Panel 2: File / Search Results
VirtualDJ provides several elements of information about each track. The information is a combination
of VirtualDJ defined data fields and supported file tag data. By default the title of the song and artist are
listed for each file along with columns for beats per minute (BPM) and duration (Length) with additional
columns, explained further in the manual. The width size for each column can be modified individually
and by clicking on a column title the contents are sorted. For example, clicking on the artist column
sorts the browser by artist initially in ascending order. Click again for descending. To set all columns to
the same width you can double-click on any column title.
The tracks title and artist are automatically filled in, if the file is named according to two standard
conventions, i.e. (artist) title.ext OR artist - title.ext OR the ―Tags‖ option is set to ―Enabled‖ in the
―Config‖, ―Browser‖ tab, Infos Gathering section.
When a track is loaded to either deck for the first time, VirtualDJ will analyze and calculate the track for
BPM, Key, Length, Gain and Bitrate. It is recommended that you analyze all tracks in your collection
prior to first use. Analyzing multiple tracks before use is covered later in this guide. All track
information is then stored inside individual drive database files. And all data is stored and saved at time
of discovery or data entry immediately to the database(s).
