^ that sounds like a shit ton of extra work…what do you do with songs that are like 2 different genres? Progressive Electro, Housy Electro etc?
With the grouping option and using smart playlists it will automatically create playlist that meet certian fields. This way all you have to do is just tag them properly and it will be in that playlist.
It would be a total nightmare for me to find a certian song within all those folders lol.
The way i have it set up is
Artist (original artist), Track name, Album is the last person who touched the song aka Lazy Rich remixes, or what not.
Then in the Genre it is what the main genre is….then under my grouping field i have it set to the feel of the song
Swing, Funky, Banging, Big Room, Synthy, Jackin, Housy, Ambient, Breaky, Peak Hours blah blah blah u can make a ton of names for the feel of the song
Then with the rating system i rate it for the time of the night..1 being the beginning and 5 stars being the end of the night
I use comments to tag all my Camelot wheel
I then use the smart playlists and set rules to be like Genre: Electro House, Grouping: Banging,
so that smart playlist will always be up to date for all songs that i tag as electro and with the grouping Banging
Now that that is done i can browse through all my smart playlists and create a playlist for a specific night.
As well i have showcase pieces in seperate playlists…this could consisit of up to 5 songs that just go super well together.
Usually i only find these through trial and error of just fucking around with tracks on a regular basis.
