Navigating your library

The library contains all the music that you have added to Serato DJ Pro. By using browse and search, you can easily narrow down your selection to find the track you want.

TIP: You can change the size of your library text by using the keyboard shortcuts control + and control -.

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F to jump to the search box. This keyboard shortcut will also take you out of any crate or playlist that you might be in and into your main library, so you can find any track in your collection. If you then click on a crate or playlist, the search query will be cleared.

Simply right-clicking on any section of the header area of library library column will show the options below.

Tip: These columns can come in handy if you need to troubleshoot an issue. The 'Location' column is a really helpful tool as it tells you where Serato DJ Pro is reading that file from on your computers hard drive. If your tracks are missing but you don't know why, checking the Location column can give you a clue as to where Serato DJ Pro is trying to read the file from, so you can either put the files back into that location or tell Serato DJ Pro to look elsewhere by using the 'Relocate Lost Files' feature.

Sorting Columns

You can sort any column by clicking on the column header you wish to sort by. Click once to order by ascending values or twice to order by descending values.

Tip: Using the first column of the library is a great way to group files together and delete bulk missing or corrupt files. Click the arrow in the first column to sort all your missing files together. All missing files will now be at the top (or bottom) of your library.

You can also assign a secondary sort column, if say, you wish to organise by BPM, then by Key, for example.
Holding CTRL (CMD on OSX/macOS) on your keyboard and clicking on the desired second column will assign it as a secondary column. Clicking a second time on a primary or secondary column will change between an ascending and descending sort.
Holding CTRL + SHIFT while clicking on the secondary column, will disable secondary sorting.
