I’m using a Prime 4 on Serato. I recently added an SSD to my Prime, and used Engine to convert my library from Serato to Engine. Which all worked fine
Now I’ve added new music to my Serato crates, how do I get them to show up in my Engine library. The only way I can see so far id to delete the crate from Engine, and import the whole Serato crate again.
I’ve just added some new tracks to EP and my Prime 4 for the first time since transferring my whole library when I got the unit.
It’s not fun, but it wasn’t too hard. I knew which folder (on the computer) the new stuff was in, so I browsed to the folder (in EP) and sorted by date, so the new stuff was together at the top.
I then just selected all the tracks and dragged them over to the Collection icon. You could drag to the crates you want the tracks in.
If you know which crates need updating, just drag the files from the location on your computer to the crate(s) on your computer and the crates on the Prime 4.
This seems to be the best way until it is implemented. Let me ask you this. Let’s say in the future if I have the time to delete the crates and reimport Serato’s crates would it create a duplicate of the tracks I dragged from the directory?
Also, in the 1.3.2 Engine Prime release notes it says “Improved the import and update time for Serato, etc…” What do they actually mean by “update” if this feature is not yet available?
Just to reiterate, Once we bring over say Crate A–those songs go into EP collection like how Serato has “All Audio”? In the case of Engine Prime, when we want to update Crate A we delete it and the songs from the original Crate A remain. Once we bring the updated Crate A over to EP it will add the new songs + the original songs, not creating duplicates?
Does this hold true if we change tags in Serato? For example, we correct a typo in the song title and then bring over the updated Crate A?
