Tópico: Multi genre search

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

Having read the manual I think it can be done but I don't know how to do it, so can it?

I have a track, say the Four Top's "I can't help myself" with multiple genres of motown, party, disco and the year 1965. Can I put in a search of 1960's and motown and the search will find it?

What I'm looking to achieve is the ability to find all 1960's and motown tracks, or all 1970's and disco tracks or all 2000's and r n b tracks etc.

I just tested it myself.

If you set the Genre of a Song to for Example "Party Disco" it can be found by the following searches.

"Party"
"Disco"
"Party Disco"

The reason Virtual DJ seems to do this is because it looks inside a sentence(set of words) and does not look for a exact match, the same as with a song, if you search "the" it will display all songs with the word "the anywhere inside the song title, even if surrounded by other letters, for example "they" would be found with a search "the".

Hope that explains things and answers your question.

Ashley you seem to be a very bright and helpful person, why not register your copy of VDJ? Cheers mate
 
Thanks, I am quite Computer Literate, and well thats in the works currently, im currently still at college so only have a Part-Time Job, however im saving up to purchase VDJ 5 in the near future, hopefully shouldn't be too long before then.

I hate being a college student, I could have purchased it in one Pay Packet if I hadn't been stuck at college but out working, owell suppose the education well help me some day, however hope to see me as a VDJ member soon. I'm currently running of a 20 day trial on a new laptop I purchased.

Hence the topic about Sound Card's as the built in laptop one isn't amazing, before using VDJ i was using Winamp and other software to do DJ in, decided was best to go the Commercial Route, as Winamp was not the best in the world.
 
An education is important...good luck in school, hope too see you with us soon
 
Just realized Exchange rate it works out at only £115, should see me after May 28th(Pay Day)

Thanks,
Ashley
 
GOOD TO HEAR!!! well done Ashley..
 
Ashley, thanks but no it doesn't answer it. The thing I'm trying to achieve is the ability to find a track with a genre of say disco and a year of 1976. I want to input a search of 1970's and disco and come up with 200 plus tracks that are disco and released in the70's.

I suppose I could always have a 70's genre and a disco genre and the search engine would find it. The trouble with that is I have 6000 tunes to assign genres to! What I wanted to do was assign the genre in Tag and Rename plus put the release year in and BINGO I can find any decade with any genre, happy days! :o)

Yep do it Ashley, you won't regret it.

 
Time to take a small loan from my Dad I think ==

Hopefully see you around soon, with a nice symbol under my name, just need to find him in a good time. This community defiantly has made me want to stay with this product, special now I have quite a expirence and skill using the product also.

bring on 5.1 =]

OP, im just seeing if there is a way of doing what you wanted

Thanks,
Ashley
 
The best answer I could find is Page 22 on the User Guide, creating a Filter Folder, it allows you set filter by more than one item, year genre e.t.c

If you look in the user guide they have a few examples, and its quite easy to create one so wouldn't take that long to setup one if you need certain type of music suddenly.

Good Luck.
