DJing Serato Scratch Live / itunes / Tagging help.

[lilsensa]

Please.

Here is the problem. I re-tag my mp3's so that they appear "Artist - Title - Year" in itunes. Then I import them to my external, then I import them into Serato using the "import" button on Serato. Then Serato builds the overviews of the mp3's and I'm done.

So I think.

Then when I go to find the tracks in Serato, they have the "Artist" and "Title" in the artist column....I keep having to edit the "Artist" column so that the title of the song does not appear along with the artist name...This is such a pain in the ass, considering I import around 100 tunes every couple of days...

I've noticed that even after I edit the tags in itunes, when I go back and check the tags, the artist name and song title are still in the first field where I deleted them from in the first place.

Anyone that uses Serato know a way around this so that I don't have to edit every tune twice (Once in itunes and once in Serato)??

Thanks!!

P.S. I am not trying to sync my itunes library with Serato.

have you checked to see if there are serato forums on their site? I'm sure there's gotta be a few people on there who know ten times more about that than we will know.

Yeah, checked them...All they talk about is how to sync itunes with Serato. There's gotta be someone out there who is as picky as I am when it comes to how my tunes look in Serato!

Why not? No importing and if you utilize the "Smart Playlists" in iTunes everything is automatically organized however you choose when you tag your tracks.

Just curious. I am of no help on your question though

Because I am super about NOT having itunes playlists and and tunes stored on my computer. Even though it might not take up a lot of space on my Mac, I still hate to have them on there.

But the main issue is the format of "Artist - Song Title - Year".... When ever I edit the tage in Itunes, it still puts BOTH "Artist & Song Title" in the Artsist column in Serato. Then I have to edit the tag in Serato. Is there a way where I won't have to edit tags twice to get them to look how I initially wanted them to look????

Re: Serato Scratch Live / itunes / Tagging help.

have you tried to just not update the tag in itunes and just do it in serato, then drag it into itunes and see what it does?

Hmm. No, I haven't tried that. I guess I have limited my methods because I don't want to screw anything up...Will try that when I get home tonight. Thanks
