I use Serato with Apple Music. Smart playlists and regular playlists are treated separately. This means that no Apple Music tracks appear in my own smart lists.
But when I import my Serato lists to LXC, all Apple Music tracks also appear in my smart lists. I don’t want that, especially since they are then also exported to Rekordbox. Rekordbox also separates regular playlists from Apple Music lists.
How can I prevent my streaming tracks from appearing in the smart lists in LXC?
This is really annoying.
It’s a Serato limitation really, because they don’t allow streaming tracks in crates (assuming smart crates also). It’s a limitation that I expect them to solve at some point so your problem will be in Serato too. So I would recommend a change in smart crate strategy
Thanks for answer.
This is really annoying when you have hundreds of streaming tracks in your smartlists.
I hope there’s a solution for this soon.
I just thought about your answer again.
For example, I created a smart crate called “Year 2024” in Serato. This is automatically filled exclusively with physical tracks from my library—not streaming tracks.
Only after importing it to SSW do I see hundreds of streaming tracks in the same smart list.
That’s strange, isn’t it?
No, it’s like I said, it’s because Serato doesn’t include them in your smart crate because it doesn’t support that yet. I’m sure they will support it because it’s ridiculous that streaming tracks can’t be added to crates. So once they fix that, you will have the same situation in Serato.
Find a workaround: I disable Streaming support in Serato before import to LXC- no more streaming tracks in LXC
