Which Crates(s) Contain This Track?

Scenario....
Having run out of track or crate ideas in the heat of a gig, a song request comes up and the song immediately excites the crowd.
Oh what a momentary relief!
BUT.....Now,
How do you move from there? You know the track exists in some crate but u have no idea which crate.
You know the folder the track is in, but your crates are not mirrored to your folder structure!
How do you guys locate the crate a track is sitting in?

Does serato have a hidden function like in rekordbox whereby it shows you the playlists containing a given track, and provides a shortcut to jump straight inside that playlist? Or is serato compeltely missing this valuable capability?
Can we ask for this function?

Been requested for at least 10+ years, it's completely missing the ability to tell you which crate(s) a song is in.

Makes library management basically non-existent.

I like this option, will encourage navigation through the creates of the serato library.

Saying that, I am afraid serato dj is dessigned to be used with taggs: this mean if the song you have played has a tagged called "SuperHype" you can always make a search in that moment with the following rules:
1) is "SuperHype"
2) genre is "Hip Hop" or whatever you want or BPM is lower than 100 etc.

SO yeah, I am afraid serato ask djs to have a very small library or to use taggs.

How do you add tags to a song?

Writting in the metadata fields you see in serato dj.

Thank you everyone who made valuable comments on this thread I created 2 years back. It's paid off with serato 4.0, and finally we can search crates too!

I don't think this forced Serato to add this feature, even a silly fish knows library management need to locate where a item (song) is organized (folder/crates/playlists/etc.).

Serato library 4.0 is still far away from iTunes library management features, which is the software they have assumed djs used to use as it is integrated in the serato dj itself. I celebrate they have improved the library but they still need to improve it to make it a real choice.
