How to Clean Track Titles

If your track titles aren't perfect don't worry. Now Playing will automatically clean it up on the fly so you don't have to make any changes to your DJ library.

Now Playing does not edit your database. It only changes the overlay.



Hide ID Tracks

"Firefly (Extended Mix) [ID]" → "ID"

If you do not want certain tracks from being shown add "[ID]" to the title in your DJ software. Now Playing will show this title as "ID"

Remove BPM from Title

"124 - 4A - On The Beach (Kryder Extended Remix)" → "On The Beach (Kryder Extended Remix)"

Enable this if your track titles includes BPM and you want to remove it. If you use Mixed In Key this also commonly used with "Remove Camelot Keys from Title" and "Remove Space Dash Space".

Remove Camelot Keys from Title

"124 - 4A - On The Beach (Kryder Extended Remix)" → "On The Beach (Kryder Extended Remix)"

Enable this if you have Camelot keys written in your title and you want to remove it. If you use Mixed In Key this also commonly used with "Remove BPM from Title" and "Remove Space Dash Space".

Remove Anything in Brackets

"Erupt 2.0 (Ian Axide Remix) [NMNR003]" → "Erupt 2.0 (Ian Axide Remix)"

Enable this if you have stuff in square brackets that you want to remove.

Remove File Extensions

"Optimize (Original Mix).mp3" → "Optimize (Original Mix)"

Enable this if you have file extensions in your track and you want to remove them.

Remove Space Dash Space

"124 - 4A - On The Beach (Kryder Extended Remix)" → "On The Beach (Kryder Extended Remix)"

Enable this if you included separators in your track name that you want to remove. If you use Mixed In Key this also commonly used with "Remove BPM from title" and "Remove Camelot Keys from Title".

Convert Underscore to Spaces

"Mr_Oizo_-_Flat_Beat" → "Flat Beat" by "Mr Oizo"

Enable this if your track names have underscores in it. This option is also commonly used with "Split up artist - title".

Clean Up Multiple Spaces

"Shine    (Extended Mix)" → "Shine (Extended Mix)"

Enable this if your track names have multiple spaces.

Split up artist - title

"Synthsoldier & Horyzon - Wandering" → "Wandering" by "Synthsoldier & Horyzon"

Enable this if your track names include both artist and title.

Include Remixer Field

"STUF!" → "STFU! (Extended Mix)"

Enable this if you're streaming music from Beatport Link. The remix shows up in a different field.


Regular Expression Filter

This feature is only available with the Pro version.

This allows you to clean up things specific to your titles using regular expression. Now Playing uses ECMAScript.

Below are a few examples:

Remove sharp keys (eg: G or F#)/(\s[a-f]#?$|\s[a-f]#?\s)/gi
Remove websites/(somewebsite.com)/gi
Remove bit rates (eg: 320k)/320k/gi
Multiple words or strings (eg: SAWH108 and AMSTR416)/(SAWH108|AMSTR416)/gi
