Session Mode

Build queues for listening, radio, release and DAW work.

Session mode helps you work with active queues, playlists and listening passes without losing the creative context of your library.

Listening work

Listening sessions with context

Session mode is for working with groups of songs instead of isolated files. Load a playlist, a library selection or a review queue and keep listening while you decide what belongs together.

  • Load internal playlists.
  • Build active queues.
  • Search inside a session.
  • Continue listening without losing context.
  • Move between songs with next and previous controls.

Use cases

Useful for radio, releases and DAW rescue

Session mode helps you test how songs work together and prepare groups of tracks for a specific purpose.

Radio preparation

Build and test radio-ready sets or listening blocks.

Release selection

Compare candidates and decide what belongs in a release.

DAW Rescue

Group tracks that need production, stems, arrangement, mix or mastering.

Deep listening

Spend time with selected songs without browsing the full library.

Archive review

Check borderline tracks before archiving them.

Playlists

Playlists inside TagDeck

TagDeck playlists are internal working lists. They help you organize review passes, radio sets, release candidates, references and unfinished material.

  • Create playlists from selections.
  • Create playlists from filters.
  • Add songs to queues.
  • Reorder playlists.
  • Use playlists as review sessions.
  • Prepare future export workflows.

Purpose

Not a streaming player — a curation session

Session mode includes playback, but the goal is not just listening. The goal is deciding what the music is for.

Listen, compare, group, decide.

Decide together

Turn listening into decisions

Use Session mode when a single song is not enough and you need to understand how tracks work together.
