    Lately i’ve been moving tracks over to ITunes, they are normally in the Recenly added folder. Then on Serato Intro I move them into crates with other songs that i plan to mix.

    I have a folder that i.. hold your hats call “New Stuff” and from that i move them out into folders matching the style after they have been analyzed and i have set beatgrid

    Thanks for your reply guys. I am just new to the technology and I am trying to figure things out.

    No problem im new too and i have been looking around for ideas to this as well and at the end this seemed most logical, but you never know it might change when the collection grows 🙂

    If you can forget the idea of keeping them in physically different folders and accept that your iTunes playlists ARE your folders, you’ll be fine. While some DJs still organise music by physical folders, most are happy not to nowadays.

    Thanks Phil. I have already sorted out the various play lists and its an amazing feeling turning up at a gig knowing that you know exactly where everything is.

    I will be posting a thread shortly on some of the things I took away from my first gig in 7 to 8 years. I ended up playing there 3 nights in a row. And I will be heading back again next week.

    Amazing feeling! And thank you for your Digital DJ Tips Phil! 🙂

    If you fancy jotting that down in a rough article, I’d happily look at it for the main site 🙂

    1) create a master folder. (ex:Fuxxwiddit.Music)

    2) In that folder take all dance tracks/dj music and run them in Mixed in Key so it changes the id3 tag with the key and bpm.

    Then take the tracks that you downloaded that day and put them into a folder for that day “ex: 8.24.12” after that I take that folder and put it into a folder by month (ex: Fuxxwiddit.August.2012).

    Master folder > Month of the year > Day.

    Then I import them all into rekordbox.

    (A friend just recently hooked me up with a free Macbook Pro so I might consider making folders in itunes but that might be a little over sensitive)
