viviif this tagging software throws me one more error i am going to become racist against djs holy fuck
why is this the only music tagging software out there aimed at djs why is DJ software so shit for tagging music do you guys not care do you like to waste your time on organizing music and then even more time searching for it during your gig are you all just fucmking stupid or what
palmtop tiger@vivi what differentiates dj tagging software from normal tagging software?
@mia from what i've seen, most tagging software is mainly about rewriting file names or filling out all the fields of the track info
while djs will make use of these fields, a lot of them, me included, will want to give our music extra information that is tailored to their liking and there typically is no field for in the file's metadata. stuff like the time of the day to play it (warmup, prime time, afterhours,...), the setting (terrace, main floor, bar,...), the components you want to yoink from it when you loop it (vocals, bass, hihats,....), etc. every dj has their own needs and their own system for this
some will use playlists to categorize music like this, but some will want to write this sort of information into the comment field each file has, so you can search for it or have your dj software create smart playlists based on it.
i need some kind of software where i can go through a folder of music and listen to each track for a few seconds and then quickly select custom tags that apply to it and will be written into the file's comment field (e.g. #warmup #terrace #hihats).
ig this isnt dj specific because looking at the big dj software around non of these knuckledraggers care abt it, but if possible i also want the software to be responsive and have decent keyboard controls because that shit is infinitely faster than mouse stuff

this is the only thing ive found so far that does this, but its throwing me an error when i try to open the folder with my dj music collection, for some reason other folders work fine

@vivi are you using windows or macOS? i think by default windows protects certain directories (like the music directory) so programs you’ve downloaded from the internet won’t be able to access them
@mia i use macOS idk what is wrong with it 
i have this 50 gb, completely unsorted folder with all my tracks for all my dj aliases on my external harddrive. whenever i try to open it with onetagger, the software brings me "ERROR: WebSocket closed!" and then "ERROR: [object Event]" and then is stuck loading the contents of the folder into infinity. supposedly onetagger written in Rust, Vue.js and Quasar, someone who knows any of these please tell me what that means

this is… incredibly cursed
this is… incredibly cursed
@mia i dont know what that means but i am disappointed 
i saw rust and ik that everyone on here likes rust so i thought it would get props for that but now im hearing electron and electron seems to suck ass so

this is an unrelated issue and whether it works on any given macOS install seems to be hit or miss: https://github.com/Marekkon5/onetagger/issues/79
maybe try this suggestion: https://github.com/Marekkon5/onetagger/issues/79#issuecomment-1022092176
