and boring, whilst not actually posting any mixes of your own for scrutiny. At the same time as bigging yourself up as some kind of pinnacle of dj expertise (the F1 comment), so Iām not sure youāre in pole position (pun intended) to be pulling anyone up on positivity and behaviour.

Well thereās the difference I guess. I donāt need to see a playcount to know whether Iāve been playing a song a lot. Iād just know from hearing it so much. 
Donāt mistake me for a dinosaur though. Although I still have thousands of vinyl singles and albums for the trusty Technics, and a large CD collection, Iām still well aware of the latest tech and making use of it.
If I say itās not essential thatās because it isnāt. Iām just being honest. When it comes down to the nitty gritty, the essential things for a DJ are the music and something to play it on.
The older guys here speak from experience gathered over many decades. Learn to accept the teachings of the elders. 
Have you? or have you not been called out a lot by others on this forum?
Iām wondering if this will be the basis fr a new sc6000+ with the drm chip included and some other new features.

The news is great, of course, but one person wrote on YouTube that with the advent of Apple Music, Beatport was removed, is this true or a hoax?
Any chance weāll see Apple Music supported on the Sc6000
For the record, Iād love a play count, but on the device more than the desktop app.

Pretty much zero Iād guess given it lacks the DRM chip that the plus models have

At this point Denon need to make an announcement where they are going with standalone units. A SC6000+, a completely new flagship unit or nothing at all.
This is actually coming for all softwares so nothing to be braging about and sounding like its exclusive for engine
