    I’m a club dj only, so this probably won’t work for mobile guys, but I seperate genre then sub genre, then write the feel of the track in the comment field eg. bangin, massive, deep, anthem, loopy, tribal etc… and what part of a set the track would fit eg. open, start, peak, end, close, and whether the intensity builts drops or stays in the middle. I do it the first time I listen to a track after buying it

    If I were you though, I would seperate them into crowd types, probably the most relevant would be age brackets like

    tweens – rnb, pop
    teenagers – rnb, hip hop, commerial dance, pop, emo! (LOL)
    young adult – electro, drum n bass, dubstep, house, hard dance, rap etc…
    over 28 – 90’s rock, classic dance, classic hip hop, classic rap
    over 40 – 70’s rock, rock n roll, frank sinatra & other crap
    family – dunno the wiggles I guess…

    they all have very different taste in music, and that way you don’t need to set anything up for a function unless requested

    One thing i want to clarify is that file organization could be different from playlist…. iTunes is great for playlist but you can move files from one folder to another.

    i have a program called mixmeister fusion that i use.i basically put in the comments what genre and give a rating to the track.program provides bpms and keycodes as a guide.this is part of many things i do in prep for a gig
