Just got the latest build. Things seem to be working more-or less. Here's a list of concerns I have still.
1. I'm getting tons of dropouts and spikes in cpu usage. I do have other apps running currently, but I am hearing way to many glitches, clicks, pops, dropouts, and these wierd drone 'blank' sounds, esp when loading new tracks and mixing.
(after 10+ mins of use, the dropouts seem to be much less frequent. not sure if it just spiked at the beginning, but I will keep testing)
2. iTunes playlist folders? I can see all of my itunes playlists, but the folder hierarchy is not showing up. I'm using dunks 1984 skin. Is it a skin thing or just a current limitation?
3. Selecting multiple tracks and moving them in playlist. I can't seem to select a bunch of tunes (using shift and/or CMD) and move them into the current playlist. I'd like this to behave just like itunes, and finder in this regard. Grab a few tunes or all of them in a directory and drag them over to the playlist.
4. Show in finder - I'd like to be able to open a finder window with the selected file in it from a right-click in djdecks. Same with directories.
5. Refresh folder? CMD+R would be very handy.
6. BPM not showing up in folder view, but exists in tag. I'm seeing no BPM in the column, but when I open 'edit tag' it shows a bpm! I know 99% of my tracks have bpms, so its strange they're not all showing up in the playlist/folder view.
File comment: Playlist view shows no BPM, but edit tag does.

7. Strange Folder file selection bug. It seems to be selecting multiple files when i single click on any track in the folder view. This had something to do with me using Shift & CMD to try and select multiple tracks, but then seemed to get stuck on the 'shift' mode without me pressing shift. The folder view kept adding files to the selection on every click of a track.
8. Loading specific track seems to have crashed the deck. I tried loading a song and the player became unresponsive. Now I can't load any songs into the decks. Trying to quit DJDecks manually didn't work- and then the app crashed. Relaunching now.
Upon relaunch, I can't open any open any folder, or itunes playlist. Double clicking does nothing, clicking on folders bounces the view back to 'iTunes' in the folder navigator.
After a minute or two of being open, the folders seem to be loading now. Not sure if it was trying to buffer or something?
Thats all for now I think.
Is it possible some of my older configuration files are corrupting the install? Should I remove all djdecks files/folders and then reinstall it?
Unfortunately this is currently very far from solid. I was hoping again to see that some of the basics would be sorted out with the mac version. I hope my feedback helps?
thanks,
