Using the [History] panel
 Browsing the history
The [History] tab opens a complete log of all the tracks you have played
and allows exporting ITCH session information as a data file.
1 Play tracks.
The history of the tracks that have been played is displayed in the
[History] panel by session.
2 Click the [History] tab on the computer's screen.
The [History] panel is displayed.
The history only displays tracks that have actually been played.
This function uses an AB algorithm; the deck (A) tracks are only
displayed when the deck (B) tracks are changed or ejected. To
display tracks that have been previewed but not actually played,
check [Show Unplayed Tracks]. In sessions, these tracks are
displayed in gray (or black) along with tracks that have actually
played. It is also possible to mark tracks as having played or to
unmark them manually. To do so, select the track (or tracks) and
click [MARK PLAYED] or [MARK UNPLAYED]. Tracks that have
been played are displayed in green in the library. When [CLEAR]
is clicked, the list of recently played tracks is cleared and the
library color returns to as it was before.
 About sessions

each time ITCH is re-opened or a new session is started manually.

artists played in that session are displayed.

played into the session (manual input).
— Export: Exports and saves the session information.

 Copying sessions into the crate list panel

panel.

to the crate list panel.
A note for users who have installed other
Serato Audio Research DJ software
ITCH shares its library with Scratch Live. The loop and cue points of
tracks set with Scratch Live can be used as such with ITCH, and infor-
mation set with ITCH can likewise be used with Scratch Live. If you use
both software programs alternately, note that their libraries will have the
same contents.
About backing up library information
When ITCH is installed, the [_Serato_] folder is created at the location
in the computer shown below, and the library and crate information is
stored in this folder.
Windows: My Documents > My Music > _Serato_
Macintosh: Users > Music > _Serato_
When tracks are added to the library from an external hard disk, for
example, the [_Serato_] folder is also created on the hard disk.
When ITCH is quit the first time after installing it, a confirmation mes-
sage concerning the creation of a backup library is displayed.
When you check [Backup library] on the confirmation message screen,
click [Yes], then close the software, the [_Serato_Backup] folder is cre-
ated in the [My Music] folder (in the [Music] folder for Macintosh) and
the library information is backed up.
After this, whenever you check [Backup library] on the confirmation
message screen, click [Yes], then close the software, the information is
backed up and the previous backup is overwritten.
