So i guess my question here: Do you place your music files in organized file folders or just dump them all into one big folder?

My best advice is to make iTunes your default player. That way, iTunes will automatically store every music or mp4 file you play or have in your laptop. It will also automatically sort out the tracks in your designated folder based on Artist Name.

Basically, arrange iTunes to your personal liking, but bare in mind that if you move the track manually to another folder or make changes to it in your root folder, iTunes will not be able to locate it. The default settings for iTunes Media is user/music/iTunes/iTunesMedia..

Good Luck 🙂

now i decided between thesetwo
[SIZE=18px][B][SIZE=3]Sennheiser HD 205 II DJ Headphones[/SIZE][/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]DENON DN-HP500 [/SIZE]

help my pick

I have a pair of Denon HP500 and I can tell you that they look identical to the Xone XD-40. I’m pretty happy with my Denons. They’re comfortable and the sound quality is pretty good with high quality tracks (320kbps). They seem to do the job well enough so far, but I’ll surely upgrade to HD-25’s sometime in the future.

Other, enlighten me, my budget is at a maximum of about 700$ if I can sell the Mixtrack for like 150. I’m pretty new to all of this.

Thanks!

You can get an open-box DN-MC6000 from a certified Denon Dealer in the US for less than $700. I second DJ Hessler’s advice regarding the MC6000 over the S4. The solid feel of Denon will make you forget all other models you had in mind. I can send you a link if you want

Good Luck with your new investment 🙂

I’m a hobbist beginner DJ, finishing my new apartment and need some help with speakers, please.

I am travelling to SF in early march, and want to buy a pair of speakers for my new apartment here in my country. Electronic products are way too expensive here. If you guys could recommend a pair of speakers, I would appreciate it a lot.

The specs I’m looking for are these (or as close as possible), in order of priority:

– Up to $600
– Small enough to fit in a travel bag
– Nice design

I’m thinking of buying a subwoofer here, because those are too large to fit in my bag.

Also, if you guys know of stores in SF, it would be great. I’m getting a Traktor S4 as well.

BEST!!!

I totally second Eros’s advice regarding the Rokit 6’s. I have a pair of Rokit 5’s playing in a room which is about 30sqm, and they totally rock!!!! If there’s any way you can make the compromise of carrying a pair of Rokits, I am confident you will never regret buying them. They are an awesome piece of work!!

However, if you’re interested in something small and pretty light to carry while traveling, I would seriously recommend the Bose Companion 5. Although they are classified as Multimedia Speakers, they are much more impressive than that the label and are cheaper than the budget you proposed. I think they’ll be great for an apartment or a bedroom, but wouldn’t rely on them as main speakers for a party.
