Add a feature to read the folder structure and tracks contained within a specific folder on your drive, then convert them to Serato crates. Similar to Alchimie Zinc

Let me add more context to how it works....


You can point Alchemie Zinc to a folder where your folders are, ie: serato_music


Under serato_music you would have all you folders, ie: Pop, Rock, etc, etc.

What Alchemie Zinc allows you to do is add these folders as what they call a media root.

The only folders that synchronized to Serato DJ are the ones listed under Media Roots.

So after I fix tagging with mp3tag, analyze with Serato DJ, analyze with Mixed In Key 10 for cue point generation. I move the files to their respective folders.

Then click Synchronize Crates to update all the crates in Serato DJ

This will add any new tracks to existing crates or create new crates from new media roots added and add those tracks into the new crates automatically.

The reason I do this because all my tracks processing is done on my Studio PC and then Alchimie Zinc runs on my Macbook to update Serato DJ and voila.

What would be wicked is if I could synchronize from another system vs having to remote into the Macbook to run it locally like I do now.

That might be tricky though.
