You can drag and drop crates into other crates
to make subcrates. If you drag a crate to the very
left of the crate panel, it will stay in the top level
of the crate structure. If you drag the crate a little
to the right, onto the name of another crate, it
will make the crate you are dragging a sub crate
of the rst crate.
SmaRt cRateS
Smart crates are crates which update their
contents by using keywords which are matched
with selected tags of your music library tracks.
Smart crates can be updated automatically or at
your discretion.
To create a smart crate, click the Add Smart
Crate button in the bottom left corner of the
main screen (blue crate icon). A popup
window will open which allows you to add the
rules to ll your smart crate. Press  to
add a rule for the smart crate to match with. For
each rule you can choose a eld to match on
from the drop down menu:
•Added(date)

•Artist

Scratch Live can support an unlimited number of
tracks – the only limitation is the size of the hard
drive of your computer. A number of features
are included to help you to keep your music
organized and nd songs quickly and easily.

Scratch Live supports several ways of organizing
and sorting your le library. iTunes users will
notice that Scratch Live can incorporate your
existing iTunes library and playlists.
Scratch Live uses digital “crates” for quick
access to your favorite collections. There is no
limit to the number of crates you can create, and
any given track can be placed in multiple crates.
For example, you could organize your les into
the following crates, where any one track would
be led in more than one crate:
•HipHop
•UKHipHop
•FrenchHipHop
•InstHipHop
•OldHipHop
•HipHopLPs
To make a new crate, click the Add New Crate
button in the bottom left corner of the main
screen (brown crate icon). To rename a
crate, double click the crate name.
You can change the order of tracks within a
crate by sorting by the “#” column and dragging
them up or down.
