I do this after buying and analysing keys. Here is how I mark them:
* = Chillout
** = Warm Up
*** = Transition
**** = Peak
***** = Classic/Dance floor bomb
Using that along with genre and key usually helps to narrow down the selection easy enough. If I get in bother playing a particular style, I can easily find a classic to pull me out.
Thanks for this star rating system Haroon K, I am just about to rate my tracks in Itunes, I was unsure if I should organise by time of night or otherwise but I think your system suits me best! Has anyone else any variations they would recommend?
