Yeah right, I am having the same Problem! I can‘t delete a track from my Playlist without deleting it from my USB stick…Both options will remove the song entirely
Just eject the drive so that you have just Engine open. Then delete the track from the folder.
If I understand correctly, the track will be removed but it will remain in the ‘collection’ but unless you have it in another playlist/folder, you will have to use the search to find it because it will be in limbo - as in ‘homeless’.
I changed my work flow after 2.0.
All my crates were the same but obviously classed as playlists since 2.0. For me, my crates were genre based & so nothing really changed there. When I add new tracks, I just drag them into the genre folder/playlist as normal.
I created a new folder (technically, a playlist) on my SD card & named it Playlists. I then dragged (from my drive) all my ‘proper’ playlists from before into that folder which creates sub-folders. These sub-folders are now my proper playlists. All it means is that I have an extra tap to do which is to go into my new Playlist folder & then select the sub folder/playlist I want.
Hope that makes sense.
EDIT:
I think I read (from @mufasa) that you must not have the track highlighted when wanting to remove from playlist. Not sure but either way, you can follow my method which works. Just be aware that if you remove from playlist, the track will not be visible if it isn’t in another playlist. It will be in collection & will need search function to recall it (not ideal because you will not remember these tracks).
You can only remove from playlist in the main collection view, the reason for this is that it will affect all drives that are connected and have that playlist name.
If you packed tracks to your drive, then use ‘remove from drive’ in the drive panel view if you only want to remove the track from that drive, and not other drives.
Hello “Demon” DJs that’s exactly my problem.
Got more playlists. Wanna remove a track from one list but not from the drive.
This is a really massive inconvenience.
Hope this will be fixed with 2.0.2
I have a Prime 4 and the only I can delete from playlist is tapping on
editing/pencil on the Prime 4, swipe left the track I want to remove and I get the option to remove from playlist.
There’s no way for me to remove when using Engine desktop. I get the same options as dazdisco.
I don’t want to remove from collection, I just want to move from a particular playlist
Hello DenonDemons This shows the option on the computer which I was aware… I’m creating playlists on the device itself when on the GO
I would like to remove a track (not delete from storage) when using the controller only.
