here are some things that i would consider "great" library management that have made me either move from traktor to vdj, or use a third party software as supplement, because confusingly, no dj software has *all * of them:
- smart crates that automatically add tracks to themselves based on matching any or all "if" conditions, including the ability to group conditions together
- live updating smart crates that will add tracks to themselves based on conditions linked to the currently playing track, including **but not limited to**, bpm (in a range that *i* can define) and key
- the ability to write information to tracks with keyboard shortcuts
- the ability to write "tags" to tracks and query them while playing
- the ability to add and query custom numerical ratings for user defined traits like "energy" to tracks (to this day, no dj software does this properly out of the box, i need to abuse tagging systems and because of it, can only filter for specific energy levels and not include neighboring ones like i can with bpm and key. i dont understand why, it seems so useful, i certainly would kill for this)
- toggleable filters that filter the current playlist/folder that you are looking at
- a second browser column
- a way to "set aside" songs that you found while searching for the next track and that don't fit rn but you wanna play later on
- a way to "link" to link other tracks to the current one, showing me all of its linked siblings in the browser
- automatically colorhighlighting tracks based on if then conditions
