Dropping the track on the lower waveform will load it into Deck B at the right. Click on the desired song in the File List. Press F1 to load the song onto Deck A or press F2 to load the song onto Deck B. Note: This technique can be extremely helpful when using the Full Browser View (F6) which hides the Decks from view. Also, if using a Mac laptop computer, you may need to hold the Fn key while pressing the function keys in order for these features to work. Sorting the List There are eight categories displayed across the top of the File List window: Artist, Song, Album, Track # (Track Number), BPM (Beats Per Minute), Genre, Length, and Comment. These categories are taken from the ID3 tags of your music files or, in the case of song length and BPM, calculated as part of Torq's file analysis. An ID3 tag is a standard format for storing additional information within a music file. You can sort the contents of the File List by clicking on any one of the categories at the top of the window. For example, if you click the "Album" category, the File List will be sorted alphabetically (A to Z) by Album name. If you click "Album" again, the order will be reversed (Z to A). You could also click on the BPM column to sort all your songs by their BPM. This can be very useful when looking for songs of a similar BPM. Click the Reset button to return to the default sort order.
