Serato Options
Streaming Service
Serato only supports one enabled streaming service at the same time. So if you use a streaming service (Beatport, Tidal, etc), make sure it is enabled in the Serato settings. If it is not enabled, Lexicon will not import those streaming tracks from Serato.
Tracks in parent crates/folders
Serato lets you drag tracks into a "parent" crate, like the one highlighted below.
Lexicon does not support tracks inside a parent folder so during import Lexicon will create special playlists called _FolderTracks
containing the parent crate tracks.
Why doesn't Lexicon support tracks inside a parent folder? Because it is a bad organizational practice. Your parent folder would become an unorganized mess and it's impossible to know which tracks belong there and which belong in a sub-playlist. It's always better to create a new playlist, even if you're going to use it as a messy/unorganized playlist on purpose.
