I don't even use the browser in VDJ anymore. I always have iTunes open and drag my song straight from iTunes. But full integration of the iTunes library would make VDJ excellent.
We should have an option for a BPM tap button, right now there assignable shortcut for that, it would be much easier if I could for instance assign my spacebar to "BPM Tap" and as soon as I start tapping I am adjusting the BPM entry of the song.

Hey Sky, wouldn't I tunes make more money if they allowed softwares to use their file format?? I too would probably use them more if they did.

they officaly do it so you cannot steal songs from there store
but the truth of the matter is that they want you to use their player and see the adverts on their pages

been there, asked for that
a BPM tap with 'lock on' would eb amazing for this program. essentialy this program is prety much just a basic CD player without an accurate BPM and lets face it, its not allways perfect at getting it by itself. the bpm tap feature as is (although its hidden away in a menu somewhere) a good stop gap to get some things to work but if the approx tapping of 8 or 16 beats awas used to lock onto the actual BPM then that would be amazing.
this is how i see it working..............if the BPM isnt accurate for the song you ahve loaded. you hold down the space bar to activate 'BPM lock-on' mode and tap to the beat (maybe starting on a down beat to let VDJ understand that too) you tap for 4 beats or 8 beats or something (or maybe until a somes on saying 'BPM locked-on' etc).
this wold make things so much better than having to go into the little BPM menu and mess with anchors and all this other hassle, a BPM tap is going to be able to tell VDJ the beat grid of a song to within a couple of BPM. if VDJ could work this in that would be out of this world in terms of new ground

I don't need the iTunes interface in VirtualDj, just use of the same dB and playlist's . Serato Scratch already does this without issue, so it is not "forbid" by Apple. It's just a different XML file than we are using now, it just needs to be parsed differently inorder for it to work.

Its only imported on the first install I want to be able to manage the files in iTunes exactly how Serato does it. iTunes is perfect for managing files. Download Serato and iTunes and see what I am talking about, the file management in Virtual Dj is crappy if not subopar, having this change would push it over the top. As ONE of the key thing about any good DJ is only as good as him/her finding his songs at the right time.
I think Serato's integration couldn't be better........works perfectly and very fast.....

Better browser features are a must. Need to be able to search and sort on Name, Artist, Album, BPM, Genre. Also need to be able to import iTunes playlists at any time (non-protected files), not just on fresh install.

Virutal DJ DOES recognize and play m4p format (itunes purchased files), but it doesn't read the XML file to parse out the file names, or categorize them, etc.
I don't think anyone here, including myself is asking for the itunes store to be intergrated - just for Virutal DJ to be able to read and categorize purchased songs accordingly. It's really just a matter of parsing out the local XML file.
SO - if that could be done, I think you would make MANY of us very happy!
