Library metadata (art/tags) updates
I'm not entirely certain how DJ.Studio processes music files when they are "imported" to the library, but it seems that any external updates to the cover art or tags of music files are not automatically processed. So, for example, if I want to create an export for YouTube and I want to update the art for a track, it seems that I would need to remove the track from mix/project and also the DJ.Studio library. If it's a track that I'm adding via MixedInKey, it seems even trickier. It seems that I'd need to remove it from both apps to have the track re-processed.
I'm not sure what the easiest feature request would be. I'm guessing one that would allow for adding the cover art inside the DJ.Studio library directly. That being said, I think it would make more sense if you had your app reload changes of cover art and/or tags of each launch of your app. Most of your customers are not going to be using the app to manage their music library.
Alternatively, if you'd add a context menu to manually update a track's metadata (art/tags) from the library menu I think that would be a good alternative if you don't want to program DJ.studio to automatically update library metadata upon launch.

DJ Studio needs to add metadata refresh functionality. The lack of this functionality is quite limiting for people who rely heavily on metadata and make changes after importing music into DJ Studio.

We read the metadata one time only. The moment you add a track to the mix, it is copied to our cache, and that's when we read the metadata. It is impossible to scan all metadata continuously, but it is a good idea to come up with a popup menu with a "rescan track metadata" option!
In the track detail screen you can upload cover art already:

That's awesome! I couldn't previously find where to upload art. For example, it would be useful to be able to do it from here...

Just read this reply. A manual metadata rescan by track or by batch selection would be most welcomed!
