Hello everyone, coming from Serato platform since “06” I find Engine a little difficult. But with something new there’s always uneasyness and different.
I have some questions that might be easy fixes or added on later. I love the Prime 4 but how do you add the year and date added to the screen? I have an extensive collection of music and to help find newer music, I always used date added or year. So is there a way to add these? Definitely never used key or album art.
On the Prime 4 Crate Display, press “Artist” … there you can choose how Prime sort your tracks.
You can sort by Title, BPM, Artist (which is the default), Key, Rating, Length, Year, Date Added, Genre or Comment.
Use a mp3tagger program like mp3tag or similary.
When you have a tag which is: “date created” you could copy this tag also to the comment tag.
And then you can sort it in EP or EOS like that. Hope that help also … you can add as many tag to the comment as you want. I have also inserted the energy of the track in the comment. “E1-E9” or the record label … or type of music like “lounge” “highenergy” “slow” …
Think about some very good tags and do your system like you want.
Maybe some time we also get something like smart-playlists, where you could use this tags to automatically sort your tracks to playlists.
