how to include Rating (stars) in the search arguments?

macsoft

I'm used to quick compoung searches in Traktor using "|" for OR, but how do I include rating in a search? imagine I just wanna search to 5 star rating songs, what would I put in the search bar?

And no, I don't wanna sort the list by rating and then I'll have the 5 stars on top. Because my listings will most likely be sorted by BPM and then by KEY, so I can't introduce a 3rd sorting option

thanks in advance

I don't think that there is such option, but (just an idea) it might be possible if you use the "star" button of your computer keyboard.

Maybe this "tip" for Windows can give you an idea, to test?
Very little info about similar requests online, zero info on Traktor manuals.

If also @lord-carlos and @Stevan have no idea, then you should probably forget it…

The only workaround I could think of is have multiple smart Playlist with the different ratings.

I use smart playlists for this. ALL my tracks are rated 1-5 stars and I make filters based on bpm, key and or genre. Only rated tracks are in there. The ratings MUST be applied in Traktor as other programs use different methods (numbers) to rate tracks 1 through 5, this generally only applies to FLAC files.

smart playlists are very limited! you can't use "|" OR statements. also: you can't look for a word in any field. My tracks are rated too. What I need is a way to search 5 star ration on the search bar (for example)

Make a smart list with your whole collection, have that only display 5 star rated tracks. Select the smart list, and use the search function. Done.

its not very practical to tag my entire collection with a rating tag, when all my songs have star ratings already
