I plan to make a fx presets folder aswell, but not necessary for now. the 3 root folders are my prep tracks folder (drag songs from itunes in there, play it, If I like it, I chop the cues and rename it in my "Tracks" folder), then my regular Tracks folder (mostly just for dragging tracks from the prep folder). once a song is on the deck, I warp it, making sure there are only 2 warp markers, trying to get it as close to a whole number as possible, and slice the track. I have between 4-10 clips per song. I use the "next" follow action to have the next clip in the sequence play once the current one is finished. This is what works for me, although when I move to a macbook pro, I'll probably use the smart folders system and use finder to look up clip packs and drag them into a deck.
Also worth noting, the Liine Lemur app ($50) looks absolutely fantastic. and it has OSC support and MIDI support over wifi or usb. The Mu M4L setting looks like it's definitely a worthy bang for the buck.
