One question regarding file paths- is the version of any given song that is copied by itunes the only version you keep? (Backup excepted?) I don't know why, but I find myself somewhat mistrustful of itunes, and irritated by their file naming system. Great stuff, Ean and team. Keep it all coming.

In the previous versions, they used to have the option to update the playlist from iTunes and that worked really well. wonder when that will come back, if it will ever.

Even just the list would be a handy referrence. At the moment, I set all the genre info for my DJ collection in Traktor, in a custom format. I label each track individually for the qualities it has. One track could have elements of several genres. The tag could read "80s - indie - electro - hip hop - old school" or "house - electro - rock" or some variation of that. Then when I'm searching for my next track I can not only use BPM and key but also a more subtle set of genre categories. This particularly useful for mixing tracks across genres that share traits. I developed this system from the realization that the best tracks often exhibit traits of genres outside the one they were created under. My style benefits from knowing not only what a track genre is supposed to be but also what genres it actually "sounds" like. Ean, any chance you’d share your GENRE categories?
