Grouping function

This has been a long-time "want" of mine, and I'm sure a lot of other users can relate.

Scenario: say I have a bunch of deep tech-house tracks that I want easy access to. Unfortunately, each track is located in a centralized library which, as of right now, I'm not able to organize by specific aspects of each track. So far, the only method of grouping together certain tracks has been to manually create a sub-folder in my library, drag each track into the sub-folder, then relocate each track within Traktor, and when all's said and done, drag said folder into the F# menu bar (i.e. F4, F10, etc.) underneath decks A & B. Quite annoying, quite time-consuming, and it would be a decently easy fix from what I believe.

Here's what I'd suggest:

-Create an 'Add to Group' option on the pulldown menu when you right-click a track.

-Clicking this new function then brings up the option of either adding the track to an existing group, or creating a new group (which would then open a menu box where you would title the group). This function should also work when multiple tracks are selected, so batch Grouping would be available.

-In the F# bar (again, F3, F8 etc.), just as you can currently do by dragging and dropping a file folder to each F key, you have the possibility of making each F key linked to a particular group. I also believe a sub-menu of all Groups under the Track Collection menu would be relevant here.

In the end, I think you would have a lot more access to tracks and a better option for sorting out music by whatever aspect the user chooses, be it key, genre, BPM, release date, etc.

Just a thought. Anyone that agrees, please chime in-I'm sure there's loads of people that would love to see something like this integrated into Traktor.

 

*bump* in case people missed it. This is a worthy cause, lads!

The music management in TSP is horrendous

Perhaps I'm missing something here. How are groups different from play lists?
