The New Serato DJ Library Beta Is Open
The moment DJs have been waiting for is finally here…almost. Serato has officially opened the public Beta for its all-new library in Serato DJ Pro and Lite 4.0 and it’s everything you’ve been asking for, marking the most significant upgrade to library management in our history. Years in the making and shaped by deep community feedback, this update delivers a smarter, faster, and more visual way to organize and navigate your music collection.
Built With DJs, For DJs From Reddit threads to support tickets to one-on-one conversations, we’ve been listening. You asked for a better library — so we rebuilt it from the ground up. The result is a reimagined library experience designed to make organizing your music easier, faster, and more personalized than ever before.
Here’s what’s new:
Track Rating Use the new Track Rating feature to rate your songs directly in the library. Your ratings appear in the new Rating column, which you can customize with stars or emoji* you like.
*Country flag emojis are not available on Windows
Crate Search Quickly find the crate you need with the new Crate Search. A faster way to navigate your Crate List and jump straight to the right crate. Please note, this feature is exclusively available in DJ Pro.
Favorite Crates Create a shortcut to your go-to crates and pin them to the top of your library for quick access.
Show Track in Crates Right click on a track and select “Show in Crates” to see all Crates that particular track is in.
Crate Color Customize your Crates with colors from a right click color palette.
Sort Crates Sort your crates in the order that best suits you. Choose from Alphabetical, Date Created or Custom.
Crate Info Speed up the time it takes to prep your DJ set by instantly knowing how many tracks, the total time and the size of a crate, displayed in the Status Bar.
Album Artwork Album art just got more flexible, now you can resize it in your library. Zoom in for detail, or shrink it to keep your view clean and compact.
Analyze on Import Enable this feature to automatically analyze things such as BPM and KEY when adding new files to your Serato DJ library.
Analyze with Hardware Connected Tracks continue to analyze things such as BPM and KEY while still connected to hardware.
Streaming Tracks in Crates Add streaming tracks to your crates and browse local and streaming music all in one place.
As well as the features mentioned above, enjoy these familiar Serato additions coming to DJ Lite: Played tracks now offer more flexibility — choose how they appear in your library with customizable colors like green, gray, or no color at all. You can now view your recent sets in the history panel, and choose to display your tracks’ keys in Camelot or Alphanumeric.
