Most of the changes in this update are based on user-feedback. So yes! Please let me know what bugs you. Often small changes can make a huge difference.

Version 5.1.1 introduces limited support for importing and exporting Serato crates. Limited, as the way crates are stored is actually quite unusual. Apparently a single crate can be spread over multiple volumes (devices), which is not supported (yet). Anyhow, to import a crate via File -> Import Playlist, you will have to find its crate file, which is typically located in a folder named _Serato_. To export a playlist as crate, you will need to make sure that all songs in your playlist are stored on the same device and then save the .crate file in the appropriate _Serato_ folder. To initiate the export, just use the regular playlist export functionality, i.e. right-click on a playlist and select Export Playlist..., then choose CRATE (see screenshot). Serato should pick up the new crate during the next restart.

There are a bunch of other small improvements and fixes. For details see the list below. As always, you can download the new version from the download section of the website.
