How to Tag With Serato
Songs tags are embedded pieces of metadata that allow you to organize the music in Serato's Itch or Scratch Live digital DJing programs. You could, for example, tag all your old-school hip-hop tracks with that genre, or categorize songs into "warm-up," "peak-time" and "end of the night" groupings. Once you've tagged the songs in your Serato library, you can sort them according to their tags, or use Serato's search box to quickly locate the tracks you want to play. Add or edit a song's tags from within the list of songs in your Serato library.
