What is the feature or ability you would like to have?
Please explain your feature request. Add an image/screenshot if it makes sense to clarify things.
The ability to write from tags to a field. There is already a recipe to write from field to tag. Looking for the ability to do this in reverse.
How will this feature help you and others?
Please explain how this helps you and other users. Keep in mind that feature requests that are too specific may not be added.
Allows a simple way to both tag in Lexicon and write tags to the file easily independent of field mapping during sync.
Is this feature available in an existing product? If so, what product?
Please let us know if this feature already exists in any other software. This is helpful to understand the problem and perhaps come to an even better solution.
Not that I know of.
Does a workaround currently exist?
Please explain how you currently deal with the problem.
Currently, I tag in Lexicon, field map, then sync to serato DJ, then sync the playlist back from Serato with the now written fields, then save fields to the file. Hoping to cut out the middle steps.
I got that part…But I was speaking more of simply copying the tags to a field inside of Lexicon. For example, I know I can type #Clean#HipHop in the comment field, then use a recipe to copy this to the tag. I was just asking for the same thing in reverse to save time inside of Lexicon. If it’s not feasible, no worries.
I think I see what you are getting at…let me try something. My understanding of field mappings was that it only wrote to the specified field when you sync it to your DJ software, but the field was still blank in Lexicon. Didn’t think about the reload tags. Let me see if that does what I’m thinking.
Good sir, that was EXACTLY what I was thinking of. You are a GENIUS!!! I’m still getting the hang of this, but I think Lexicon is where I am managing music moving forward. I’ll start another topic with another question. Thanks for the speedy response.
