Yea you guys are right. I'm also thinking maybe energy level. Chill-out would be allot of 1* and 2* and that's fine because that's where they would belong. I dunno. Just throwing ideas out there.

I rate my music on set times
1* Warm Up
2* Warm Up - Intro
3* Dance Starter
4* Peak
5* Club Banger
I use star ratings this way:
* slow, ambient
* slower dance music
*** medium pace music
**** fast music
***** crazy energy levels
Now, for Nu-disco a lot falls into *** and ****, for chill betwen * and ***, I guess psy i all ***** but that's how it is. But per genre mixing those give me clues not to get a *** track after a ***** unless I want it to happen. And it's hard to remember 25k+ tracks how they exactly sounds.
Oh, I also try to grade tracks in the comment section, it starts with [a], [b] or [c] with comments after that. With a smart playlist I could find all [a] tracks or all graded ones. I also have simple playlists with the absolute best tracks I know of per genre but I sometimes feel it's like being a radio DJ to just use those tracks over and over.
Did I mention to make your own genre specs, much better than using anything the MP3/AAC files deliver?
Very helpful, thanks!
excellent post, well done!
Thanks all :thumbup:
Excellent post. I just wish Itunes would support FLAC natively
I KNOW!! Apple is supposed to be all innovative and stuff but their flagship music software is missing FLAC support. WTF?! :blink:
