Itunes

You cant use Itunes to DJ, its not a djing ap - you can only be a glorified meat jukebox with itunes.

It is however a fairly useful DJing tool for some people, used for ripping, playlist creation and music organisation.

a few questions with mac and i tunes...

-how do i arrange my music in i tunes??

-what folder do i save my music files to?? like for eg. i have a track in the download folder, i play it and it gets added to i tunes.. this track occupies hard disk space in the download folder as well as i tunes folder?

-how do i change the genre/album name/other info of a particular track without going into i tunes.. coz once i change the genre of a particular track in i tunes and then decide to delete it frm i tunes all the info i edited is gone... so the next time i play that particular track it gets added into i tunes and then i need to edit the info/genre once again...

any tips/info welcome.. i'm using serato itch.. thanks

Basically think of itunes as the base for it all. change and organize however seems best to you within itunes and then every now and then just delete your downloads from the download folder. just click on "finder" then "whatever you named your profile" then "downloads". select whatever is in there that you don't want and delete.
i don't know how serato works but with traktor i just load my itunes library into traktor and I'm done (other than beat gridding).
why would you "change the genre of a particular track in i tunes and then decide to delete it frm i tunes"? this is the only part that didn't make sense to me.
