Hello -
So I am at a point now in which I can reorganize my library. I took a 6 month hiatus, sold my DJ gear, and stayed away from anything DJ-wise. I needed the break.
I am now 'back in it' and have returned to Serato from Traktor (that's a whole other discussion). I still have all of my music and have returned to a record (mp3) pool. My weakness, though, has always been track organization.
When I spun vinyl (the kind with music), I would organize my crates (they were actual milk crates) based on BPM. I put slower music in the front and, a few crates later, the faster music in the back.
When I went to software, I organized by genre (hip-hop, dance, old-school, etc...). I tried organizing by genre and subgenre but that got to be too tedious to sort through when spinning for a club and would need to get to tracks in a hurry.
I spin open-format and, even though the format idea worked for a bit, I was wondering if there was a better way.
How do you do it? What is your organizational method for track organization?
