Edit track info in Engine DJ.

Twelve, straight in the track list: Title, Artist, Album, Key, Rating, Comment, Track #, Genre, Year, Label, Composer and Mixartist. Click a track once to select it, click the field, type, then press Enter to save. Anything else in the list, such as BPM, length, file type or date added, comes from the file or from analysis and is not typed in here. For one stubborn file you would rather fix outside the library, the browser MP3 tagger writes the tags directly, then Engine DJ picks the change up on the next scan.

Yes. Hold Shift and click to select the tracks, then double-click the field while you are still holding Shift. Type the value and press Enter, and a window appears asking you to confirm the change for those tracks. It sets one identical value on every track you selected, so it fits Genre, Album, Label or Year, not a per-track fix like a single title typo.

The Engine DJ user guide files these edits under ID3 Tags and describes ID3 tags as the track's metadata stored in the file itself, which you can update and edit within Engine DJ. The same section explains the return trip: change tags in another editor and Engine DJ will not see them until you right-click the track and choose Re-import track information.

It re-reads the tags from the exact file Engine DJ has on record, so it only shows a change if your other tag editor saved to that file rather than a copy. A track in red text has moved and stays inaccessible until you choose Relocate Missing File. If you are actually chasing BPM or key, use Re-analyze: Overwrite existing track data, which uses Engine DJ's own detection regardless of the ID3 tag on the file.

BPM is not one of the fields you can type into. Load the track to a deck and use the Grid Edit Controls: Tap Tempo, the +/- BPM buttons, /2 and 2X, and Reset to go back to the analyzed tempo. If those controls are greyed out, the beat grid is locked. Click the lock icon to unlock it, and check the Grid column, which shows a lock for that track.

Yes, and the changes come back. With Engine Remote Library connected over the same network, edits to performance data, track metadata and playlists made on the hardware update in real time in your Engine DJ software collection. If you work from a drive instead, connect it and click Resync Track Info in the media devices panel, which returns cues, loops, beat grid and meta tag data to the main database.

That is a drive setting, not a broken tag. Click the Drive Preferences icon in the Drives section of the Collection pane, open Display, and set Track Title to Metadata rather than Filename. Metadata shows the track's ID3 tags on the controller, Filename shows only the file name. If the title really is empty, fix it in the list first, then export the library to the drive again.

No. The track list, the editable fields and the Shift batch edit behave the same on macOS and Windows. The user guide only splits the two for modifier keys and file browsing: hold Command on macOS where Windows uses Ctrl to pick tracks one by one, and the right-click menu reads Show in Finder rather than Show in Explorer.

Do it in bulk before it reaches the player. Vibes imports the Engine DJ database with playlists intact, lets you correct fields per track in the Track Inspector, bulk re-analyzes everything missing BPM or key, and finds duplicates in three layers. Then you export playlists and vibes back to Engine DJ. The same cleanup exists for rekordbox, Serato and Traktor.
