Topic: Key detection in future versions of VDJ?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Just as the topic says :) Is there any kind of plan to add key detection to VDJ? Or at least have a field for "Key" that the user can fill in? That would rock.

Yes, currently I'm using the comments field for this... I have each track labeled by its Camelot notation #, written with a 0 in front for single digits -- so for example, for 4B, I have it written as "04B"... This way I can sort the comments column, and it automatically sorts the tracks by compatible keys... Not a bad system, but it would be nice to leave the "comments" field truly for actual comments... Why not at least have the option to add a "key" column? It would be very helpful... And enabling VDJ to do key detection would be even better! :)

Well, Camelot's just the name of this company that has ripped off the idea of the "circle of fifths" -- you can wikipedia that if you don't know what it is... Here is the Camelot system description:

It's just a way of numbering different keys so it's easy to remember which ones go together... You can tell which ones go together because they are numbered chronologically according to this chart:

It's a decent idea, but a lot of people think learning it this way prevents you from really learning the music theory involved... On the other hand, it's a very simple and convenient way to sort music -- so, would like it incorporated in VDJ if possible :)

And here is the tool that automatically scans your mp3 and add the "Note" either to the id3 tag of your mp3 or just add it after/before the Artist or title in the Mp3 name
