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

Remove Anything in Brackets

Include Remixer Field
